Revealing British Airways Economy in 2023

Nice video mate thanks me and my wife flying with BA out of Gatwick in a couple of weeks always used virgin before but tired of having to use Heathrow when we live next to Gatwick they charged us £300 after booking so we could guarantee sitting next to each other which we thought was outrageous (twin seats at the back ) so we hope they are good or it’s back to Heathrow 😢

Thanks! I will be flying from Nashville to Heathrow in September. This eases my stress! Are the alcohol "offerings" free of charge?

Best to book long haul for the year ahead before April when the flight tax goes up.

Hi! I love your sofa! Where is it from??

Could anybody tell me roughly how much more it would cost to upgrade to premium economy? One way thank you

Useful video thanks.

Stop trying to enunciate and vocalise like a newscaster. It’s painful.

British Airways has unfortunately become Easyjet quality at premium prices in my opinion, this is especially true with the new A320 cabins. However this was a brilliant and very enjoyable review and the food served on this flight actually looked quite nice.

I have flown DEN - LHR over the years and the service definitely has eroded over the years. I know it’s cost cutting measures, but do I sure miss the old BA service. There used to be;

- an actual amenity kit in economy

-the second meal service was a box with a sandwich, fruit, yogurt etc.

- seats were much more comfortable and the blankets were more plush

I have a canker sore on my tongue I’ve had it for 4 days 😢

The only industry where all companies have raced to the bottom.

What is the luggage allowance on long haul in economy?

Omg that WiFi is such a rip off. Qatar airways was £6 for the whole 7h flight

Great Review But everything looks cheap especially the food. Scary. Thank you

BA long haul is getting some ok reviews at the moment.. I’ve been flying short haul trips with them for many years, and I can honestly say that maybe it’s ok 50% of the time , and awful for the other 50% .. the leg room is usually very small for me - I’m 183cm tall .. and I get very uncomfortable nearly every time .. the cabin crew can be friendly and professional, but can also be very rude and lazy .. it’s about 50/50 again in my last number of flights since the pandemic.. I could go on , but I don’t like that BA are totally unpredictable nowadays.. all the other carriers I fly with are usually much more consistent and generally provide a better product overall .. I’ve been flying on BA (and their predecessors) most of my life .. but they’re simply not worth it anymore.. high prices for low quality product.. Grrrrr…

Flown BA 6 times this year I all cabins . Brilliant airline brilliant cabin crew . Far better than any Middle Eastern airlines now by far.

BA is a dreadful airline. They abandon me in Madrid and Lisbon the staff were arrogant and unhelpful they sold me a first class ticket to Dubai and back,when they knew they haven’t got a first-class cabin on the return journey. They treat customers like dirt. There is no better airline than Emirates, always try Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, all of which are amazing. British, American, and European airlines, have completely lost the plot, they don’t understand. good customer service

loved the video and me and my boyfriend are due to fly BA Economy in september 2025 i was just wondering if the soft drinks, alcohol & snacks were free or if you have to pay for them?

I liked the days of McDonald's. Now Gatwick is overpriced poncy food that is low quality. I have had nothing but poor quality food since ths new owners took over. Less choice of shops and shops often sell identical overpriced products. You are young, which means you won't understand the old Gatwick and the love of it by families, especially with young kids. McDonalds was a life saver. Certainly, I don't like crap they sell you now.

Hmm!!!....not bad BA....I'm tempted. At least they serve London Tanqueray Dry....makes long-haul so much more bearable! You say you were satisfied with the meal service but I feel that economy catering is much reduced from what it was in years gone by, now it's all tiny disposable plastic containers, tin foil trays, reduced portions and snacks in cardboard boxes before landing.....obviously every aspect of economy catering is now reduced. I think the Asian carriers do catering better, even on short-haul. You kept saying "We"....it wasn't obvious but did you have a traveling companion? However.....very enjoyable, you really are very easy viewing and reveal the necessary detail capturing the essence of the flight/trip.

I never thought I'd be sat enjoying Aeroplane videos. I'm glad i found your vids as they are incredibly informative and have helped me decide on BA for my trips at least! I think the quality is worth the price it seems!

Finally looks as though BA are getting their house in order that looked a pretty reasonable trip, seat looked good as did the in-flight service, the loo did look a bit grubby though needed some JIF on the basin. BA still have big problems though with cancellation and flight delays that is something they really need to sort out as their reputation is pretty poor

They put a priority tag on your luggage! Often don't get that if just flying economy (with silver/gold status)

Another amazing and so well put together flight report, thank you 😊
