      The weird thing is, don't really know how many of you have seen inside the typical Boeing cockpit and the typical Airbus cockpit the instrument panels are actually in different colours.
      Boeing is this horrible looking Taupe colour like something out of the 1960s or 70s.
      Airbus is a greyish blue more modern and just generally tidier looking.
      Maybe the pilot was colourblind.

      They operate on other aircraft types, up to 3 variations, so it was a freudian slip. Remember many fly all the time and have done for many years, living out of a suitcase, so it's an honest mistake. Although they are given time to rest well, they are only human. This is a slight mistake on the pa, not on safety

      Hello there, just to clarify things, I am a pilot on the British Airways A350 fleet and I can inform you that the cabin crew service manager would have been the person delivering that speech. At this moment in time, us pilots would be concentration on communicating with air traffic control. Additionally we would have been monitoring the engine start. The pilots usually give their speech prior to the aircraft being pushed back. I hope this clarifies things as I’m pretty sure the pilot knows what he is flying. Have a great day 👍

    I'm glad you showed the US Declaration form. I work at LAS and was contracted to BA. Somehow, Americans coming in always assumed they didn't need to fill that out. Then get mad at us reps because they were kicked out of immigration line to go fill it out. It was every day. They were being told by other people. Some of the flight attendants didn't know, so they told the Americans they didn't have to fill it out. Us ground staff always got the shaft.
    I heard a rumor that LHR is supposed to get US Customs over there so you don't have to do it when you get to the states. Hope so.

    Great video. Were you using your new GoPro Hero 7 in the terminal at the beginning? It didn't seem to have the stability that is expected with the Hero 7. I got one myself last week and was amazed how stable it was when walking.

      Nope sorry this was just before the GP7, with the Hero5.
