British Airways Premium Economy Review: Worth The Upgrade? Beijing to London Heathrow

Today I'm taking the 13 hour flight from Beijing Daxing to London Heathrow in British Airways Boeing 777-200 Premium Economy. The plane was old but the cabin and service were great.

Pearl Lounge Review at Abu Dhabi's BRAND NEW Terminal A
Personally I've never had a bad experience on Ryanair. If you conform to their terms and conditions they get you from A to B for a great price.
You realise that air vents come with the aircraft all airlines have them. Also, what do you mean seat back pockets are a waste of space?! Where else are you going to put a newspaper of book?
Actually plenty of modern airliners don’t have air vents these days, pretty common on the 787. Also, it seems you can’t detect light sarcasm
They are like McDonalds: cheap price, cheap quality, cheap experience. If you want more, then pay more.
BRO MY NEAREST AIRPORT IS THIS ONE
Worse airline ever! Will never fly with them again after they treated me like cattle, lost my luggage and then offered a pittance for compensation. I advise everyone to use another airline at all costs!!! Ryanair sucks 👎
Going back a while here, but in 2011 I flew Air Southwest from Newquay to Newcastle and that flight was operated by Eastern Airways. I think the plane had ASW livery though. Nice flight too.
Do they accept Visa/Mastercard/AMEX at the airport?
Yes you can (definitely Visa & Mastercard, though I think less places accept Amex)
Crying
Computer graphics are insane
Hi, do we need physical printouts of boarding pass/ tickets while entering airport for domestic flights or we can show it on our phones only
No need for physical copies. I’m pretty sure you can use your phone. We just went to the checkin desk and got them to print our boarding passes
Was the buffet breakfast good?
The buffet was very limited (mostly just pastries and a full English). The main was a La crate and had a lot of good stuff
Luxurious 😮 how does it feel to breathe the same air as Bill clinton
A dubious privilege indeed
Shanghai Maglev tops out at about 300km an hour. I rode it this past summer and it seems like they never updated the website.
Yep, I was disappointed when I went on it and it only hit 300kph
T2 one very nice
Nice video. Thanks. Would have been good the recline. Was it ok when the passenger in front of you reclined? I always have this paranoia that I might bother the passenger behind…
Unfortunately if the person in front reclines it does make you feel quite trapped
Great review mate
Really enjoyable and detailed video. Yes it's a shame about BA axing Beijing but so is LH (from FRA but not from MUC) along with Poland's LOT. Then there's VS and SAS axing Shanghai. Both KL and LH have complained to the EC about the marketing advantage enjoyed by the mainland Chinese carriers and their shorter flight schedules.
Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. Yes these mainland Chinese airlines are capturing market share from rivals as their fares are inexpensive and they overfly Russia (unlike most other carriers because of the Ukraine conflict) but they are heavily subsudised by the State. By the way the European carriers have slimmed their China networks over recent months because their operating costs are higher thanks to longer flight routes.
What's the name of the best British movie ever made you watched, I want to watch it too, thank you❤
Hot Fuzz. (Also check out Shaun of the Dead if you enjoy it)
@@freddiesflightreviews thanks🙏😊
@@freddiesflightreviews You have great taste in movies!
Wow service seems pretty good! Does that mean nature is healing and BA doesn’t suck that bad? 😮
BA still suck a little bit. But I’d say they’re on a positive upward trend.
I've seen disposable wooden cutlery also, on China Eastern out of Gatwick to Shanghai, I quite like it & anything that reduces use of plastics.
Thanks for this video! How long was youe layover? I haven't been to Daxing Airport so I'm not sure how much time I should allocate
On the way there was had a 2h20m layover, way back was 3h. Which was plenty of time
Looks like an excellent hotel, a really nicely furnished room, stunning and spacious bathroom and fantastic views. Congratulations on your honeymoon- lovely to see that the hotel gave you gifts to help you celebrate together.
This year i had a Ryanair Free year
Wow beautiful cake you got. Someone told me whenever it’s her birthday, for that entire month she would tell all the places she went to that it was her birthday to get freebies
You can order food from many restaurants along the route and it will be delivered to your carriages
Yeah I heard that is possible too. Though I feel it’s quite tricky to do if you don’t speak Chinese. We weren’t brave enough to attempt it.
The CR450 Fuxing series with a running speed of 400km/h will roll off the production line before the end of this year, but it is not known when it will begin formal commercial operation.
Social credit score is a rumor that is widely spread outside of China, but people in China don't know anything about it. Stop spreading this ridiculous rumor.
Why is Malaysia 🇲🇾 airlines better then Singapore 🇸🇬 airlines
They have a great nasi lamak
I don't think so. Without European technology Chinese high-speed train wouldn't come this far.
And yet Europeans with the same technology have done nowhere near as much with it
@@freddiesflightreviews I don't think so
@@homemadetrips8297that not true they're surpassing European accept it
@@Tjomas972 How big of a market China? They are billion of people there. Do Europeans want a market share there? I think they do
😂😂😂 like it or not... without China, there would be no expert inventors in the modern era before they invaded China; Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, English... Name the discoveries of Western nations before the 1200s (just one) ? the answer is 0... the Mongols got gunpowder after invading China in the 1200s and up to the 1300s, and England got gunpowder when the Mongols tried to invade Europe
China's most impressive development in recent years is its infrastructure network, the high speed train connects four corners of China and is fast, clean and efficient, great for travelers from both inside and outside the country!
The infrastructure in general in China is just mind blowing. Even if a lot of it is unused and empty.
How to get travel visa in china?
Depends what country you’re from. I’m from the UK so I had to fill in a form online then visit the Chinese Visa Centre in London to apply for it. Cost about £130 for a 2 year visa if I remember correctly
I rode on it in September. As we approached Beijing I got up and took my bags, I didn't realise the train was still moving and we had 10 mins to go. It was that smooth! I thought we had stopped!!
When you free airport lounge access I suppose it’s not that bad 😅
What you've heard on the train is a bit like the airline blacklist. For example, if someone smoked on the train, activated the automatic speed reduction, and caused the delay (and probably further chaos for the whole system), they will probably get restricted from taking the train for a certain period according to the regulations, and that’s all.
Aha, not as scary as I thought then
Do you get priority boarding at the ticket check gate if you are first class?
I don’t think so… but disabled/old/pregnant people do
@@freddiesflightreviews disabled/old/pregnant people/senior citizens get right of way. At least at ticket checking area. But if there are army and/or firefighters, they get the first right of way.
@@freddiesflightreviews In China's high-speed rail system, business class is the best, better than first class. If you buy a business class ticket, you will have a dedicated lounge and a staff to guide you on the train.
About as rare as a Qantas 737 taking off from Sydney
Which number did you call to manage to reserve seats for your flights? We also booked flights on Shenzhen Airlines LHR -> SZN but can't view our booking online. Tried calling Air China as you advised in your video but they told me they couldn't assist us and that we need to contact Shenzhen Airlines directly.
I can’t remember the exact number but it was definitely the Air China UK office and they were able to help. Maybe if you try again you’ll get a more competent person to help.
Great video, mate. Thanks for posting. I was just looking for flights to Hong Kong from Manchester and couldn’t believe the cheap prices
There’s a catch that people need to realise when they fly with Chinese Airlines from Europe to Asia and vice versa. You will be flying over Russia, which is currently being sanctioned for its war in Ukraine. In 2021, a Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius was overflying Belarus when Belarusian ATC ordered the aircraft to land in Minsk over an alleged bomb threat on board. Once the plane landed, police rapidly boarded the plane to apprehend one of the passengers; Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend, Sofia. The above named individuals had been outspoken critics of the Belarusian government, which has maintained close working ties with Russia throughout the war in Ukraine. If you have been extremely vocal against Russia for its political actions, it is highly advisable that you do not use a Chinese airline to fly from Europe to Asia, due to the very possible nature of arbitrary arrest over Russian airspace. Also consider that China has been playing a major role in assisting Russian war efforts thus far and remains one of Putin’s best allies.
Have they repaired the train to the satellite terminal in KLIA airport in the meantime? It's been broken for years and years...
As of a few months ago I'm pretty sure it's still out of service.
this flight is ceair‘s domestic hub to hub route so all is the best stander. now ceair's c919 is serving on shanghai to xian,but it based at sha(shanghai hongqiao) airport.
Flying short-haul in asia is a lot better than flying short haul in north america or europe
their c919 is way better than 320n
Definitely want to try it the next time I visit China
Great onboard experience. Looks comfortable and you certainly won't go hungry or thirsty on China Eastern. Shanghai Airport's vast glass windows look amazing for plane spotting! Out of interest, why do you find the flight to Karamy a random route? Surely this flight connects Karamay with the international hubs that are Xi'an and Shanghai. I imagine it's similar to UK domestic flights- after all Aberdeen has a population of 225k and Newcastle's population is 310k and they both have numerous daily flights to Amsterdam and Heathrow.
That’s true, I suppose by connecting Xi’an and Shanghai to Karamay on the same route they’re killing two birds with one stone, no need to operate two separate routes. I’d just never heard of the place and its so far away. Need to brush up on my Chinese geography.
Can I just say that it might differ since the crew could be different and I feel like your just being bias of labelling the 787-9 to hong kong from london is just bad(no offence)
Well, I would say British Airways 787-9 is bad specifically compared to most of their other planes. The cabin is outdated with small screens. Compared to the newer A350s and older but retrofitted 777s it’s just bad.
Not a bad plane. Not sure about the food though!
Are you saying you wouldn’t like crab 🦀 roe flavour sunflower seeds? 😮
3:37 Spring Airlines, China‘s first, largest and most successful LCC, based at Shanghai and uses A320 series only. That plane still has the old livery. I thought you'd be flying the C919 from Shanghai Hongqiao to Xi'An, but it turns out the flight you're on offers similar catering standard to the C919.
I wanted to try the C919, sadly on the day I travelled the timing wasn’t very good so went for the A320neo
Thats more than 31' pitch for sure. more like 32 or 33
That’s what I thought too, I just couldn’t find anything else online besides that 31” figure
@@freddiesflightreviews very good. Nice video. The three Chinese airlines seem to be getting more competitive which si good
