@@TheMacMaster I usually like MacMaster, but his constant comments about “snobby” BA are really annoying. I hVe flown BA many times, and found all the staff really helpful, pleasant and friendly.
I don't understand your fascination with New York. It's one of the last places I would like to return to. Rude, arrogant inhabitants. High crime rate, traffic, noise. Expensive, stressful, and as for the ridiculous tipping culture.....
I worked five years for Lakers Airways at Gatwick. We were the cut price way to fly before Virgin. We were forced out of business by British Airways and other airlines dirty tricks. Sir Freddie Laker received 6 million pounds in compensation. We got nothing but we tried through an American Attorney
@@PhilipMcCartney-pq8fs In Canada, we also had an economy charter airline called 'Ward Air', based out of Edmonton, Alberta; and it was the best airline this country ever had with real metal cutlery and cloth napkins.😀
There is a Wetherspoons in T5, its called 'The Crown Rivers' and its over by the A1-A7 gates. I always go there for a coffee and breakfast when I fly to NY from Heathrow. Looking forward to some more New York videos, as I go back in March 2025 for my 6th visit. Can't wait! Onwards. 🕶
Lee I can’t believe how negative this Vlog was !!! If you think BA are snobby - which they are not ! Don’t travel with them and as for the comment about a hostess from Liverpool 😮 You’re walking around with a bloody chip on your shoulder what’s up with you ?????? Who cares if Terminal 5 have Prada etc its all part of the experience Cheer up and have a great Christmas 🎅🏻🤞🏼
Have always flown British Airways from terminal 5 and have never had any issues never been asked where sitting and they are our favourite airline to go to NYC with. Love Terminal 5 great atmosphere. Was jealous of your turkey dinner and we always sit the second row in economy. Hope you have a great trip and looking forward to some more great videos.
Sad to think that Concorde did that LHR to JFK in around 3hours back in the 70s 80s and 90s. fastest JFK to LHR 2hrs 54 mins.. BA were once a great airline, in my opinion still better than Virgin. Meal looked pretty good but BA have to improve on the 2nd meal service that pastry thing is awful. Next trip to JFK try and book BA A380 will give you something to talk about.😉
Oh Lee you really are asking for it now. What a dreadful snobby thing to say. The last I heard, people from Liverpool were well and truly British so why were you surprised to hear one of the cabin crew welcoming you on board with a Liverpudlian accent? Maybe you would have been better pleased if she'd had a foreign accent.
Get your point about fortnum but to be fair those with business or first class ticket usually go into the free lounge for drinks and food before the flight. Part of the ticket price paid. And more relaxing too.
We were meant to fly back with BA from Dallas to Heathrow last year.after visiting my daughter.No notification prior to getting to the airport,that it had been cancelled.We were put on a next day flight with American Airlines.No explanation given.
BA is a cold, soulless airline that has little reverence for a past (see the rotting Concorde as you mentioned at LHR). I have flown BA on a number of occasions, in the 90s when I lived in the UK. Hell, I remember the days of British Caledonian when I flew them several times from LGW-IAH during the early 80s…God, B-Cal smoked BA in so many ways. It was a sad day when BA bought them out if memory serves for £1. Simply put, BA can NOT and will NOT tolerate competition, glad to see Virgin survived is still around. Wish they would start up a Houston route, though I suspect we are not “hip-n-trendy” enough for VS, so we are stuck with BA 😏 and UA🤬
2 things. Firstly there are some new scanners at T5. If at the right hand side security and get a choice head to higher numbers at the left end. Secondly there is a Spoons. When through security facing p,ands turn left and go to end of the terminal. I’ve always found them to be pretty quick service wise, but of course order through an app!
Mmmmm Last time I checked Liverpool was British you mean a posh accent I think, for me I would rather hear a warm Northern accent but we all have our own preferences I suppose don't we Lee
Lee, if your lad loves Concorde, get yourself to the Runway Visitor Park at Manchester Airport and book a tour of Concorde which they have in the hanger. It's an absolutely brilliant tour with plenty of time to walk around and inside and get loads of great pictures. The tour staff when we went were exceptional. We weren't rushed around and also paid a little bit extra for a cockpit tour, where they tell you all about it and you get to sit in the captains seat. Can't recommend it enough!
Yup! After watching you arriving at airports hours before flight time, possibly having late flights and paying extortionate prices for airport food I'm definitely going by minibus for my next trip from Romania to the UK.
11:49 I was recording the Heathrow performance for terminal 3 when I landed from Oslo last Monday. Had to wait ages for it to go back to the first screen lol, but thought it was interesting to put in the video because they even show the negative data
My late uncle was a purser on BA transatlantic flights after he retired regular travellers always asked his colleagues how he was. Started off on BOAC as he discovered his love of travel when after his national service he worked on a merchant ship to New Zealand and stayed for a few years doing bar work.
I flew with BA from Heathrow to Madrid when I had offices over there many years ago. However the flight was delayed and cancelled several times due to bad weather and snow. We would set out to the airport on the Piccadilly Line and come out the tunnel and get the dreaded cancellation message. All we did was make a day of it, went to the check in to register and be told the flight was cancelled. This was a few days prior to Christmas Day. There were some very irate people there lambasting the check in staff. We were more contrite as it were and shook hands and went home to return another day for another flight. Well this happened three times and the same people got more irate. I said to them "what do you expect the crew to do, skate down the runway in a ball of flames so you get your paella"? Stunned silence and the woman behind the checkout winked and we home again, this was Christmas Eve, So Christmas Day came so we went by taxi, no messages and we got to check in and the same staff were there and we near the front of the queue Now for some reason this flight had First Class although we were in Economy and we think it was a hopper flight as it was going on to somewhere else and the plane had been changed to a bigger wide bodied one. So we got to the desk and we were pulled over to one side (ominous looks from everyone). Then we were told we had been moved to First Class, not only that Fist Class/VIP! Bear in mind it was only a shortish flight! So to cut a long story short we had our own escort that took care of everything, access to the not only First Class but the other VIP bit and a escort to the plane. I felt like Jackie Onassis! But back to Christmas with BA. Well this flight had fairy lights hanging from the baggage racks, we even had a Christmas Tree and the food was superb. We were also thanked by the captain for not being a stuck up knob like the other customers and accepting that our flight was delayed. We returned a few days later on NYE with the same flight crew albeit on a much smaller plane and we were immediately moved to Business Class with all the bells and whistles. They even paid for our taxi home so we can't complain at BA. It is the adage, put nice in and get nice out. Oh, I hold a pilots licence and I know how bad landing can be in bad weather even in a Cessna!
As a BA frequent flyer (personal holidays only) i often use the first lounges at LHR T5 as status holder. I always wondered who went to the Fortnum stand to drink champagne and eat caviar and oysters. I did stop and chat to the staff there once and 95% are economy passengers enjoying a bit of luxury. Goes to show that those who fly club or first eat in the BA lounges and those that pay less for the ticket upsplurge on posh food in the airport. Great vid though, although dont know how you dont upgrade sometimes to give yourself some more space.
Throughly enjoyed this vlog. Thanks Lee. Cant wait for more content coming our way. Enjoy.x. Do you remember the advert B.A. did in 1989 when they made a face that did that wink ?
I imagine anyone from Mansfield wouldn't be cabin crew with British Airways as they're all that thick they wouldn't pass the tests to qualify. 😂😂😂😂 Also if they could they'd be robbing anything they could get their hands on.😅😅
I've only flown BA once and they were great, couldn't fault them. This was the best meal I've seen you have on any airline in ages. Nice one BA. Wonder if Virgin are doing xmas dinners also.
Your Brussels sprouts segment reminded of Blazing Saddles and the campfire scene (it had to do with baked beans)! Nice journey Lee. I flew Delta last time I went to the UK, not a bad flight.
Lee... You can't compare an a380 with a 787 dreamliner they are 2 different categories of airliner. Now, a 747 vs a380 yes compare away. Anyway just my 2 pence worth 🤣
Virgin did indeed try to buy concorde, the problem was that Airbus who by then had got the intellectual rights to all the parts and designs for Concorde would not enter into an agreement to keep making spares for that aircraft, the same happened with the people who tried to keep the Avro Vulcan in the air as somehow Airbus had the patent for the parts and all the blueprints for the Avro planes

Yep agree , it's not like he is a short ar*e either ,put his legs behind his ears for more comfort
Man of the people keeping it real innit.
Yet you know in advance what he will say in the video but you still watch and post a negative comment....so you are peas I'm a pod son....😂
He can’t afford first class he’s a northerner our lee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🏴🏴
Lee you should fly premium, then you won’t feel so squashed in cattle class.😂

The price of that whisky is similar to the value your car has depreciated by

41:17 It's like the beans scene in _Blazing Saddles._ 🤣
Anymore Beans Mr Taggart? Id say you had enough! (Parp!)
I think that the lady who greeted you sounded extremely friendly and welcoming none of that fake upper class crap
The cabin air is piped to the engines to give it that extra vroom 😂

Give me Liverpool Airport any time. No messing about walking Miles and Trains in thee Airport. And Cheaper to eat.

Watching from Wetherspoons blackpool Layton rakes, hope you're enjoying your Jameson if your having one in new York lol

Am I the first on to tell you that theee is a ‘Spoons’ at T5? On the ground floor on the other end of the terminal to where you were
You are. 👍🏼
That whiskey is nearly as expensive as my house lol❤

London prices seem sky high until you get to NYC 💸💸💸
You always make lovely videos Lee ❤. They make me happy ❤
I love how they make you walk past the posh seats. Like they are saying, if you worked a bit harder you could be sitting here. 😂
LEE! YOU Dirty Boy!💨 Did you Follow Through!😳🤣
Probably too late for a warning but remember to wash your hands often if you're out and about. Norovirus is rife across NYC lately
The fact you mentioned she's from Liverpool says it all. Why mention it ? Not the brightest
Bit harsh. She seemed bright to me. Alright calm down. 😉

Your lucky Lee they were not serving cans of Guinness in the bar service with the sprouts for dinner 😂
Great video Lee that bottle of whiskey was pretty cheap 🤣 and the meal,didn’t look too bad 👍👍

How did you miss the terminal 5 spoons 😂
Wish I could go on so many flights as u lol 😭
Nice flight and xmas 🎄 🦃 dinner at 30000 feet cheers for sharing good luck at appartment hunting lee
Come on Lee Music at take off ! What's up like planes gone electric already lol

Big Wetherspoons in terminal 5. The Crown Rivers!!🎉
When using B or C gates take lift to lowest level from A and walk. Much quicker, same for return
Thank God I'm flying from T3 thinking of a second mortgage to eat. 😆

Re whisky at 90000 pounds…isn’t that how much you lost on your car? 😂
Always love your travel vlogs. BA do look to have improved recently. All the best with the apartment hunting.

Now, a 747 vs a380 yes compare away.
Anyway just my 2 pence worth 🤣
Agree 💯
I like the suitcase views. if you use go pros, you might try the clips that go on your backpack straps. It allows you to do more hands free filming.
I had the misfortune to watch a Lotus EV ad while watching this. Are there any iconic car manufacturers that didn’t lose their minds?? 🤷♂️
Stay aware and safe in NY. Taking BA to Spain in May. Short flight. The only other airline was Easy Jet. Good luck on your apartment search.
Morning love this made me laugh with all the farting sounds on the plane so funny . see you soon take care hun xxxx❤️
The food looks yummy ❤🎄
Dick Turpin wears a mask gets me everytime!
Virgin did indeed try to buy concorde, the problem was that Airbus who by then had got the intellectual rights to all the parts and designs for Concorde would not enter into an agreement to keep making spares for that aircraft, the same happened with the people who tried to keep the Avro Vulcan in the air as somehow Airbus had the patent for the parts and all the blueprints for the Avro planes
Watch out for those Drones over New York
Not seen any. Something a bit weird about that news story.
Give em credit where credit’s due. That Crimbo Lunch looked great.
