- Reviewed for the first time on TH-cam onboard the 787-10 Dreamliner - the full BA First Class experience is back!
Come with me onboard BA's brand new 787-10 which was delivered to the airline just a few months ago. I'll be trying out their reinstated full service which unfortunately was removed for the last 12 months down to the pandemic.

There’s no denying that BA might not be as “polished” as other air,Ines, but what an elegant and phenomenal experience...The upgraded Suite looks extremely comfortable and service impeccable. Well done BA! 👍
You are 1st classe but you are not good as 1. classe in fact no classe.very vulgaire Edward Arckless

BA has always delivered a great First Class performance in my experience. I have never felt unattended or as if I was in anything but first class.
0:28 love that escalator shot
Dude, you really crack me up. I dunno who you think is watching these vids, but it's certainly not peeps that can afford to travel 1st BA!! The sincere reviewing is great, but it's done in such a way that assumes we all travel like this, our only dilemma being which airline's premium seats to choose! Love your blagging, man - fill your boots, bro and enjoy it if you can! But get real, none of us can 'leave our thoughts in the comments below' because we DON'T HAVE £8K TO FLY FROM SEATTLE TO LONDON!
One of the best things about BA first is that, for some long haul routes, it’s often priced lower than other comparable airlines’ business class. When I briefly lived in Hong Kong, I’d fly BA first between HK and NY because that round trip ticket was often approximately 40% less expensive than Cathay business (although, obv Cathay was a direct flight in between NY and HK)
Remember that direct means one plane, one flight number, one ticket, but not necessarily without stopovers. Nonstop is the real deal
And up to 450% miles and not 200% !
Absolutely. That’s my post-pandemic experience as well on the route I fly most often, London to Cape Town, but I didn’t find it the case pre-pandemic. Pre-pandemic BA used to fly planes with first class cabins to Cape Town but I usually flew Emirates First because Emirates First on that route was almost always a few hundred pounds cheaper than BA First but now, post pandemic - oh boy! BA no longer offer First class direct to CP, Emirates First prices are about 75% higher than pre-pandemic pricing, and BA business class pricing direct to CPT is crazy, often more expensive than Emirates First via Dubai, so now I usually find that my best value option - sticking to the airlines I prefer such as Emirates, Qatar and BA and keeping to a maximum of one connection - is BA First to Johannesburg & a domestic connection onward to CPT. Depending on pricing that can be a good 30% cheaper than competitors’ business class products and about half the price of Emirates First. On the right routes BA First really is very keenly priced.
I agree. Look, BA is not the airline it used to be, however, you do get what you pay for on BA. If you want ultra luxury, fly Emirates or Qatar, but if you want a product that is good enough, with a good enough price, BA is that.
Awesome to see BA first class review... You are such a amazing person to review this brand new product ❤️❤️❤️❤️...1year before travelled with their A350 from Dubai to London in club suite it's such a amazing experience
I’m so glad that your still showing us awesome content even thought were in a pandemic 👏. Love the vlog BA have really done well with there modernising of their first class and Club World classes, They look so much more comfortable and having that individual access is a big improvement. Can’t wait for the next one matey 👍 👏
I wonder though if the increased comfort vs the club suite justifies the price difference. From what I can see the step up from club suite seems minimal but I’m happy to hear other people’s views
@@brutusp.8116 tbh, I think the first class didn’t need any upgrades as I thought that was a pretty sleek and classy looking product. Club world was in need of a facelift as it was very dated but what they have done to the new Club World is a job well done. It’s very classy and what a business class should look like. It would be interesting to see how comfy they are and are they worth the money.
Excellent review, as always. Very informative.
On the -10, the safety video isn’t filmed to include the new club suite, mainly due to the 3 point belt and other safety features so a manual safety demo has to be done, I’m crew on the 350 and -10 with BA and it’s been the norm since it’s been delivered, on other aircraft, it’s to do with the removal of face masks in a rapid decompression :)
Very cool video! I'm one of the Manufacturing Engineers that helped build those suites. It's nice to see the suites in service. Thanks for the video!
Another great honest & consistent review. :-)
Thanks for watching :)
Great video mate. Content is getting better and better and enjoying your adventures. Although someone is sitting behind you in first class when you walk in?!
Happy to see u traveling i cant wait to travel again. Great video love watching ur videos.
Again Great Video, Though it was surprising to see so few people flying on the flight!
I'm screaming you were at SeaTac. Watching you fly over my house was so funny 😁
To be honest, I had sort of written off BA as a premium product but this look very, very good. I'll have to take another look at them soon.
BA does have a lounge in Seattle at S gates now, with a hilariously small first class room which was claustrophobic even with 8 passengers in it. The Concorde Room at Terminal 5 made up for it though. I’m not sure the lounge in Seattle had LPGS champagne either, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because I was blown away by the LPGS onboard.
I miss flying over my beautiful London. Great video again dude
Brilliant as always 👌👏
Great video. The suite looks so comfortable 🙂
Great review. Thanks. Looks like a decent product now
I do want to fly this one day! Great Video as always mate!
I've the BA 787-10 from the ground and it's HUGE!!! Crazy how only 12 seats were booked on that whole plane!
Love the content dude. Cheers from Monterey, a 10 minute drive from Pebble Beach.
Great video as always
Underrated keep up the good work
Great Video as Always
the ba lounge in seattle has always been substandard. they treat it as a departures only lounge and when arriving from heathrow in first class and waiting for a connecting flight they bar entry. it has happened to me twice and to a friend once.
Great video Will! Love your channel. Have you got any plans to try out BA's new First Class on their reconfigured 777-300ers? I'm pretty sure these feature 8 First Suites with closing doors and new window blinds, which is a bit different to First product on the 787-10.
I have been watching at least 3 of these a day your vids are amazing keep it up
Thanks so much Jonathan, so glad you like them :)
Nice video again. I normally fly 1st class in the US domestic flights which are ok but man flying 1st class over seas is my dream.
Super nice seat configuration.
Nice yes yes Can’t wait for your next adventure thank you
really like the outro beat you use, what is it or who is it? great video as always. thanks for giving seatac some love.
This was great! Thanks for this
Thanks so much for watching 😀
We are heading down to JNB next year, from LAX, First is almost $600 more than Club...Round trip...30 hrs each way....Sold...Very sold....
Welcome back
Amazing video and content, keep up with the awesome work. My best regards to you and your channel / business. GOD bless you and your family
Awesome honest video yet again. Can’t wait until you can visit us in Australia! And for me to get back to the UK and Europe 😭
Travelled Qantas first class 3 times now and it’s always been completely full. Off to UK from 🇦🇺 very soon. Your vlogs make me so excited.
It's interesting to see BA reinstate some of their pre-Covid service. I hope the lounges return soon. What is it like travelling to the US as a Brit at the moment?
Such a shame that they don’t offer a lounge option at SEA, great video as usual! ✈️😄
Great video! I have been flying back and fore on BA between SEA and LHR for the past year. 12 passengers is about typical believe it or not. They have been doing the manual video I was told as they have to tell you to remove your personal mask before using the drop down oxygen mask.
6:07 I love the universal feet swing that we do whenever we sit somewhere spacious lmao.
Nice! I flew from Madrid to Boston on Iberia a week ago and the plane wasn't full at all, and I had FOUR seats to myself. Kind of like a budget suite, eh? 😅
flew first to Vegas Mar 20...fantastic...slept for 5 hours+, service was perfect...flying new club suite to Vegas again Jan 22'
Thanks for the pleasant video. Nice indeed
When the club suite was introduced, any aircraft with that switched to manual demos as the videos beforehand didn’t explain the 3 point seatbelt
Love your videos! Recently started watching you instead of SamChui, and can not be more pleased. I love SeaTac! It’s my favorite airport. Also, A,B, C, and D gates are all part of the main terminal, then N gates are the north satellite terminal and S gates are the south satellite terminal (international)
Welcome to our state😂
wow sunset magnificent
hey a bit late(yeah i had testing and stuff) but wow your also the first youtuber too! so thats awesome, will i have a question and thats are most of these flights when you have some bussniess? or just for the fun and travel?(excuse my horrendous grammar)
So here’s my view. Often I’ve found that if I can be flexible on dates and times that BA first can be only £200 or so more than Club World. If that’s the case I (obviously) always book it if only for the Tier points and Avios. I would agree with many that BA first hard product is like an excellent Business class on other carriers, but I really believe where BA excels is on service and catering in First. Most of the time however I fly Club World. I’m not super crazy about the new club suite. I think the door is a bit of a gimmick and I feel the whole ‘suite’ is a little claustrophobic. I think BA got a huge bashing for the previous 8 across Ying Yang design but apart from appalling storage space I always liked the open feeling and if you knew which seat to book you could have a window seat with direct aisle access. Not tried the new 777-300 First cabin yet but seems to be just with “added door”.
OMG...no NASA SHIRT?! :) Love your channel! Thank you for a great content!
Love every single vid! Thank you for giving us these amazing content and reviews. Love Seattle! 9 hours from Seattle to the UK is about the same flight time as Beijing to Seattle which is 9.5 hours. Wow that is a very empty flight. The last relatively empty international flight I took was from Beijing to IAD three years ago and there was only 28 people on the whole flight,
Hey Will, Cabin crew here. Manual demo are done on all aircrafts with the new club suite have 3 point seat belt which isn’t included in the video. Also because of COVID we have to tell passengers to take off their mask before putting on their oxygen mask.
Also if you can try getting on the new 777 300 the first class now have doors as well.
Keep up the content 👌🏽
Ru gay?
Cool video - I'm in London and wasn't sure if we were even able to travel and be allowed entrance into the USA currently - is this still the case? I was hoping to travel to Seattle in the coming months but wasn't sure if it would even be possible
From memory, the crew has to do 1 manual demo a month per regs, with the lack of flying right now, this may be the only chance they get.
I think all ba flights at the moment are doing manual demos as they don’t have “you need to remove your face masks” if the pressure drops and the oxygen mask release
The reason for the manual safety demo is the new Club Suite. They just never got round to film a new separate video. Therefore all of the aircrafts which are fitted with the new business class suites have manual safety demonstration even before Covid. Now, there’s also a new bit to remove your mask before you fit your oxygen mask in case of a decompression and that is for all aircrafts at the moment.
Also, this isn’t a new First class cabin. It’s the business/Club World cabin that’s new on the 787-10 which was initially introduced on the A350s. This First cabin has been flying around for years on the 789s.
BA does now have a lounge in Seattle, used it back in July on the way to London.
Thanks for providing this video, it is my first. As another commented BA’s first is not as posh as Emirates or some of the others but it is decent.
I must say BA's First on the 787 & A380 are both really nice. The A380 is the winner. As for the 777...can take it or leave it.
Many thanks. You have a new follower 👍👊😁🥂
Club suites for life!
Awesome video!
Thanks Thomas :)
5:45 that Sam Chui reference 😂
Sam chui is an aviation SHILL
Personally, I’m a fan of both and wish Trek Trendy wouldn’t lower himself to such bullshit. Be the bigger man and just concentrate on YOU. Like Sam does-I’ve never seen him once lower himself to childish name calling and innuendo. Please realize that some of us are fans of both of you. Creating division only makes people choose one…and I can almost guarantee it wont you be you, if so. Cheers!
I would imagine they stopped relying on the safety video and opted for manual demonstrations because Covid is a changing situation and they may have had to change certain instructions at short notice
First,didn’t know BA had A new first class,Love from India 🇮🇳!😊
Thats because it's not!
They don't... .
i liked the look of B.A. first class, and those meals looks delish. can you keep the PJ`s or do you have to leave them behind to be cleaned and repacked?
Good one!! You should do a head to head on London to Singapore direct. First Class SQ and BA. Singapore Airlines should win on product so then it's all down to price and what discount would make you go BA, or not. Maybe not relevant for a solo passenger but for two or more price could be the game changer.
Scheduled to fly the 787-10 first class in early Winter LHR-ATL. The seat map shows only one open seat so maybe things are looking up.
Glad you flew in First Class on BA.
You had that experience with the very very low passenger level flying on this flight. When I flew the first week after 9/11, I was flying Chicago to Los Angeles on 747-400s. So, our flight that first had about 2 people in First, about 10 people downstairs Business, 2 people upstairs Business, and about 21 it 22 people in Economy. So, my Flight Attendant staff if 14 and me had a lot of places to sit down and take a break during our first flight. During that month after 9/11, our wide body flights were not full at all. So, yes, I, a former Purser Flight Attendant from United from that experience knows how it is to fly with almost no one on the wide body 747s and 777s.
Nice look at the 787-10 F product, was this the new First Suite with the door?
are the showers in Seattle Centurion still closed? how about their food selection and beers?
so consider yourself safe & blessed
BA First is certainly not the best out there but the fact that the cabin is smaller than Club, the food is better, you get the Concorde room at LHR and more Avios plus more tier points, it’s my class of choice on BA.
Awesome flight! How nice! Could you kindly please advise song name at the end of this vlog? Your feedback is much appreciated!
Nice review! I love it! One day I will try BA’s first class. Btw, and I don’t mean to ruin it or anything, but BA recently got a new B777-300ER with a new (modified) version of this suite with sliding doors. If you get a chance to review it, and if you can, can it a review and a comparison between the two (with and without a door), please? Just to see how they feel and if they feel differently. I know is a lot, but I curious about it. And project for another video. Other than that, great job and keep it going my friend! 😊👍🏼
I am flying JER-LHR-ORD-LAS, then LAS-HOU-LHR-JER in August 2023, with BA, in First. It cost less than £3,000, including hotel. I picked it up in the January sales. In the last week off the sale, they took another £100 off the pricing. There was only £1,000 difference in flying in economy, versus First. I thought that was a bargain.
BA does have a sale on right now (March 2023), not sure how long for, but if you book hotel, or car, with your flight, you can get some good deals.
Manual demonstrations are performed on BA at the moment as the videos don’t cover safety scenarios using face coverings.
I think you should include the second meal serive, but overall great video. The BA seat looks like it was designed by Audi
I would like to see you review the places that you travel to.
I really don’t get the perk of having a door to close off your “suite”. You are already stuck in a tube at 35.000 ft, why close down your space even more? I prefer the open, yet sufficiently private seat.
Where do you get info on the exact planes you are flying? Ps live your videos and also, I would try caviar the first moment I could. Bucket list :)
I think you could have used the Alaska airlines lounge?
Trek I have a question so is the club suit better than first as in hard product because the club suit looks like it has a door and the first class suit doesn’t look like it has a door
So good
A/B/C/D Main Terminal. S/N = South and North Satellites
2:57 or so, it could be due to the fact that the letter of the gates doesn’t sound similar. Kinda like B and E. Less confusion if someone is having to rely on hearing
Have been on British air ways first class it was really amazing experience and business class as well my dad it gold for Life card sicen he has traveled a lot with British airways
N & S are for "North" and "South", as these are satellite terminals that are detached from the main terminal.
I think that the business class is the best option here. A QSuite seems to feel more like First Class than this one.
Is first class worth the additional cost ? We flew Club World, Business Class to London from Canada the last time we travelled to Europe.
I would have thought all 12 pax could have been out together in first class - the suites are there!
The issue is if you’d paid £5k (not that I paid this) for a ticket and other pax paid £400 would you feel ok with that?
They likely did a manual demo because the crew will be required to do one every so often to maintain currency on type.
watching from Saint Lucia
If there’s that few people on board, can the attendants say “screw it” and just move everyone to first?
I once was on a flight with even fewer people, years back sat in Etihad economy. We asked this question but the response was a hard no sadly. I think if there are any other paying passengers in there it’s not allowed
@@Trektrendy I was on a KU flight many years ago on a 742, there were a total of 6 passengers going LHR-JFK, sadly there was one paying customer in first, so the crew would "only" move us up to business.
@Trek Trendy that’s a bummer, but good to know. Thanks for the reply and the informative video!
It depends on weight
That would make more work for themselves
Good video, how much was the flight? Thanks
I think the business class seat would be almost as comfortable as the first class seat. I'll easily go for the business class seat.
Great content.....although I got a rapid test a few months ago and woke up with a 102 fever the day after only to be diagnosed with Covid.
Hello. You made comment about the s and n gates at SeaTac. Let me help you and your opinion....s means south terminal and n means north. The a,b, and c is in the main terminal.
I expect that for so few people on the flight it was easier to do a close up almost private safety explanation.
