Nothing beats drone footage of the Maldives - it's just glorious. 😊😊😊
I flew British Airways once, but it was back in the days when it was called BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). It was when Brits were still counting their money by twelves, not tens. The UK entered the modern age by going decimal in 1971. I don't remember much about the service other than the fact it was very friendly. Lord, I'm really showing my age here.
Don´t worry James, I flew British European Airways (BEA) in 1972 from Berlin to London with a Comet 4B. I do not remember very much of this flight. My favorite plane is the A380 in business of Qatar Airways.
I bet people still dressed up to fly then too?..... 🤔
@@ashotofmercury They certainly didn't take their shoes off and then put their feet on top of the seat in front of them. I dread the idea of ever flying steerage, excuse me, economy class again.
@@rudigerortmann7192 One small question: How did you know my first name was James?
@@jhendin 😂😅🤣
25:54 omg that view and the music just took me so off guard emotionally. What a paradise! When that first island/lagoon comes into view, wow!
Looks like BA has stepped up their game a bit.....very nice. My only issue with BA in the past had been the crew service. I'd like to check out this new Business Class.
The aerial shots of the Maldives were otherworldly. And you selected just the right music to pair it to!
Thx
The first plane I flew on as a child was a 747 (back when they were new). To this day that airframe has a special place in my heart.
Maldives is such a magical place...just awesome hotels and views...
Loving the airplane footage always. The suspense is simply killing me. I can never get enough of your Maldives content!!! Fly Safe
Love it. A350 for me these days but I still love the feeling of being upstairs on a 747
Great stuff as always, LTE!
I had opportunity to fly the updated Club Suite last year and was pleasantly surprised! At least imo, it felt like a nice improvement over the previous product.
Finally! And after all these years and for only the second time, you chose the meal I would have chosen. Brilliant report as always.
Perfect flight . Beautiful Aircraft ,top pilots.
This is a significant upgrade. One of my main issues with BA was the design of their business class where you had to climb over people if you wanted to get out of your window seat. This is more like the business class on Qatar airlines. Finally BA looks like they have made an effort to compete with the main carriers. I might be prepared to fly with them again as I usually avoid travelling with BA, unless I can't avoid it. As usual, another excellent report. I love the Maldives so I am looking forward to your next few reviews. 👍
Qatar is a bad example imo, considering they have like 5 different business class seats
@@HelloOnepiece An oversight on my part. I should have been more specific and mentioned their Q seats.
I avoided BA as much as possible for many years (in premium cabins), but now they are reconfiguring some routes with much better business class I'm keen to fly with them again (and have done) as part of OneWorld and being based in UK.
I love traveling with you! I just found your channel and can’t wait to explore each adventure through you.. you do an excellent job of recording, thank you!
When New Zealand finally falls, we're fleeing to the Maldives. Paradise!
Sorry to burst your bubble but the maldives will be submerged in a few years due to rising water.
Fabulous video, thx for sharing.
Always a pleasure.
Always giving your subscribers the opportunity to make a great choice for traveling 🎉🎉. Thank you
I’m digging this new BC, love that it has a sliding door for total privacy
Very cosy with the little doors 👏🤩
Love that sweep all around the plane at the end. Great work.
Looking into going to maldives after Christmas 2023.i can't wait to experience those views.good to see BA upping there game with people like emmerits snapping at there heels they needed to.another fabulous video.
😊
Love British Airways 😇
I’ve taken 2 round trips on BA. Great experience both times. Loved the Club World, as well.
Another new, detailed description of the flight. Keep up the good work!❤
Another great video detailing the product offered by BA. Certainly looking forward to the upcoming videos of the resorts you’ve named. What a magical place to visit. The views are stunning to say the least.
Great flight
have flown BA since 1976 1st flight was a BAC trident edinburgh to london heathrow and the latest one was a b 777 to tampa florida last year,
have always felt safe with british airways this new business class seats really have stepped up in my opinion must keep up with the middle east airlines like emirates which are fantastic
The sky is art! ❤
Happy Saturday! Beautiful video of the flight. I was so entranced when the plane took off the atmosphere in my headset made me feel almost as if I was there and my anxiety started! how funny but that is just a testament to how amazing your videos area. I would love to fly BA someday and definitely to the Maldives! More things to dream about. Every Saturday you bring the world to me in a way that I just truly appreciate and thank you for what you do!
Magic ..thank you
Fantastic trip report! 👏👏👏
The Maldives are so beautiful. This makes me want to go back. Looking forward to your resort videos
Awesome!!!
Looking forward to try ‘em out after many many years of disappointment!
Anyway… let’s see… 👍🏻👊🤗
Fabulous
Green dress in the lounge looking SUPER fly.
Simp
What a beautiful detailed video as always. I do keep track of where I am flying over when I fly. what a beautiful business class on British Airways. I am shocked that they did not provide pajamas and slippers. Also a little dingy on the toiletries from the white company and colgate none other an American brand toothpaste but a tiny tiny little toothpaste tube. Great landing on Male's international airport.
Binge watching your travel videos as not traveling this year. Love this and the Bora Bora ones
Great trip report! I always love the music you pick for the initial descent into the destination!
Nice video as always, thanks 😍👍
Thanks for another informative and wonderful video.
I don't have a favourite aircraft. The bigger the better for me. I think I've flown on Airbuses most. But the smaller short-haul ones unfortunately.
I'm a teacher and have a couple of real aviation enthusiasts in my class. Imagine 13 to 14-year-old boys who instantly drop everything at the sight of a flying plane and start discussing it in great detail. We had our last day at school yesterday, they got their report cards and then I got to know they were off to the airport for a bit of plane spotting (they do that often and will even write a research paper on it next year). In about an hour I received a video of a British Air Force aircraft taking off from Tallinn Airport. Such fun. Love to see such interest and enthusiasm in young kids. Gives me hope for the future. 😁
I flew BA from Glasgow to London when I took my trip to the UK in 2019. I found them to be comparable to American Airlines here in the states ( which I consider just a step below Delta. It was a pleasant flight and crew was very helpful and friendly.
Sounds nice
Is that even good, aren’t all American Airlines terrible
Vast improvement in cabin. Excellent video thanks
Sometimes I watch your videos just for the soundtrack.
I am partial to the 747 but because my grandfather flew them as one of their top senior pilots for TWA back in the day. He flew the Polar route from SFO to LHR.
I like British Airways. Their cabin & tech crew are always very professional & polished.
Catering in economy could always be improved.
But overall a brilliant airline. Mostly punctual.
Thanks for another spectacular vlog. Your Maldives footage was second to none!!!!! Well done 👍🏼
I flew on an 10 hour ish flight from LH to male international in economy, everything was exceptional. Especially the crew
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍
Last week traveled with BA from LCY to Dublin. The business class or what they call Club Europa was pretty decent. Staff was very friendly and they kept me happy by providing extra bottles of wine without even asking for it haha :)!
Great review
What a beautiful company ! I really liked the vibe inside of the plane 😄😁
Very beautiful video 👍👍👍
Bucket list for sure. I plan on doing this either before the end of this year or sometime next year.
I flew the new Club Suites on a B777 from LHR to PHL in late March and absolutely loved it. I had to rebook my flight and was downgraded from First to Business. I thought I was getting the old Club World seats, but when I saw the new Club Suites, I was excited. I found it better than the First Class seats on both the B777 and B787. I especially enjoyed the privacy door, the leg room, direct access to the aisle, and pull out tray from under the IFE screen.
I flew BA a lot back in the '90s and early '00s. Their Business Class in the 747-400 was dreadful. First Class wasn't a whole lot better, and upgrades from Business between London and my home in Scottsdale (Phoenix) were really hard to come by. These new Business Class suites are better than the First Class seats in American's 777s of the time. I flew them twice per month from Chicago to Tokyo and then from London back to Chicago. I'd have loved to have these new Business Class suites as the First Class product back then. Happily retired and thankful I'm not still flying 300K to 400K miles per year.
@@TheMaartian Speaking of the B747. I’m flying First Class on a B747-8i from FRA to IAD in December. I’m really looking forward to my first and possibly only flight on a B747.
BRAVO ... BRAVO !!!
Dear British Airways (and other airlines), if you're going to charge me £1000s for a business class suite, don't charge me extra for Wi-Fi. Megabus throw in free Wi-Fi. Stop being cheapskates.
Hardly a comparison when installing wifi on an aircraft is totally different and the costs are extreme.. but if you’re paying business prices I sort of agree!
Don't charge hundreds of pounds for seat selection when paying for biz class!
came here to say this
I’ve flown British Airways first class from Boston on the 747 and business class from Washington D.C, Bahrain, Dubai, Norway, Greece, Turkey. The service has been amazing but slightly slow on meals but other than that superb
I Have Experience Britsh Airways New Business Class Suite On A350-1000.I Like The Product.Great Trip Report
Fancy👍
You're the king of the steady hand :) I enjoy your videos because they are just relaxing and informative and you don't try to "sell" yourself as a person.
Thanks 👍
great music selection !
Love your channel and presentation
Красавец Аэрофлот стоит 777 боинг. Канал отличный,спасибо.
My favorite will always be the Boing 747. The most beautiful airplane ever built. I wish they would make a comeback.
Hands down the favourite aircraft for me is the 747!
Flown with BA many years ago, never again as I got food poisoning. The drone shots are amazing 😍
Lovely 🎉❤
Nice food choice, I would have chosen the same dishes.
Looking forward to IC review.
Thank you so much for sharing your trip here!!! First off, the 777s are my second favorite to the 747-400s that I use to fly with my former airline. Hahaha! Laughing a bit!! Hahaha! But I have to say the Club World Business Class section there looked very nice. So, British Airways has three sections there and that is good. Your seat looked very nice!! I would also like to sit in that first section of the Business Class as well. I think you would get a quieter area and your meal service looked good also. It was good many people went to sleep on this flight looking at from your night video of your walking around!! Well, I see upon your arrival landing their government is building a new terminal building!!! That looks like it will be very nice but for now their airport has jet stairs and a bus service to take you to the present baggage area. Finally, the resort hotel photos take my breath away!!!! So beautiful to see from the air!!! Wow!!! Just wow!!! So, each hotel has cabanas or overwater suites set up floating in the ocean's coral reef areas there!!! Again, thank you for your flight video!!!!
A blessed good day sir Luxury, Wowwww 😍 what a nice Wonderful Experience with British Airways Business Class, 👏👏♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍 I love it
I'm so excited again for your Maldives Island Journey thank u so much for your wonderful flight Video Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍👏👏👏♥️♥️🙏🙂💕
It's good to see that BA have improved upon their woeful Club World seats. I was surprised to see that you blur out the faces of staff and a couple of other passengers but not all of them, and none of the people in the terminal building. An interesting choice.
I love British Airways. Last June on the way to Denmark from LHR, my luggage was lost for 8 weeks. That included my brand new 4K drone, my brand new 4k camera and all my clothes, of course. I had a wonderful 10 Days in Denmark, and then my nephew and I flew home to Australia. When he was ready to leave 7 weeks later, my luggage arrived home, after hiding in LHR for 8 weeks. Amazingly, it was complete and untouched. Thank you British Airways. That was when EVERYONE lost luggage. Keep smiling.
wondful video...thanks a bunch....my fav Aircraft 1. 747 2. 777-300 ...for that matter just being inside the Aircraft is an adrenaline rush, isnt it......
I am waiting for today's upload ❤❤❤
Teasing us with Another excellent video before seeing the upcoming new Maldives ultralux vids. Liked the new BA business class. Got to fly it last December from miami. Def a game changer for them as their old business class seats were/are not the most comfortable and tech/designed friendly. Looking fwd to next week’s production.
The luxury travel expert really open its door to the wealth of travel experience and swanky hotels around the world. I learned a lot from this channel. Bravo
Nice camera work
Thx
Love the land soundtrack 😎
i didnt hear music on the landing.
@@MrEbeet meant to say, prior to landing 😄
@@rawlingsjay1 it would have helped if i didnt fast forward to the actual landing and totally miss the island flyover footage. thanks for clueing me in :)
In my mind British Airways may not be the top notch hardware airline, but the service always great. This new suite is really cool, taking window seats doesn't feel like "drill in the closet".
And lesson learnt, flying to/ from Maldives, should take a window seat, the view is specular!
Finally, thank you expert, cannot wait for the few weeks of hotel videos!
777 is my favourite aircraft now that 747 is gone. British airways have the best pilots.
I fly BA long haul fairly regularly. I like the generally friendly service and feel quite safe on the planes. I like also that pilots talk to you as that eases my nerves. Their food hasn't been great for the last year or so. Cue lots of feedback from me and other passengers (staff told me). Mostly these days I am in premium economy as flights so dear, but even in business I had some poor food. Yours looked pretty nice and I am hopeful they are going to improve. I didn't know there were lounges in the B and C gates and will try those next month.
Flew BA to JFK in the first suite and back in the club suite and both products/experiences where amazing!!
Aeroflot 😍
Thanks for the great video. I am flying BA in April and I wish it was the type of plan like you were on. Mine has four across the center so I think you have to climb over someone who’s in the middle to get to the restroom. Not the best layout of seats. But maybe by the time I fly, I’ll get on one of these flights instead. I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Good Video 💐🙏
Teşekkürler.
Thank you
I like the sliding door some dont have that. It's nice to have the choice
The ba club suite looks a great improvement from that dreadful club world cabin , but at the same time it looks a really tight fit . I’m sure they can remove a lavatory and get another couple rows in to make up for the 8 across like in club world . Great music and fabulous views of the Maldives thank you , 😊
Can’t wait for my trip in November for the same flight 😅
Love the new seats. Was on BA’s A350-900 and the services was terribly slow, 3hrs to get the main meal. Running back to the galley for each course and tray was tough for the crew Galley too small for the business class cabin
Flying Club Class in September JFK to Rome looking forward to it!
Wish I would have run into you! I always in that lounge.
I flew British Airways in economy to Japan and back earlier this year - on the return flight my IFE wasn’t working and despite the crew trying to reboot it I had no entertainment for an almost 14 hour flight haha, otherwise the food service was great and economy pretty comfortable!
Very impressed. Well done BA, not only direct access but the doors are a major plus for business class, something I don't think even their first class has.
ps those views are enough to make you cry at the natural beauty of the place
The latest version of the first class suite (with doors) was launched in 2020 on new aircraft (including the one in this video, G-STBM) and a few older aircraft have had it retrofitted.
3:50 when luck is on our side.
Thank you, thank you luck ! 🥰
My favorite aircraft to this day will always be the 707 followed by the DC-8 (yes I’m that OLD). That said, today when flying internationally, I’m flying Lufthansa’s 747 because they won’t be here forever and I do love my seat 1A which physically puts me before the cockpit. Yes I’ve flown British Airways and, being old, fondly remember the VC-10 and it’s being quiet since the four engines were tail mounted. Unlike some travelers, I haven’t had a bad trip on British Airways. Crew have been lovely to me and food has been acceptable. 😉👍🏻. If I find myself onboard this 777 aircraft, I’d be in the forward cabin though.
Beautiful. Thank you for showing me more of God's handiwork for us to enjoy.
Favourite is legend 747 of course.
Hallo! Vielen Dank für den tollen Flight Report👍.
Ich bin in den 90igern mit BA ab Heathrow nach JFK und auch nach Don Muang geflogen. Aktuell bevorzuge ich StarAlliance Fluggesellschaften schon wegen meinem Miles&More Programm.
Meine Lieblingsflugzeugtypen sind derzeit A380 und A350. Aber 747/8, 777 u 787 mag ich auch.
Beste Grüße🙏
Always look forward to your new videos thank you 🙏 🛫🌍🛬
Thanks for the video. The seats look pretty good although not sure how I feel about there being 70+ seats in business. The main cabin could feel crowded. Might give it a try later this year.
