Beautiful Approach and Landing in Barcelona British Airways Boeing 737 G-GBTB

A really nice approach and landing in Barcelona (BCN / LEBL) with some great views over Barcelona, on board a British Airways 737. With the French ATC strikes causing delays, we arrived 1 hour 40 minutes behind schedule.
PLEASE READ:
With our detour around France giving us an extra hour in the air, it gave us plenty of time to enjoy our flight on this aircraft! The service and crew were fantastic and the pilots were nice and friendly, allowing us into the cockpit at the end of our flight.
Whilst the delay wasn't so bad on our outbound flight, our return flight that evening was delayed by 5 hours and after spending around 7 hours in Terminal 1 at Barcelona airport, we arrived back at Gatwick at 4am the next morning rather than 23:10 which was our scheduled arrival time. Terminal 1 is very nice though in Barcelona!

Los Angeles is overrated and so is las vegas, go to San Diego

[@catalannationalist9847]

@@aurorab4553 San Diego seems kind of underrated.

Great video. I'm going to Barcelona this September and I cannot wait. Thank you.

[@thanos8948]

[@yourmanyourman2036]

I'm flying to Barcelona in three weeks. On 10.10.2018. Hope to watch the city like in this video when landing. I've booked the seat near the window

[@manolofontaner7711]

Que bonito buen video lo veo tantas veces cuando voy a Barcelona desde Asia,el mar divino tesoro.es expectacular llegar a BARCELONA.

[@AirCatAviation]

Wow! The wing looks tiny and the engine looks flat at the bottom! B734 personality! Awesome vid!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Awesome video! Isn't that one great airplane? ;) hope british keeps them for some more years :) LIKE!

[@charlest103]

Thanks! :) Yes its a great plane! Unfortunately its not long now till they will all be retired!

[@Altenholz]

Agree, absolutely stunning! Thanks

[@Flighttime787]

stunning video! love the wing of the BA 737.. sad they do not fly anymore! the approach into Barcelona is awesome! love the view over the coastline and the Harbour :D i've been there with an air Europa a330 and it was just awesome :D with condensations on the wing and so on :D

[@JonathanWardYT]

8:47 is what i was looking for... thanks so much!

[@PSatBAviation]

I see you followed a different path to the airport, because of the French ATC... I think I recorded the plane taxiing! I'll check it and of course big like for my city and the great video!!!

[@aimeesworld6537]

I have subscribed and watch your videos all the time and I bet you enjoy going on planes for us and plane spotting

[@Mraviationguy]

Stunning video mate:) The whole approach was really nice to watch. I think the view from your seat made the video a lot better because you can see a lot of the land, like the engine and wing doesn't take up all the frame, but you can still see the engine:) Liked.

[@charlest103]

Thanks! Yeah it was a great view from this seat! I definitely prefer being in front of the engine to behind the wing! :)

[@bristolcardifairport]

Very nice approach and landing video mate, liked :)

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@mylosairplanefan]

Wow, beautiful shot of the TAP in the beginning of the video! :) And indeed, a very beautiful approach. Thanks for sharing! :) Liked!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Wowey nice one mate. Was planning on going on BAs 734 to Jersey but sadly the time it was operating was inconvenient so opted for the 319 instead. Great view going into BCN. Well done LIKED :)

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! Ah that's a shame, maybe you will get to fly on a BA 734 before they are retired! :)

[@ManchesterAviation]

Awesome video as always! It's a shame that your flight was delayed by that long!

[@charlest103]

Thank you! :) Yes it was a shame, but it wasn't the airlines fault!

[@Holzauktion]

beautiful footage. BCN is a small city compared with another footage of the same view but of Tokyo. XD

[@AviationVideosDublin]

Amazing video man!! Stunning approach!! Liked a lot!!

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@turbofanlover]

BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR SHARING

[@Flyspotter19]

Sorry to hear that about your return flight! Great vid :)

[@charlest103]

Yeah it was annoying having such a long delay coming back, but at least the flight wasn't cancelled! Thanks for watching! :)

[@katierhi6528]

British airways don't even fly 737s anymore so this is a really unique video :D

[@charlest103]

+Katie Preston Thanks for watching! :)

[@juancarlossoton]

Nice video. I see you flew in Club Europe.

[@charlest103]

+juancarlossoton Unfortunately not! The Club Europe cabin on this flight went up to row 3! Thanks for watching! :)

[@EthanPricco]

I traveled to Barcelona a little over two years ago. Beautiful city!

[@carsonhaught9934]

Stunning video... you can tell it's a new plane, the window is transparent!

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@speedbird1598]

+Roystone Szweda Actually it is not. BAs youngest 737 is around 19 years old!

[@401sttfw9]

+Roystone Szweda This aircraft is 22.5 years old and is in storage. Definitely not new.

[@rayanmarianelli1371]

Not new... But def the best machine out there! 737 in the blood!!!!!

[@airportshotels3060]

Awesome!

[@NLAviation]

Very nice movie

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@FRASPOTTER]

Very cool! I'll go to BCN too

[@PSatBAviation]

Sorry for asking but, I am a spotter from Barcelona, and just for curiosity, will you come for spotting or holidays? If it is for spotting we could meet up! (Subscribed, I really like Frankfurt, one of the big Euroairports!).

[@FRASPOTTER]

WILLIAM MATEO ALLTON Hi! I´ll go to BCN with my family for holidays. I think I won´t have the chance to spot at BCN :(

[@PSatBAviation]

Ok, have a lovely holiday!

[@FRASPOTTER]

Thank my friend!

[@marcosair4185]

good video.....Cheers

[@markusschult6513]

Really the approach into BCN is very, very breathtaking. But the engine-noisy is such disturbing. Hopefully in the near future BA will replace their old B-737-jets with much more modern jets. Like the A320NEO/ceo.

[@flightfernando]

737-400 valuable plane.

[@charlest103]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@23rdjune]

Seemed like a really fast landing?

[@aimeesworld6537]

I went to East Midlands airport yesturday and I saw lots of planes if I had a camera I could have taken a video I saw loads of Ryanair planes

[@maltimoto]

Good video. I love "Bobby" as we call the old 737 in Germany. This has to be runway 25R in LEBL.

[@FlyingHigh_Aviation]

Great video mate!Which camera do you use?:)

[@charlest103]

Thanks! I use a Sony HX20V for all my videos :)
