I recently retired from being a flight attendant and I flew on the 747 plane ✈️ for 25 years it was such a iconic plane
Going up the stairs on the 747 is like stairway to heaven!
14:17 the beautiful sound of those rolls Royce engines
Arizona sunsets are the best
God I love 747 such a beautiful plane
My first flight on a 747 was in 1971, from Chicago to LA. The passenger compartment of the 747 was configured very differently from today's plane. It was an American Airlines flight and the upper deck was a cocktail lounge with a sofa and seats. The main rear passenger compartment was a bar area; an actual bar, bar seats, plus lounge seats, all secured and you won't believe it, a concert grand piano secured to the deck and with a lounge-type piano player. Seriously.
Fantastic Flying Arizona to Heathrow
England looks so beautiful lush and green simply beautiful.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
From the sunny desert to the wet land of the UK..done this flight a few times....love the old 747-400...now replaced with a 777
I live in AZ and have always wanted to take this flight. Now I feel like I have! Great video!!!!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get the opportunity to experience it for yourself
I hope you have, as the Jumbo isn't doing this route anymore as of this month =( 787-9 taking the 747s place. I'm going to miss seeing this big birds fly over Tempe Town Lake and past the mill.
Me too
@@ZuhairFarouk How do you do it?
Wow! My last 747 flight was in 2018 I really miss the 747, what an iconic aircraft
Mine was 1987 and it was also my last. Went from NYC JFK to London Hethrow.
I love ba moments🌳🌧🐝
RIP- I miss this airplane, especially British Airways. Never got to fly on one :(
At the beginning, I used to work on Pinnacle Peak Rd. I worked at that prison on the right as you are going South.
Perfect summary of why I moved to AZ from UK. Leave the beautiful sunshine of AZ and arrive in torrential rain and grey skies!
I miss this...flown to Sky Harbor on 289 over 15 times and each time is like the first. Last time was in 2010 and hopefully again this year. Those BA 744s are ageing gracefully.
Phoenix328 still they are the best
Beautiful
Hello! Great video (as always). I really love your videos. Thank you. "Um abraço" from Brazil. Bye! 👏👏😉
Wow! This video is nice. I like Queen of the skies. They look cool. Thank you for posting it.
I also loved how it rained when you landed!
BA do the longest pre-flight announcements describing the weather and/or aspects of the flight....love it!
Lovely.. seats facing to the rear.. Must be a lotta fun on takeoff..
lvsluggo007 Actually its much safer. When we put airline seats on transports, they’re always reversed.
Feet at 12:29 *rolls eyes*
Not classy at all
Sweet video! I work by Sky Harbor and love seeing that BA 74 coming in for landing! Always wondered what it's like to fly on it to London and now I know!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed. It is a beautiful site watching the 747 arrive into Sky Harbor. I hope you have the opportunity to experience it yourself soon
Zuhair Farouk I think I will next year. Look forward to more videos!
The arrival feels so English with the rain and the "good afternoon" 🇬🇧
I literally felt depressed when I came back from Boston to the uk in may 2019 ( it was very sunny)
Beautiful! Thanks for the upload.
Loved the video. Great to experience the flight from start to finish... Thanks for sharing !
Thank you very much!!
Super video. I really want to travel again 🙏🙏👍👍
incredible video!!!! excellent airplane the 747, for me the best!!!!
Thank you very much!
OMG what an incredible flight the 747s are truly one of the best aircraft ever sad that some of them are gone but they are the best keep your vids coming oh by the way why was the paramedics called on board see you soon
When I was at Phoenix I had the privilege of seeing a Boeing 747 with the royal crown on it.👍🛫😮 omfg I remember seeing your plane at the airport. Lol 😵
Boeing The Great I see the sexy beast EVERY SINGLE DAY! I live in PHX. Not the most interesting flyover tbh. Jk. Long may the queen of the skies live.
rolls Royce rocking it!
Would feel so relieved to land after a near ten hour flight!
I'm sure premium, business and first are lovely. I just took this flight last week and economy is not so good. On return trip, seat 50A that I was in had no access to IFE, the headphone socket was broken. The screens are also very old and tiny. I really wanted to enjoy this flight being from the UK I wanted to be able to praise BA but it seems they're flying an old plane and not investing in upgrading it to modern standards. That said, cabin crew were lovely and helpful. I don't want to see the end of 747s but please update the facilities if you're going to continue to use them.
You just took me to London. I really want to go now and on this flight! Thank You...
thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it and hope you get the opportunity to experience it for yourself! More to come very soon
Yeah, It's a cool flight. Super exciting to fly a 747 out of a place where you only see 737's, A320's, regional jets, and occasional 757's, 767's, and A330's (aka Sky Harbor)
Great video, thanks!
Excellent as always buddy. Fantastic report.
Thank you very much! More to come soon
came up as a suggestion.....nice memories, this was our last flight overall and on a 747, summer 2019 and so glad we went upstairs rather than using our miles to upgrade to First....something now very unique! and the taxi to the camelback is very special!
The 747 will be missed on this route. Thanks for watching!
I work at sky harbor, its cool seeing the BA 777s come in. sadly i started working there after these 747s retired on this route :(
Another awesome video, really enjoyed it. I always thought this was an interesting route, especially back when it was US Airways' Star Alliance hub. Looks like you had a good flight, the food doesn't look all too bad. Not a big fan of that seat though, looking straight at your neighbor the whole time until you can use your screen.
Thanks again
Brendan
Thank you Brendan for watching and commenting. This is the only direct flight to Europe from Arizona so it is always very busy. You can raise the privacy divider form the moment you sit on your seat. It is only during the safety video where you have to have it down which is only a couple or so minutes. There is still plenty of room for improvement in this product, there will be a brand new Club World cabin in 2019 where all seats will have direct aisle access. I personally want more personal space and storage areas when side compartments are not available such as on the 777/787/main deck Club World cabins.
Thanks for the review, I’ve always wondered what it’s like to fly on a quad jet. Though I get the sense it’s not much different than flying the 777-300ER.
The seating arrangement does not seem to provide much privacy given that you have another passenger opposite you whose face you see. This means you can perfectly well see him sleep, snore, pick his nose or yawn during such a long flight. Then again, he can also not only hear you burp, and if he keeps his eyes open, he can actually see you do so!
Thanks another excellent video please keep up the great work !!!!!!
thank you very much! Much more to come!
I had to lookup the date, around 5:54 surprised to see a crj still in the old American Eagle livery
planedudea380 I love the U.S Airways livery. I grew up on that.
It's a shame the take off was quite blurry. Took this flight again in March and am always amazed at how close the runway is after pushback...it's like you just leave the terminal and you are up.
Loved the Video Thank you
Thank you for watching!
I would have tried the southwest corn chowder at PHX lounge just out of curiosity. Just sayin', Lol. Nice video. Thanks for posting
I shall try it net time if still available Thanks for watching!
I've seen the plane in Sky Harbor landing right before my plane to Portland. Even though i only saw it for a few seconds i am glad i did for British Airways will be retiring their fleet.
Flagstaff Rail Fan 55 nooooooooooooooooo! I fly them next year.
Look how sunny it is in England...
Jordan Lucky --My name is Andrew Pernia, I have been to London England for 3 years ago The place is really awesome and beautiful 😀✈🇬🇧
Jordan Lucky 😂
If you are an English native speaker your English is bad.
I think you wanted to say that you went to London 3 years ago.
It's sad that a non English speaker has to correct you.
American is going to start operating this route in 2019 using 777s.
7:47 go on, go on, visit the cockpit..........noooooooooo
艦Joel 747
u cannot visit the cockpit because there is a particular reason
@@canadiangoose4438 In the air, but on the ground just ask the cabin crew and you should be fine to visit
SpeedyBirds of course, buy nothing's topping you from going to the cockpit once you've landed and are parked up at the gate. And I've been up before take off before so I guess it all depends on your crew.
Did this route a while back. LHR/PHX first class; PHX/LHR upstairs. Both were fantastic; cannot be faulted. Lounge at Sky Harbor--dreadful.
the movie looks cool
Wish I could've been in Club World when I flew that route.
It's very difficult for me to sleep sitting up.
25:20 that is what we call buttering the bread
Yaaaaaaaaaay PHX is my place. I’m flying this trip next year. Tips anyone?
In case of an emergency, don't panic
I took that flight a few years ago. The aircraft was definitely showing its age. Good service however.
Flying to Vancouver next year with BA, 747 Club World. Seems like the flight will have the older business interior aswell. Then i'll be going to toronoto on the brand new A350 Club world. It'll be nice to see the difference!
Scorpian472 I like the older club world in BA 747. Nothing beats the upper deck
@@jayd1426 Yeah I'm doing upper desk. It'll be my first time on business. It'll be a nice experience
Phoenix Sky Harbour and London Heathrow is Busiest Airport 2019
Hi Zuhair! Loving the videos! Keep it up! (^o^)/
Thank you very much!
0:20 I live like 6 minutes away from there!
Awesome
Thank you
Wow loads of room on the upper deck. I m looking forward to my return flight from Chicago 😂😂😂😂
Ricardo sam The 747s on the Chicago route have the upgraded interior with larger IFE screens and mood lighting. You’ll also have the upgraded Club World dining experience with improved catering and improved bedding. Enjoy your flight!
It’s my first time flying on 747 and also first time flying with BA
22:20 Amazing View of Atlantic Ocean
My stepdad flies the American Eagle regionals you saw. He says they suck.
17:00 Naughty treats!😂
I wouldn't mind going from the state's to England but flying over that huge atlantic Ocean would bother me.
The air bridges in Phoenix look like FSX!
MikuMagic6000 they look fascinating when you land tbh
⭐️
you cant beat a BA jumbo - our sky kings
Gimme Shelter queens. A380 is the king, but that plane is an airbus, so not much said there.
747 I think is usually referred as the queen as the sky’s but u know same ting
Yeah the Jumbos cool, but have you tried a 787?
@@strudel7776 he has tried a 787.
Boeing 737 MAX A380 ain’t no king. That ugly animal looking plane don’t deserve no royal title
Enjoy your flight on British Airways everyone 😀✈🇬🇧
i was in phoenix earlier this year
I think i'd rather fly downstairs or in economy class! Those seats are horrible! Can't see what's going on around you. Great video By the way :)
The "word" is that Condor is starting Phoenix to Frankfurt non-stop service in 2018
Aye. I'm a Sky Harbor Ops employee.
Awesome video! Were there any shower rooms in the lounge?
Thank you very much! No showers, the lounge was very basic. Only one desktop computer to do any work
Full power takeoff
I certainly hope that person with his feet up, was spoken to. If I was the attendant, I'd of had him removed from the flight.
We were flying back from London in March and I notice something coming into our space from behind us. It was a pair of feet and the guy was going to plant them between me and my husband on our center console. I turned around to look him directly in the eye and said please remove your feet NOW! He did but I was shocked anyone would even try that.
That poor little mint leaf had a hard life.
Nice video, quite an old plane though
A lot of airliners still fly this model, 747-400, though.
Ray Brax young model
Ray Brax who cares about age? It’s still safe and reliable
The food looks miserable.. great video though.
What camera did you use zuhair?
When British Airways started their direct flights from and to London/Phoenix, they were using the Boeing 777, and they didn't go to Heathrow, their destination was London/Gatwick, I believe this was some time around 1996 or 1997. I'm not sure when they started using the 747-400 to and from London/Heathrow.
MagnumMike44 BA actually flew DC10s from LGW to PHX with the first flight being June 1st 1996 I believe. I'm not sure when BA switched to 744s from Heathrow, but they've never used 777s on this route.
Phoenix863 - I may have to stand corrected on my previous statement, they may have had a 777 on random flights back in the 1990s, I worked with somebody from Great Britain who flew on a 777 from Sky Harbor to London Gatwick in 1998, and I thought I saw a video a while back on TH-cam that had a British Airways 777 getting the water cannon salute at Sky Harbor. I also remember I started seeing the BA 747 around 1999..
I remember they used DC-10s
One of the very few wide bodies we get out in Phoenix
interesant
I live in Phoenix but I’ll be taking another carrier if I go to London. Beautiful bird but not impressed with the service and interior at all, shows it’s age. I’ve looked and this service isn’t cheap by a long shot.
It's funny because I need to go to phoenix :D
S.B GAMERS 😂
S.B GAMERS beautiful place Honestly. Even with the idiots, really sweet.
How they allowed you to shoot that video when going in to the plane? I was told to stop the shooting immediately as I entered the plane with camera rolling. The reason was that it is not allowed to film other people in aeroplane.
Was the flight pretty full? I would imagine now many people fly out of phx to London
YourFavorite3Some Flight was completely full. During summer, BA had two daily 747’s operating the PHX route due to demand
Did this flight take place in 2016? G-BNLV has been WFU and stored since last year. It is waiting to be scrapped.
Yes this flight was in 2016.Noticed I had '17' in the description which I have now changed
No one is gonna care but I was the 1K like :3
Can someone tell me what is the website used to create flight route at the beginning of video?
Very nice video. Did you have to pay $35 to get into the first class lounge?
I did not as I am a Gold member with British Airways so lounge access was free
I miss Arizona sunsets. Do you think AA will start flights to London from Phoenix
Jeff d'Hedouville Yeah, there's talk about A330 service from PHX-LHR in the near future.
I doubt it
Jeff d'Hedouville I hope not
Ba should fly from East Midlands
Jeff d'Hedouville They now officially have flights from PHX - LHR with the 772
What do you do to travel so much?
Very long flight?
18:52 Yooo it's star wars
You took off runway 26 and NOT Runway 8 in Phoenix.
Bad thing about this flight is that it arrives at LHR T3, and it takes long time to get to T5 from there
It is a bit of an inconvenience but you get an air-side bus ride to T5 which takes 5 minutes so it's not bad.
Yeah, so annoying having to switch terminals. Its not that bad though, you get a nice backstage tour of the airport.
I'm with aer lingus
Why arrival at T3 rather than T5?
BA operates some flights from T3 including Miami, Johannesburg, Accra, Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc and other short haul routes. Maybe due to lack of available gates at T5
14:12 takeoff
