That low pitched hum in the background from the burners gets me every time.

[@kibidk]

Almost to short a flight for any onboard service. Nice views of some of the densely populated areas in England.

[@Airlinepilot1687]

Great video. I flew the other day back to Manchester on the Dove Shuttle. It's a great little service.

[@noelphilips]

Thank you! And awesome - it may take longer all in all but much nicer than being crammed in a train for 3 hours!

[@worldaviation4k]

Time to watch this video and see what BA are like these days :)

[@noelphilips]

Enjoy the flight :)

[@richardlitherland7938]

Amazing, in-depth video. Thank you :)

[@RahmanSajid]

Great video man :)

[@noelphilips]

Thank you! :)

[@noelphilips]

Yep it was great to see my local from the air! Did you spot the landing aircraft?

[@lindenbeck]

Last summer I flew from LHR to Berlin in Club Europe. To be honest I was a little bit disappointed from the Gallarie North lounge. Had expected British sweets like cadbury choclate. Asked one of the stewardess if I could take with me the cutlery. She said yes of course.

[@cyrusbahador5860]

Happy New Year! Perfect video thank you always is enjoyable seeing your videos

[@noelphilips]

Thanks Cyrus - Happy New Year to you too!

[@cyrusbahador5860]

You´re welcome. I appreciate you for the videos always

[@MD-vt4pq]

Cheers, loved it. Sorry you missed the lounge at Man. Spent all day there once. :)

[@noelphilips]

Thanks! Yep a shame but it's not the last Club Europe flight I'll take - in fact I'm doing it again in a couple of weeks :)

[@JelmersAviation]

Awesome video mate!

[@noelphilips]

Thanks Jelmer!

[@alihaidersyed6031]

Beautiful London

[@noelphilips]

It's a beautiful city :)

[@madmackemstransportadventu523]

You should do a vid of an onboard flight from Newcastle.

[@radhit8633]

Why is the callsign "SHUTTLE" instead of "SPEEDBIRD"? Happy new year!

[@noelphilips]

BA use the SHUTTLE callsign on most (all?) of their domestic flights. This is from the days when they ran the BA Shuttle from London to Edinburgh/Glasgow/Belfast, and you could just turn up and hop on any of the flights (they ran every hour I believe).

[@angeltransportpjects]

Penned in fond memory of British Airways 'Super Shuttle' which between 1976 and 2003 served Edinburgh / Glasgow / Manchester and Belfast from London Heathrow (Terminal 1) and made work horses of the Hawker Siddeley Trident and the Boeing 757-236 / Boeing 767-336ER when in service with the Carrier. In recognition 'Shuttle' has been retained as the call sign and trademark identity for an expanded number of services now as is the prefix SHT visually: I too am pretty sure this applies to all domestic services with 'Speedbird' and BAW only in use where services operate to international destinations including Belfast. As the Boeing 757-200 which was the mainstay of the 'Super Shuttle' concept for twenty years left the BA fleet and in line with the 2001 'Future Size and Shape' internal report the decision was taken to 'homogenise' (rather pretentious IMHO alternative to using 'standardise') the operation of all domestic flights beyond 28th February 2003. This removed the 'turn up and travel' ethos completely from LHR to EDI / GLA / MAN services enabling the (smaller) Airbus types and cost reduction measures to be deployed. These measures had already proven effective since their piloting began on Belfast services during 2000. Upon introduction with the Trident in 1976 the 'Super Shuttle' concept was deemed ground breaking but was designed in an era of a labour-intensive / inefficient and less intensive asset (fleet) utilizing and state owned Carrier. Compared with the picture in 2003 which spelt the need for standardization to suit the needs of the Carrier post privatisation (1984) and amidst the vastly different and evolved airline industry of almost three decades later. Sadly thanks to the power of the media changing over the same time period the heralding of a new 'London Airways' era starting around this time overshadowed the benefits! IMHO 'Future Size and Shape' enabled the Carrier to maintain a favourable market position and share having been well researched and compiled in line with expectations. Enabling 'London Airways trading as British Airways' to keep reaching where other national (and Flag) Carriers such as Sabena / Belgium (RIP 2001) ... Malev / Hungary (RIP 2006) and VARIG / Brazil (final RIP in 2009) plus the entities which arose from what Swissair ... Olympic and Alitalia formerly represented no longer reach.

Hi there! I really enjoyed watching this. I’m a fearful flyer but I’m actually aiming to book this exact flight (LDN HEATHROW to MAN with BA and then back again) but I’m a little confused in terms of the duration of the flight? So for you I believe it took around 40 minutes and someone else’s video of the journey it took about 35 minuets. But when I go to book the flights, it says the duration is an hour? Obviously as a fearful flyer I’d like to know how long I’m in the air for as I only want to be taking short trips initially. I’d just like to know what the general duration is and why online it says 1 hour! Also I really liked how you showed us actually getting on the plane in the beginning! Super helpful for someone like me

[@michaelkitchin9665]

I think the flight duration you're given when you book includes time for the plane to board and taxi to the runway. They probably give it some leeway for any potential delays.

[@hazar66]

Great job filming! You finally got the Olympic Dove Livery, plus Business Class! Did you notice, on flightradar24 that lots of BA flights already have the aircraft listed like 1 day before departure? And American flights too. And, sometimes when you look at certain flights at a place, you may surprisingly see the same aircraft there. For example: I was looking at flights at Sao Paulo, then I saw your Air France B777 that you took to YVR! Plus, my birthday is the following Friday! :) One suggestion: LGW > JFK > TPA > LGW, in city terms: London-Gatwick to New York-JFK to Tampa to London-Gatwick

[@noelphilips]

Thank you! Yep I flew on it originally before I filmed full flights, so I'm lucky that I've rode on it twice but only one filmed properly :) Yes BA do seem to load the aircraft a few days ahead. Some other airlines do too :) . I have a TPA flight coming soon - albeit from Dallas rather than LGW. Is that OK? :)

[@hazar66]

Yup! That's good for me! :)

Good Flight Noel

[@noelphilips]

Thank you :)

[@RaAyAp]

First of all; happy new year to you and your family! I have a question; would it be possible to upload the video twice. One with and one without the map? Or maybe take a poll about wether the map should be included ;-)

[@noelphilips]

Thank you - happy new year to you! Thanks for the map feedback - what are your thoughts on that? Too intrusive? Not really want to see it? It's a lot of work to do that I felt added something (and I'm working on it to make it more accurate and more realistic going forward). Let me know what you think :)

[@RaAyAp]

Sorry for the late reply. To be honest, I find it too distractive. Furthermore, like you said, the accuracy is a problem. As a pilot I would never recommend doing 270kts indicated on final approach ;-) I do appreciate however all the work you put into it, but I wouldn't mind if there was a version without. Looking forward to the video today and wish you a great weekend!

[@zogozogy98]

do Newquay to Heathrow :)

[@TheCryptKeeper8]

can i ask what device you're using for listening to Comms. thanks.

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

Interesting livery! I kept wondering what those strange looking marks on the wings were. You rarely see livery designs extending onto the main wings.

[@noelphilips]

Haha yep great attention to detail!

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

Thanks!

[@abtravel0279]

Happy New Year, just wondering what website/app you used for the radar path

[@noelphilips]

Thank you! I use CloudAhoy to record the flight path, with a bit of messing around :)

[@abtravel0279]

cheers

[@mickeymouse4387]

Very cool

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for watching :)

[@speedbird643]

Interesting that they've brought a full club service back on the domestic flights though I suppose they had no choice with BoB becoming the newest thing at BA! Lovely weather for it!

[@noelphilips]

Yes they bought it back last year I believe. Still a little overkill for such a short flight but it was worth it for the experience :)

[@speedbird643]

I remember they'd give a cooked breakfast and a brew to the entire plane on the MAN-LGW flights; now that was always fun!

[@noelphilips]

It was quite funny not getting our breakfast and coffee until we were in the hold at Bovingdon, and all cleared away by final approach!

[@speedbird643]

Buy On Board - not a particularly popular fellow when you're hungry!

[@tobiasstoppe9360]

Genau dieses Flugzeug hab ich in London-Gattwick gesehen

[@noelphilips]

Tolle! Es ist ein sehr schönes Flugzeug.

[@iron6212]

Happy New Year, I'm new and was just wondering if these are of you travelling frequently or prerecorded. Still awesome nonetheless👍

[@noelphilips]

Happy New Year! And welcome to inflight Video :) . They are a mix - I make a filming trip around once a month where I film 4-5 flights and then release every couple of weeks. Sometimes the order gets messed up - when I have trips close together for example. I also make a vlog from each filming trip and this one will be next week - so it will give you a good idea of how I film these :)

[@iron6212]

inflight Video Cool that’s awesome! Thanks for satisfying my curiosity lol. I found your channel because I was going on my first flight since I was 4 years old haha and was nervous. The videos helped a lot. I now have a small obsession with planes 😂

[@brethammett9549]

When is schedule in Houston TX?

[@enoy4757]

Can you fly from Stavanger to Manchester or opposite with low cost airline "Norwegian"

[@tomcat3644]

Inflight what is your favorite airlines

[@noelphilips]

In the world: Qatar Airways. In Europe: Lufthansa :)

[@planewatcher7604]

Are u going to do more flights from Leeds bradford

[@noelphilips]

Possibly - I still have a night flight to release from AMS-LBA. Let me know if you're interested in seeing it :)

[@hazar66]

What's the next video? And when are you posting the following: STN > HAM HAM > STN CLT > DFW DFW > SEA SEA > DFW SFO > DFW EDI > EMA BHX > JER JER > BHX

[@noelphilips]

Next video is the vlog from this trip - next Friday. The HAM flights will come eventually but for now they're VIP only. Same for CLT-DFW and many of the others. JER-BHX, EDI-EMA will be coming very soon it's just that I have so many others to release I'm kind of saving those :)

[@MrGriser]

I thought club world got there own dedicated bus or was it completely full?

[@noelphilips]

No we got our own dedicated bus :)

[@MrGriser]

Surprised it was full and standing club world isn't that big is it? there seem to be seats up at the back.

[@pentadavies4303]

I saw the same plane at London Heathrow airport and I saw you but my sister didn't see you and same terminal

[@Suursaadik]

1:08:31 - I see for the first time! 😀

[@yudahgrosberg5621]

What is the point of flying from Manchester to London it's much quicker going by train if u include all the waiting time in the airport

[@michaelkitchin9665]

You're usually connecting to a further flight afterwards.

[@maulanwong3841]

cool

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for watching :)

[@maulanwong3841]

I have an idea can you make a full flight video from fort Lauderdale to some place else or from some place else to fort Lauderdale if possible

[@noelphilips]

It is on our radar we hope we might can do something this year. -Lance

[@sergeyryltsov1796]

What is it // club Europe//

[@jackking3470]

short haul business class for BA

[@noelphilips]

Yep business class on the European flights. Essentially you get a free meal and lounge access rather than buy on board.

[@lindenbeck]

At 1:18 you can see the Olympic Stadium. Can't you?

[@Ayp04]

I’m flying this route I’m August, before getting another flight to Miami!! This was over £1000 cheaper than going straight to London, anyone know why as I’m paying for not flight time? But it doesn’t matter as I’m closer to Manchester anyway! 😊💓Great video though

[@billyfitch1021]

Happy new year even tho it was 6 days ago 😂

[@noelphilips]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@angeltransportpjects]

No WAY does G-EUPA still carry this colour scheme?????????!!!!!! Which was originally applied in 2012 to commemorate the London 2012 Olympic Games and given the title 'Olympic Dove' at the time. Given the usual life expectancy or shelf life of such colour schemes with so many other Carriers when applied this has already broken the industry record for longevity to my knowledge with regard to a single aircraft wearing it! Sister ship G-EUPB which carried the second 'London 2012 Olympics' inspired colour scheme (Olympic Flame) has been now repainted following heavy maintenance and in line with what usually applies when these colour schemes appear. With the use of decals spreading in popularity some of the less extensively painted or amended 'logo jets' such as so many of the Emirates Airbus A380s there have been disappear just weeks after modification: The more extensive and total repaints survive the longest and tend to disappear when heavy maintenance and overhaul takes place enabling Carriers to revert back to standard colour schemes. The record holder to my knowledge is (was?) Etihad Airways with Airbus A330-203 A6-EYE which carries their blue 'Manchester City Football Club' inspired colour scheme. Prior to that QANTAS held the record for the length of time Boeing 747-438 VH-OJB carried the 'Wunala Dreaming' colours as passed onto (inherited by) a Boeing 747-438ER during the late 2000s because it proved to be so popular: However 'One Colour Scheme / Multiple Aircraft Carriage' does not count here :o)

[@angeltransportpjects]

Just been told G-EUPH still in these colours as well ... So that's two aircraft in this scheme still?! Facts still stand about colour scheme's original intention and record breaking shelf life: I'm going to look into whether or not the significance of this livery changed and resulted in it's retention thinks me :o)

[@brethammett9549]

+InFlight Hello how are you? I am fine doing good. That will try want to wish to your new Schedule flight. New Boeing 747-200 From London Uk to Houston IAH TX USA. That will try want to your new Seat 48A or 51A or 45L or 49A window to wings please. Your video GoPro Hero Record all 14 Hours Done thank you.

[@annoyedworm5664]

Some of the flying patterns are just weird to me. 😏✈💺🛬

[@noelphilips]

Haha yep definitely, especially on approach to London when they stack everybody in holding patterns!

[@angeltransportpjects]

Fastest BA Super Shuttle airtime just out of interest was chalked up by one of the Boeing 757s back in July 1990: BA4453 which completed the trip in around 17.5 minutes with G-BMRI assigned that day. Only needed 15,000 feet before descent was required so I was informed: Only cleared to 17,000 feet anyway with shortened trip expected that day but a longer airtime had been estimated. Was on that flight myself at the start of a three week spotting trip to the London Airports. Informed of 'smashed record' when I asked BA flight ops out of interest during trip :o)
