I appreciate that you do a lot of economy class. A lot of the other trip report channels only do business or first, and then throw economy in there every blue moon when they’re forced to.

6:56 See, I really enjoy personable captains like this man. They always seem so chill and relatable, makes you even more comfortable with your pilot

Slow day at college? Fear not: Simply Aviation is here with a new episode.

3:14 HOLY SMOKE that looks straight from the year 2030.
Great job from Airbus with this plane, it gives the best futuristic vibes.

Love the captain too "I would love to come back to Mrs. Brown early". One of your best videos.

When you realize your floor is somebody's ceiling… :)

Gordon Ramsay all chill till he eats the airplane food

I really love night flights, it gets so peaceful and comfortable

[aletoro]

Totally agree. I flew a few times on this route on BA 380's upper deck. I prefer the tail section of economy. A little cabin with just 8-9 rows, very quiet. I also love the side storage, very useful on those long haul flights.

I cracked up when the pilot said" do not fasten your seatbelt"

[thearsenalmisfit]

A380 is the most comfortable Aicraft I've ever flown on in economy. Haven't tried the A350 yet.
Nice report.

I REALLY LOVE these trip reports by YOUR channel. (There's two of you?) No music, no unnecessary voice commentary. No elaborate editing. And of course, you fly economy most of the time.
You really feel like a down-to-earth channel. On top of that, when you combine all those characteristics I just mentioned, I really feel as though I am actually ON that flight. Every video! 
Keep going! Especially as travel restrictions loosen.

6:42 watching this in 2020.... clearly effective

This is one of the first arrivals into London Heathrow, usually competes with the Virgin Atlantic service from HKG to be the first arrival of the day. 04:45 scheduled arrival, Virgin is within 10 or so mins. I've done both flights BA28 and BA32 as well as VS207. I also flew the inaugural Air New Zealand B747 in October 2006. Great trip report 👍

G-XLEL! I flew on her 1st class from Miami to London Heathrow as un upgrade from our business class 777 flight which got cancelled. Once in a lifetime experience for me, was only able to do it thanks to the company I work for. Great experience with BA, super friendly staff and I was ecstatic to fly on an A380 for my first time. Thanks for your videos my friend :)

[gustavoaraya]

I've used all airlines, and so far British A. has given me the best experiences, keep up the good work BritishAirways.

[KebenCosme]

You got me at Gordon Ramsay's cameo at the safety video.

When you understand That simply aviation is a team and not a single person

[tamimfaisal]

Would definitely love to fly the A380 before it is eventually phased out. It's a shame that the production such a magnificent aircraft it coming to an end.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Oh god, I hope the A380s make a comeback post-COVID, at least for a little while longer. I'd love to sit in the upper deck at least once.

[hanj]

Yup upper deck is the way to go. I flew upper deck once on Asiana economy class and got a 4 seater all to my self to use as a bed
