    Good job you had extra leg room as the leg room in economy is abysmal with BA these days. I used to go out of my way to fly them but these days i'll just book whoever is cheapest and most convenient for me. Luckily my flight from Verona also had a Buy onboard as well as the snack you showed. I think more people would prefer a better buy onboard offering than a 10g bag of pretzels although the water is always handy.

    Nice to have met you Marcus on a stormy morning in Porthcawl. I've never flown with British Airways but with the size of pretzels and the water I don't think I will bother.

      Good to see you. Yes, it was very 'fresh" this morning. Yep, those pretzels weren't the biggest.

    This is the issue with British Airways, there is little in the way of service and it's very expensive. Unfortunately I think complementary meals in economy are a thing of the past with a lot of airlines.
    I have just booked a return flight from Heathrow to Reykjavik with Icelandair for £350. the same flight on the same day with BA was £750.
    I would suggest for your next trip to Portugal you book with TAP air Portugal.

      Thanks for the suggestion, we'll try them next time.

    Think. You can preorder food .. seats more comfortable than Ryan / Easyjet ... wrong that you can't easily get a tea or coffees

    Another reason why cruising from Southampton is the way to go. Flying these days are a really pain.

    I flew to Porto on this exact flight, also an hour late. What date was this?

      @@flydriveexplore I was actually the week before. Exact same experience. Found it ran basically like a Ryanair flight. Delayed for over an hour and the dreaded glass box of doom check in area.

    Enjoyed this vlog. You could’ve inhaled that tiny pack of pretzels. Flew with KLM recently between Amsterdam and Warsaw in economy - there was a proper sandwich and two drink services during a 1hr 40mn flight. To each company their own I suppose.

      We've done the KLM from Cardiff to Amsterdam a few times and yes, we had a cup of tea and cake and it was only and hour!

    I’m more sufficient on flight Sim on the PC, but at least you took off and arrived safely that’s the main concern

    • @flydriveexplore

      Yep, arriving in one piece is always a plus point.

    The Which Survey annoyed me haha! Ryanair is the reason every airline has cheaper flights nowadays. They are cheap themselves, they don't deserve the hate! As always, great vid guys

      Thanks, yes Ryanair are cheap and don't pretend to be anything else but British Airways seem to be all over the shop with their standards.

    Hi Marcus, how are you? I'm doing well. I flew on British airways. It's not bad. But they don't speak other languages. Awesome live video. See you next video greetings from Canada

      Hi, surprisingly the pilot did speak a little Portuguese.

    6:02 how rude and patronising. Well the “12 year old” got you both to your destination safe and sound 🙄

    It’s nice to see people wearing the ineffective and some white virtue signaling facial coverings. There’s a chance I might fly from Indy to the UK next weekend. I’m definitely going to be there in the middle of April. I’m looking for an Airbnb extended stay in the south of England, or even in Wales if possible. I can’t recall tarmac boarding much.

      I was surprised to be on the bus at Heathrow, it is rare but unfortunately we had it this time.
