REVIEW | British Airways | Phoenix (PHX) - London (LHR) | Boeing 777-200ER | Economy

Join me on this 10 hour flight from Phoenix, Arizona to London, England onboard British Airlines newly refurbished 777-200ER. Sadly this flight was a disappointment after my two amazing flights I had on them in 2021.

Of course the delay was a nuisance, but apart from that the flight seemed very acceptable. People just love to criticise British Airways. The longhaul service is generally far superior to the dismal service usually offered by American carriers.

Watching this for my flight to London in a few months! Great POV! Wish me luck!

I flew this exact route and flight number in Jan, before the plane had a new retrofitted club world and economy. Even the new mood lighting in economy makes a massive, pleasant difference imo. But I can't help but think the older seats were nicer lol? Wider, for sure. Also its funny when I see this flight being 100% full. My flight literally had less than 30 people on the whole plane LOL.

Not sure you can blame BA for the delays surely cleaning of the aircraft is the responsibility of the handling agent at the departure airport, regarding the IFE how many films can you watch on a 9 hour flight particularly when it's a night flight, are you really going to be that disappointed that you didn't get a salty snack with the first drink, the main meal looked perfectly acceptable and in my view better than what you would get on an American carrier, at least the alcohol is free on BA. Having flown transatlantic on a number of carriers both American and British, BA win hands down.

Albuquerque at 10:28 + wasn’t expecting to see my hometown in your video. Nice!

I just flew from London to Phoenix 3 days ago, pretty good flight

I flew from Houston to Heathrow on a BA 777-300 recently. The legroom made it clear for me that I will not be doing that again. Granted I am older and need to stretch my legs from time to time, but it was rough. No one should be forced to sit in those cramped seats for 10 hours. No mood lighting on my flight either. Both the flight and return flights were delayed by an hour and half due to BA staffing issues.

At $491 R/T you should have no complaints. I paid last year R/T IAH-IST-RIX and that was a COVID half price anomaly. Your deal is almost as good.

You flew over Kansas at the height of storm season Nice catch of the lightning.

Long time BA flyer here. They’re a pure disgrace now. If they could get away with taking the seats out and making passengers stand while having them pay the same enormous fare they’d jump on it.

[ricardosam]

Thanks for sharing I hope u make your connection, BA I flew with them couple years ago on 747 wasn’t happy at all either . But I will be flying with them from Dallas to Lhr soon

I've taken this route several times. I personally would give them another chance. I've experienced nothing but good service on the route. Not that this is an excuse, but flight crews all over the world are exhausted. They've worked through a pandemic, passengers refusing to comply with masks and other crew instructions. As a frequent flyer myself, I've seen some crews treated like absolutely trash. Not to mention most of these crews are experiencing delays daily like you did in this flight so they are exhausted. Anyways, great video as always, but again maybe give them a try again sometime in a year or two. I'm sure the service will improve.

Nice vid. I have flown BA several times over the years between the US and the UK, and once to Africa. Overall, they're a pretty good global airline, but I've found that the product and experience varies greatly depending on both the route and the equipment. I've not flown on their 777 yet, only their 747's and A380's transatlantic, but if you're willing to spend some extra $ (for either biz class or premium coach seating), you do get a much better flight experience. For the $491 roundtrip PHX - MAD, I'd say you got what you paid for 🙂

Interesting review. I think you got good value for money but I agree that a dinner roll might have been the difference between a full feeling vs still wanting a bit. Presumably you paid for the window for some video but personally I always get an aisle seat for a long haul flight firstly for the complete freedom to get up and stretch/ use the toilet and also the general sense of not being as closed in. Anyway... back to the food... lesson learned to always bring some biscuits for the occasion when the amount of food falls a bit short of one's appetite.

I flew on that plane 6 days later from YVR TO LHR IN SEAT 41K AND WAS ALLOWED IN THE FLIGHT DECK

[mikeedwards]

Good demonstration of product offering and thank you.

[gobbledygook]

Just flew with them and I did get a small snack with the drink, not sure why you didn’t get one. Admittedly I was in PE, but the drink service often isn’t very different between the two.

I give BA a 7 out of 10 for my experience with them. My flights from PHX to Doha through LHR and back were pretty comfy. The cabin crew were great, the food was great. The actual flying experience was top notch. Customer service via telephone was a tremendous let down. While in Doha my host family experienced a medical emergency the day of my return flights leaving me stranded at their house alone with no phone service and spotty internet. I had no internet access, my phone died during the last of 4 calls I made to BA to reschedule or arrange assistance to the airport. I don’t speak Arabic, so I was at a loss trying to get a cab. I wasn’t able to reach BA via phone for 2 more days, no one answered the damned phone! The messages kept telling me to call back at different hours. By that time I was able to reach someone by phone I had well missed my return flight, and BA was not sympathetic at all. In all it cost me an additional $1600 to get back home. I was not pleased, to say the least.

At 19:04 Waye Avenue Cranford. The place where I grew up.
