Another great video noel!
6/7 hour sleep on a 6/7 hour flight with 2 hours remaining? 🤣🤔
Noel Philips: inflight Video there is a button at the top of the privacy visor in club that you pulled up next time try the button
Can you please do a tour on virgin Atlantic in economy please
You meant to tilt the glass
There was a sign at 3:14 'how to pour the perfect beer'
Enjoyable videos, doesnt matter where he goes he only ever has an hojr to get across London))) Subscribed
People under 18
I will never need that when i grow up
Once reach 18
Yup dont need that
As a person that tries to perfect the beer pouring process all the time, every time I cringed excessively watching that. At least tilt the glass!!
Not sure if you just didn’t know or if it wasn’t working but the divider can be put up and down electrically rather than manually
I love that the bus at 0:07 said "Have a nice day". That's when you know you are in Canada!
Ooh my I would have totally gotten the diner if it was me flying business. I wouldn’t care how tired I was, gotta get your moneys worth. Haha.
Looks like you missed the "how to pour the perfect pint" sign next to the draught punp
The food is the best part of any trip report.
Economy class : spongbob laughing
Stfu your mom is the best part of any tripreport
@@onlyaviation1260 shut up notice how u only fly Ryan air and budget panes
Great video Noel! Can’t believe you did Calgary and back in a day! 😵😊
Thanks Paul! Yep just a quick one lol, well at least I could sleep on the flight so not much worse than getting a hotel and flying back the next day which would have been my other option 😂
Bingtuma
how do u pay for all this
Never heard "Great views" and "Sheffield" in the same sentence 😂
There are indeed some great views in Sheffield. Have you ever been there? You can see green hills from various points in the city and the view from those areas can be tremendous - city and rural outskirts with the Peak District on the doorstep.
@@fluffyfour that's Coventry too! I didn't recognise the stadium and there wasn't enough green hills
@@fluffyfour that's Coventry too! I didn't recognise the stadium and there wasn't enough green hills
@@fluffyfour
Lots of good pubs, and the peak district is close.
I can't get enough of these videos. So entertaining
Can't get enough of your videos....keep em comin'!
*When* it finally opens fully, 'Crossrail' or to give it it's other name 'The Elizabeth line' will take you direct into central London from LHR with a quick change at Farringdon to get to St Pancras. This should hopefully speed up tight connections that come about from the usual nonsense associated with flying.
Thanks for uploading Noel! Great video, I love watching these videos!
Interesting, I’ve always wanted to see a review from you on the British Airways 787 😁
Great video, thanks for uploading!!
There is a button for the divider
When u pour the beer you need to snap back the pump fully and pour at 45 degrees
For pouring a pint, if it's coming out of the tap frothy, just be patient. But start the pour at nearly 90° angle. This will allow the liquid to loose it's carbonation by running down the surface of the glass. Do not move the glass quickly to the vertical, go as slow as necessary. If there is still foam, don't be afraid to keep pouring whilst the foam pours over the side. The key is to be patient. At least in these instances you don't have a customer waiting. The amount of times I worked rugby days whilst supporting my education, having an order of six Guinness is no joke, it can take a life time to pour.
Love your videos ! Keep it up‼️😆
Quality vid mate!🔥
The lady checking your boarding pass at 4:42 though 😍🔥
Hmmm... nothing special
Thanks for uploading. Looking forward to my Londontrip which is going to be from 18 -22 this month.
How was it?
great vid mate keep it up!!
BA.... SIMPLY THE BEST ❤️ I flew business class to Montreal 787.... service and flight OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU BA ❤️❤️
literally the worst business seat in this configuration, ba service is poor. try an asian or middle eastern airline.
@@TGLapin Slightly difficult to fly from London to Montreal on an Asian or Middle East carrier! 🙄 That aside, the new Club Suite is great if you get the right aircraft.
@@TGLapin What if you live in the UK and don't want to go to the middle east?
Fantastic Video mate. Huge Like :)
loved the video I remember my very first ever flight from Athens to Chicago was British Airways. Every year we would take British Airways to go to Athens I loved flying British! Great video! keep up the good work!
lovely! good editing noel .
There are two buttons that puts the privacy screen up Noel one on the control panel and one at the top of the divider.
Also the 747-400s BA are keeping in service for a few more years are being retro fitted with a new Panasonic IFE system which is way better than the old Rockwell system and also better than the Thales system fitted to all the other long haul fleet.
I should add I am a retired BA Cabin Engineer.
Hi there, maybe you can you tell me what tools I should carry onboard with me in the future to fix the bloody screens that flop around and won't stay in place.
Thanks in advance!
loved the video, pity my 5 year old aviation fanatic watched it first without me and told me about everything!! But thanks Noel for entertaining his passion for planes!!
In some places the penalty for spoilers is death. Lol.
I enjoyed flying backwards on BA 777-200ER 😃
Hi Noel. BA flight looked generally good. Pity about the late landing though. Love your vids - keep 'em up.
I always wear the socks they provide over my own. I take my shoes off on long-haul flights as I find them to be uncomfortable. So I pop the socks they provide over my own to create a barrier between my socks and their floor that may not be too clean 😊
Good idea
The socks is dirty
One time the socks they gave me has black things inside
I like the fact you are always on time
It isn't BA's fault that you had to pay £80 to change your train. Connections are at your own risk, and you could have booked a flexible ticket for the train. A train just 3 hours after your scheduled arrival time at LHR, bearing in mind how often flights are delayed in the aviation industry, and given the unpredictability of wait times at custom, immigration, baggage reclaim and then public transport all the way across London is cutting it fine anyway.
Exactly what I said. Delays happen, 3 hours is usually more than enough, especially into T5, but in this case wasn’t.
@@noelphilips Well we all have our own risk profile, but there is no way I'd book a non-flexible rail ticket from a station the other side of London just 3 hours after my planned arrival of my long haul flight.
I agree, just complaining as per usual.. never satisfied with anything and puts 7 adverts in an 18 minute video
Nice trip report!
I just flew back to Heathrow from MCO, we landed, we also came to an abrupt stop to also be told an other aircraft is on our stand. 1 hour 10 min later we made it to the gate.
Love your videos awesome 😀
Hey, Welcome to Canada, hope you enjoyed your visit here
An old slogan springs to mind "No way BA". Ironically, the last time I caught the Heathrow express it cost me £25 from Heathrow to London in what was supposed to be a 15 minute journey. You can tell when you're back in London when everything is delayed and train prices become extortionate!
Always tilt your glass and get the perfect pint
We got Business upgraded back from Jamaica and I agree about the seats, nice to lie flat, but they’re not as “comfortable” as a flat bed can be
That ying yang seat configuration looks awful and totally puts me off flying BA business class - when you compare it to say SingaporeAir there is no comparison. BA has plummeted in every penny pinching direction recently. On short haul they are now WORSE than EasyJet IMO. Great review though!
I get you regarding short haul. Now they've done away with free snacks and drinks it is easyJet but still twice the price! Go figure!
I like that seat configuration. It gives window seats isle access and lots of privacy. If you want more room but less privacy then you don’t get a window seat.
Wow nice vlog british airways is cool nice airlines
You look tired men 16:54 😂😂😂😅😅 Nice video
There was literally a sign on the wall behind the beer tap showing you exactly how to pour a draft.... lmao!!
I recently started to book a return flight in Club World, from ATL to LHR on a 787-9. The ticket price was $7000 for two of us, however BA had the gaul to try and charge me an extra $420 for seat selection !! Needless to say I canceled the booking and re-booked on Delta...
3:15 it literally says how to make a perfect beer in the background 😂
I tried but failed 😂
Keep trying 😂
I wear socks from the amenity kit. I cannot believe you disgarded that issue so quickly.
Agree with you
I Agree with +Senneca in the comments. As my feet are getting cold when I travel as a passenger, I really like a new pair of socks. If I travel economy, I even bring them myself.
Do you ever have any trouble at passport control explaining that you're just hanging out in the airport and then getting on another flight back home?
I'm fairly sure a good chunk of my viewers are passport control guys who I've had a laugh with about my crazy flights and gave them my channel name 😂
@dustysnoop there are some, but not that many. I always look for them. Very rare , in fact don't know of any in the USA. Could be wrong there, happy to be corrected. Have seen them in varied places , from Santiago Chile to Dubai. Istanbul, Tokyo, Seoul , Osaka, Singapore, Hong Kong,
I really thought you were going to make your train...but a fantastic enjoyable video as always.
Cheers mate helpful
Was the reg G-ZBJK??
I flew on that and it was delivered in September
you know the divider is electric - a button at the top is there to raise and lower it!
or on this one by the seat controls
He knows
@12.41 looks like your over my beloved Coventry with ricoh arena in view
I have a BA business class flight from EWR to LHR in June and had high hopes for review of the substance of the BA business class experience. I know you filled up at the club room in Calgary, but it would have been nice to know what sort of standard meal was served on the flight, what the noise levels were, how well the attendants provided service, whether you had direct access to the aisle from your seat and so on. It certainly wasn't BA's fault that the landing was delayed, neither their fault that you booked your train so tightly, not allowing for the possible hour delay in takeoff from Calgary and the hour odd delay on the flight line in LHR before getting to the stand. Sorry, but there's room for improvement.
Went on an A380 trip from lax to lhr very bumpy along the way
Wow. It must've been bad to be turbulent in an A380!
You need to tilt the glass to about 45 degrees to avoid getting loads of head on your drink.
It literally says on the wall as well 😂
The BA club world config is 2 3 2 not 2 2 2 as stated in your vid. BA squeezes one in with the yin yang nonsense
YES!!!! On my flight it was actually 2-4-2! Ridiculous. I felt like a sardine or how they put shoes in a box head to toe. Just awful. Will NEVER fly business with them again.
Interesting looking attachment with your GoPro to your backpack or shoulder area. I would imagine it helps making video.
OI BRUV, when are we getting a full long haul flight video?
You should have asked BA to fly you closer to home since they made you miss your train, or at least give you a major discount on an air ticket home instead of the train. They used to give out a free car transfer for premium tickets, so it wouldn't be that different.
You have to tilt the glass my guy, theres even instructions behind the tap
Noel...as an Australian I will teach you how to pour a beer from the tap if you make it Downunder ! That was not a good pour !! Dreadful seat lay out....I have now idea why BA went with the reverse seats in Business Class...like you it would not bother me that much but if you were a "nervous" flyer I cannot imagine what it would be like...plus without the privacy screen your next door passenger and you are looking at each other...uuughh !! Go those engines!! A reasonable flight but I would expect more on a long haul with this carrier! Love the Heathrow express...yes expensive but well worth it...really enjoyed the review mate...happy travels!!
Well done you managed to get the seat I have always wanted to sit in. As I like to have access to the aile and the privacy this seat offers but every time I try and book it. It’s says it’s a mother and infant seat.
Nice video Noel, personally I would have taken my car and booked parking online when buying my ticket. I’d rather drive than go by public transport and you don’t have that frustrating rush trying to make a connection, if there’s a delay with the plane. Of course that all depends on whether your wife needs the car to run the children about. How are they all? I saw them in the Air France video you did, a little while ago xx.
According to Seatguru the BA788 is in a 2-3-2 config, is this what you meant?
Lewis Loening he flew on the 787
Tobias Finnie The 787-800 is often referred to as the 788. The same with the 787-900, it’s referred to as a 789.
It's not 2-2-2, its 2-3-2
Definitely 232. Not sure how the author could miss this 🤔
I get to ride on it :D When I go back to Hong Kong from London!
Fantastic Video Noel! Just to let you know that this video didn’t appear in my subscription feed...
I found Club World service patchy - since everything is served by tray the crew are running up and down with trays, and dont seem to have time to provide drinks and refills. The seat I found cramped and difficult to turn over to sleep on my side. Very much a poor relation to the likes of Emirates or Singapore..
Hi mate where would you recommend sitting? I'm flying Club World to LAX next month
do u still make full flight vids.
Are the seats facing backwards adjusted for the difference in angle?
It's always a pain trying to plan cheap advanced train tickets with flights. I had flight in February where it was on time so I had a two hour wait at St Pancras. Better than booking an earlier train and the flight being late.
There's always open return tickets, but they're a rip off. My problem was that I only needed a single train journey back from the airport, and single open tickets are just as expensive as open returns. Double rip off. Hence my advanced booking for a discount single on a specific train
It’s in a 2-3-2 and it’s only in the 787 family and the upper deck of the A380 👍
Can you claim from BA for missing your train? Always wondered about that.
hi! no more full flights anymore on your channel???
Noel I recently watched a video with you travelling on the BA airplane that was painted retro BOAC. To celebrate the centenary. My friend was cabin crew and I can’t find it. Can you please help?
Interesting review. Nothing like the old Club Class on 767 of course and yes, I did notice that your seating area was quite scuffed. I wonder if BA reinstalled old seats in these aircraft, and also wonder if they have now been upgraded too...
Nothing was updated unfortunately:(
I cringed when he used his hand to pull up the seat divider the button for me is so satisfying
What normal human can sleep on planes?? I can never sleep on planes.
Pity you didn't sample the food service on this flight, that's one of the most important parts of a flight review
I thought the 787 CW configuration was 2-3-2 rather than 2-2-2?
Luxury Hotel Reviews by Jonathan it is 2-3-2 and on 747 it’s 2-4-2
I miss flying and hope next year we can get out and about again. I hate those seats - if you need to get up from the low flat position you have to try and wiggle down to where the ottoman is and then clamber over someone else's feet to say go to the bathroom, and because of the lack of storage you have to also rearrange all your stuff. Service is/was patchy.
When entering LHR as a business class passenger, are you allowed in the faster TSA screening line? I can't remember what it's called. I was allowed when I flew first class but didn't know about business class. thank you
It's called Fastrack and is open to First,Biz,VIPs gold card holders
@@lizpiper52 Thank you
Who were those two vloggers you met at the terminal door,one of them looked familiar with his receding hair!
I love your t-shirt
Great video! What is the name of the song used in this video at 13:30?
Is there available individual air ventilation?
Would liked to have heard more about the food and service. No dinner, 7 hours of sleep and what looked like breakfast didn’t tell me much about the Business service.
Like most, am not a fan of their seating & not being able to see out of the window. It looks more cramped that BA Business Class. A, i right in thinking anyone can pay to use the club house? Will be interesting to see a comparison of the new Virgin Upper Class & the new BA Business Class when they are operational.
Lesson, do not book tight connections. Better to be safe than sorry.
For those that (unlike me...) use these Airport Lounges (like the ones used by Noel on his trips), are all food & drink, plus amenities like sleeping pods, etc... included? Sorry for my ignorance.
Sam Chui's greatest rival enjoy your videos Noel..... but I enjoy Sam's to!
How did you miss your train from st pancras? It is located within walking distance of both euston and King cross station.
Maybe because he wasn't getting there from Euston or Kings Cross? Maybe because he was getting there from PADDINGTON which is not really within walking distance of St Pancras? Just a thought
And they weren't allowed to park the plane at a stand for OVER AN HOUR after they landed, that might be another reason why he missed the train I would say
How does it feel like to take off the "wrong" direction? In my experience, you get pushed back into your seat, so don't you get thrown out?
It’s strange. You feel your head being pushed forward and struggle to sit back.
Maybe you could do a video for nervous flyers?
Would be super handy if BA paid compensation for your missed train :P
Morgan Noonan why should BA compensate, it’s up to the passenger to allow for delays when booking onward transport.
If ATC have to minimise flight arrivals, due say to an emergency or for safety (e.g. weather) or the stand can't be vacated due to another plane/airline's issues, then there's not much anyone can do. It's hardly the airline's fault.
To be fair I wouldn't expect them to - they did what they had to and got me to LHR within an hour of scheduled time, more than 3 hours they have to pay compensation, delays usually can't be helped and it's just one of those things that I missed my train.
when you pour drinks, tilt the glass
Do people who get a window seat in business class other than that first one you got have to climb over sleeping stranger's feet if they have to get up during the flight?
On this configuration, no one has to do that. However there are some configurations where you have to.
The sooner BA upgrade their hard product in Business the better. This seat is 20+ years old and it shows, rubbish storage and if your in the middle seats you have climb over other passengers legs to get to the aisle when the seat is flat.
Noel how would I fit if I'm 6'7 🤣 I'm only 15 aswell.. . Amazing trip report as usual
