For many years, British Airways Flight 1 meant one thing: Concorde from London to New York. Today, British Airways Flight 1 has a different connotation. It's a British Airways A318 flying from London City (LCY) to Shannon (SNN) and on to New York (JFK). It's certainly British Airways' most unique route and, let's face it, a British Airways A318 flying across the Atlantic probably ranks up there as one of the most unique routes on the planet.
Here's a link to the full, unedited takeoff and landing footage from this flight:

Now, in this video about British Airways Flight 1, I'll highlight the ground experience at LCY and SNN, the British Airways A318 Club World seat, the British Airways A318 Club World food, the British Airways A318 Club World in-flight entertainment, and the British Airways A318 Club World service.
British Airways Business Class has been discussed by other trip reporters at length. Here's my take on what is, arguably, the strangest British Airways Business Class around. Club World is a product with many variants. And this version of Club World is unique to the Airbus A318. It's worth noting British Airways A318 Club World is a special seat design worth taking a look at in this video about British Airways Flight 1.
In the end, I'll give the experience on British Airways A318 a score. But, I'm curious to know...after watching the video, how would you rate the British A318 service from London to New York?
I'll even give you my decision about whether I think this flight earned the designation it shared with Concorde: British Airways Flight 1.

I used to work on this route as cabin crew and all the issues that have been highlighted all boil down to one thing; weight. Traditional business class seats and IFE are all very heavy and more weight means more fuel and that’s the issue here. The aircraft is tiny and can only hold so much fuel. So why not fly a larger aircraft from LCY? You can’t. The runway is very short and only smaller aircraft can use it. The reason the flight stops in Shannon is because it wouldn’t be able to take off from LCY with full fuel tanks (the aircraft would be too heavy for such a short runway). I used to fly LGW JFK too and skipping immigration at JFK was always a joy. We just picked up our bags and walked out the door. Bliss. This route also became known as the Barclays Bus as it seemed to be the preferred method for a lot of their execs in Canary Wharf. That said it was nearly always the case that the flight out to JFK was half empty, whereas the flight back was full, for the simple reason that it was just a very different experience. Passengers on the flight back were allowed to use the first class lounge in JFK which was a big plus for many, in that they simply loaded up on food and drink before boarding and then got on board and went straight to sleep as most of them were walking off the plane and into their offices. It’s was very common on that flight home for the service to last about 5 mins i.e. handing out the odd night cap. Next thing, they woke up at a tiny airport in central London where they could go from plane to office in about 20 mins. There was a breakfast service for those that wanted it although most went with the breakfast to go that we offered which was a brown paper bag with pastries and fruit. We also did coffee to go. One thing that I do remember was the turbulence. I don’t know if I was particularly unlucky on this route but we did seem to get kicked around a fair bit coming across the Atlantic. And Atlantic turbulence on such a small aircraft certainly felt, erm, different. Not that the passengers ever seemed to mind. I remember not having been able to get out of my seat for over an hour due to very heavy turbulence and decided to crawl down the aisle to check on people, and they all looked at me like I was mad. Most weren’t the least bit bothered and just said “Erm, shouldn’t you be strapped in?” They were right of course. My point is they were very seasoned fliers. The crew absolutely love this route. It became a fleet within a fleet at LGW and we did feel very privileged to fly it. The flight back into city will always remain popular but the outbound route has always struggled and with the advent of crossrail this seems set to worsen. BA may have to think about moving the outbound flight to LGW or LHR although that’s not without it’s complications either.

Jeb Brooks Aw thanks fella. You’re ever so welcome. You might like this too. I do remember there was one passenger who did get scared during one of those bouts of bad turbulence I mentioned. I was trying to reassure her and during the conversation she asked how many people were on board the aircraft and I told her there were 29 passengers and 5 crew. To which she responded “No I don’t mean in business class, I mean on the whole plane”. “Erm, that is the whole plane ma’am”. “But what about downstairs?” What followed was 10 seconds of us both looking at each other like the other was crazy. But it became apparent that she was genuinely under the impression that she had somehow boarded the upper deck of either a 747 or an A380. And she point blank refused to believe me when I told her she was on a much much smaller aircraft. Once the seat belt signs were finally switched off I had to take her on a little tour of the aircraft (duration 35 seconds). Whilst she had been scared before, it bubbled up into absolute terror when confronted with the proof that she was indeed in a tiny plane over the Atlantic. This wasn’t helped when other passengers got wind of what her issue was and found it hilarious. “What’s up with her?” “She thought she was upstairs in a jumbo and now she’s bricking it” What?? Ha ha ha. dizzy cow. Was she smashing the champers in the lounge?” All said in posh English accents too, which made it even funnier and even harder to remain sympathetic to her plight. She had the good grace to look a bit sheepish as she got off bless her. But I didn’t see her again on that service. Not surprisingly really.

Nonsense. Providing reasonable storage for a seat doesn't really add weight, and putting more movies on an iPad adds exactly 0kg.

@scottlafferty6448 5 жыл бұрын
dijox There is no love lost between me and BA so I would never seek to defend them. I was just explaining why things are as they are on this flight. BA would have regular seats and IFE if they could but they can’t because of weight issues. It’s not nonsense. Just fact. And the IPads are fully loaded. They can’t store anymore films and TV programs than they already do. Again that’s not in BA’s defence. It’s just the truth. As for storage people tended to use the area under the foot rest but it wasn’t ideal. But everyone had their coats hung up in a wardrobe by us before take off and handed back to them before landing so that was one less thing to store and every passenger basically had an entire overhead locker to themselves too.

The fuel issue is a misconception. The aircraft could quite easily make it from LCY to JFK without refuelling. The issue is due to the take off angle at LCY which the aircraft can’t do with a full tank - hence the refuelling stop at SNN. Back when BA ran 2 of these services per day the 2nd service arrived into SNN after CBP preclearance had closed and therefore arrived at JFK like any regular international arrival.

You've completely missed the big plus of this flight. Because you clear customs & immigration at Shannon you land at JFK as a domestic passenger. Clearing at Shannon means you have, at most, 31 pax in front of you. Given JFK, like MIA, is one of the busiest ports of entry to the US this is a fantastic advantage which saves a huge amount of time and stress.

Just an interesting fact, the A318 can fly from LCY direct to JFK, but it's the take off performance required on LCY's short runway that is the reason for the stop-over at Shannon. The A318 would be too heavy to gain the performance required to take-off on the short runway at London City. Given that this is a business class only flight, it's designed for ease of use for business customers, therefore London City is the ideal location for them to depart from whilst also benefiting from US pre-clearance while refueling at Shannon. It's also worth noting, the stop-over is only on the LCY->JFK flight, not the return :)

This is a really cool flight... I've been on it a few times. The plane could actually make the flight to JFK without refueling... if it took off from a different airport. Runway and climbout restrictions at London City Airport prevent the airplane from departing with a full cabin and a full load of fuel, though. The stop in Shannon with Preclearance really makes the flight unique. It's nice to be able to just walk out of the airport in New York.

Back in the Piston Days all West Bound flights stopped at either Shannon or Prestwick in Scotland to top of for the flight to the US due to Mercator winds which make the trip West burn more fuel. Many a Concorde arrived in JFK on fumes or had to stop in Nova Scotia. That was her biggest commercial failure, lack of range.

Shannon Airport (SNN) is one of those jewels in the crown of aviation. It was the FIRST....yes, the 1st airport in the world to offer duty free. Also, from the 1940s to the 60s....early 70s, many international carriers had to stop here to refuel between Europe and the Americas. Going through this airport is a pleasure....no queues, no hassle....when you collect you luggage on arrival, then immigration and customs.....come into the arrivals hall.........you walk through the doors......and all you can hear is the birds singing, and that fresh Country air.........and Galway City only 45 mins up the M18 motorway. They had a photo exhibition a while back, showing pictures of the airport of decades gone by.......EVERY major Hollywood star from from the Golden era had to stop here to refuel, so they'd all be drinking in the airport bar and restaurant.....i saw Tom Hanks at the bar last year, he was refueling his private jet, on his way back from a family holiday in Greece

32 seats in total on a flight from London to New York? Either the A318 is insanely efficient, or the average ticket price gotta be up there. Nice review of the route, cool to see a medium distance plane being used across the pond :-)

This flight was mostly meant for use by businessmen who worked in central London. Who wanted to not travel far away from the city centre of London and the business district or London. To go to New York on a frequent basis. Hence them using an A318 with only business class seating.

Enter LCY as the destination. It'll give LHR flights, but scroll down and you should find the LCY flight. I just looked it up myself out of curiosity.

You have to select business class because this is a business class flight. If economy class is selected, the website will automatically redirect you to LHR or LGW.

Have watched a few of your videos over the past couple of weeks. But this one??? This one earned you a new subscriber WITH Notification enabled. Great video. Informative, creative and entertaining. I myself, I would fly in the cargo bay if that's where they wanted me to sit. I simply love to fly. And it's very obvious that you do as well. And that is communicated very clearly throughout the video I look forward to your future videos. Happy Flying!

good infomative video as always Jeb.. just 2 little comments, if I may : - a bit of graphics help, like map showing the flight route. London to Shannon to JFK. I'm particularly curious on which part of the Atlantic did this little plane cross. - you don't discuss financial do you? ordinary guys like us would love to know, how much its gonna cost us to follow you on one of your adventures. TQ

@Kilo Byte any plane would have caught fire if a chunk of its tyre was sheared off and slammed into the fuelled wing. The next plane after that DC10 shed its part just happened to be Concorde. It could have been a 747 and we'd have been looking at 300+ deaths
