Teşekkürler.

Thank you

[@Radictor44]

25:54 omg that view and the music just took me so off guard emotionally. What a paradise! When that first island/lagoon comes into view, wow!

[@thetragicyouth]

Nothing beats drone footage of the Maldives - it's just glorious. 😊😊😊

[@kjh23gk]

The aerial shots of the Maldives were otherworldly. And you selected just the right music to pair it to!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx

[@tomsoden1738]

Love it. A350 for me these days but I still love the feeling of being upstairs on a 747

[@morgan97475]

Looks like BA has stepped up their game a bit.....very nice. My only issue with BA in the past had been the crew service. I'd like to check out this new Business Class.

[@Emalani]

Oh I love this. Air travel always feels so exciting and wonderful. Everything from being at the airport to the plane trip, landing, and being in a new place. Thank you!

[@wojtekkochan6942]

Loving the airplane footage always. The suspense is simply killing me. I can never get enough of your Maldives content!!! Fly Safe

[@stevebaker6149]

Finally! And after all these years and for only the second time, you chose the meal I would have chosen. Brilliant report as always.

[@omarijoseph3189]

Maldives is such a magical place...just awesome hotels and views...

[@leesimpson1677]

This is a significant upgrade. One of my main issues with BA was the design of their business class where you had to climb over people if you wanted to get out of your window seat. This is more like the business class on Qatar airlines. Finally BA looks like they have made an effort to compete with the main carriers. I might be prepared to fly with them again as I usually avoid travelling with BA, unless I can't avoid it. As usual, another excellent report. I love the Maldives so I am looking forward to your next few reviews. 👍

[@HelloOnepiece]

Qatar is a bad example imo, considering they have like 5 different business class seats

[@leesimpson1677]

@@HelloOnepiece An oversight on my part. I should have been more specific and mentioned their Q seats.

[@ukdavepianoman]

I avoided BA as much as possible for many years (in premium cabins), but now they are reconfiguring some routes with much better business class I'm keen to fly with them again (and have done) as part of OneWorld and being based in UK.

Looking into going to maldives after Christmas 2023.i can't wait to experience those views.good to see BA upping there game with people like emmerits snapping at there heels they needed to.another fabulous video. 😊

[@jhendin]

I flew British Airways once, but it was back in the days when it was called BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). It was when Brits were still counting their money by twelves, not tens. The UK entered the modern age by going decimal in 1971. I don't remember much about the service other than the fact it was very friendly. Lord, I'm really showing my age here.

[@rudigerortmann7192]

Don´t worry James, I flew British European Airways (BEA) in 1972 from Berlin to London with a Comet 4B. I do not remember very much of this flight. My favorite plane is the A380 in business of Qatar Airways.

[@ashotofmercury]

I bet people still dressed up to fly then too?..... 🤔

[@jhendin]

@@ashotofmercury They certainly didn't take their shoes off and then put their feet on top of the seat in front of them. I dread the idea of ever flying steerage, excuse me, economy class again.

Another new, detailed description of the flight. Keep up the good work!❤

[@Loupadron2010]

What a beautiful detailed video as always. I do keep track of where I am flying over when I fly. what a beautiful business class on British Airways. I am shocked that they did not provide pajamas and slippers. Also a little dingy on the toiletries from the white company and colgate none other an American brand toothpaste but a tiny tiny little toothpaste tube. Great landing on Male's international airport.

[@mrkc10]

Another great video detailing the product offered by BA. Certainly looking forward to the upcoming videos of the resorts you’ve named. What a magical place to visit. The views are stunning to say the least.

[@cdnshark19]

Great trip report! I always love the music you pick for the initial descent into the destination!

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

Great stuff as always, LTE! I had opportunity to fly the updated Club Suite last year and was pleasantly surprised! At least imo, it felt like a nice improvement over the previous product.

Happy Saturday! Beautiful video of the flight. I was so entranced when the plane took off the atmosphere in my headset made me feel almost as if I was there and my anxiety started! how funny but that is just a testament to how amazing your videos area. I would love to fly BA someday and definitely to the Maldives! More things to dream about. Every Saturday you bring the world to me in a way that I just truly appreciate and thank you for what you do!

[@seasplendor4441]

The first plane I flew on as a child was a 747 (back when they were new). To this day that airframe has a special place in my heart.

[@sainnt]

Bucket list for sure. I plan on doing this either before the end of this year or sometime next year.

[@jamesmilne5979]

have flown BA since 1976 1st flight was a BAC trident edinburgh to london heathrow and the latest one was a b 777 to tampa florida last year, have always felt safe with british airways this new business class seats really have stepped up in my opinion must keep up with the middle east airlines like emirates which are fantastic

[@ZGundam83]

I flew the new Club Suites on a B777 from LHR to PHL in late March and absolutely loved it. I had to rebook my flight and was downgraded from First to Business. I thought I was getting the old Club World seats, but when I saw the new Club Suites, I was excited. I found it better than the First Class seats on both the B777 and B787. I especially enjoyed the privacy door, the leg room, direct access to the aisle, and pull out tray from under the IFE screen.

[@TheMaartian]

I flew BA a lot back in the '90s and early '00s. Their Business Class in the 747-400 was dreadful. First Class wasn't a whole lot better, and upgrades from Business between London and my home in Scottsdale (Phoenix) were really hard to come by. These new Business Class suites are better than the First Class seats in American's 777s of the time. I flew them twice per month from Chicago to Tokyo and then from London back to Chicago. I'd have loved to have these new Business Class suites as the First Class product back then. Happily retired and thankful I'm not still flying 300K to 400K miles per year.

[@ZGundam83]

@@TheMaartian Speaking of the B747. I’m flying First Class on a B747-8i from FRA to IAD in December. I’m really looking forward to my first and possibly only flight on a B747.

I flew BA from Glasgow to London when I took my trip to the UK in 2019. I found them to be comparable to American Airlines here in the states ( which I consider just a step below Delta. It was a pleasant flight and crew was very helpful and friendly.

I am partial to the 747 but because my grandfather flew them as one of their top senior pilots for TWA back in the day. He flew the Polar route from SFO to LHR.

[@JoshSmith-xm4gz]

Great review

[@genevamerrick1833]

BRAVO ... BRAVO !!!

[@GAZZA888]

777 is my favourite aircraft now that 747 is gone. British airways have the best pilots.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip here!!! First off, the 777s are my second favorite to the 747-400s that I use to fly with my former airline. Hahaha! Laughing a bit!! Hahaha! But I have to say the Club World Business Class section there looked very nice. So, British Airways has three sections there and that is good. Your seat looked very nice!! I would also like to sit in that first section of the Business Class as well. I think you would get a quieter area and your meal service looked good also. It was good many people went to sleep on this flight looking at from your night video of your walking around!! Well, I see upon your arrival landing their government is building a new terminal building!!! That looks like it will be very nice but for now their airport has jet stairs and a bus service to take you to the present baggage area. Finally, the resort hotel photos take my breath away!!!! So beautiful to see from the air!!! Wow!!! Just wow!!! So, each hotel has cabanas or overwater suites set up floating in the ocean's coral reef areas there!!! Again, thank you for your flight video!!!!

I flew on an 10 hour ish flight from LH to male international in economy, everything was exceptional. Especially the crew

[@ljcor1899]

Teasing us with Another excellent video before seeing the upcoming new Maldives ultralux vids. Liked the new BA business class. Got to fly it last December from miami. Def a game changer for them as their old business class seats were/are not the most comfortable and tech/designed friendly. Looking fwd to next week’s production.

[@kawangkwok5262]

In my mind British Airways may not be the top notch hardware airline, but the service always great. This new suite is really cool, taking window seats doesn't feel like "drill in the closet". And lesson learnt, flying to/ from Maldives, should take a window seat, the view is specular! Finally, thank you expert, cannot wait for the few weeks of hotel videos!

[@annivali4356]

Thanks for another informative and wonderful video. I don't have a favourite aircraft. The bigger the better for me. I think I've flown on Airbuses most. But the smaller short-haul ones unfortunately. I'm a teacher and have a couple of real aviation enthusiasts in my class. Imagine 13 to 14-year-old boys who instantly drop everything at the sight of a flying plane and start discussing it in great detail. We had our last day at school yesterday, they got their report cards and then I got to know they were off to the airport for a bit of plane spotting (they do that often and will even write a research paper on it next year). In about an hour I received a video of a British Air Force aircraft taking off from Tallinn Airport. Such fun. Love to see such interest and enthusiasm in young kids. Gives me hope for the future. 😁

[@worldwalkerwoman]

Nice video as always, thanks 😍👍

[@CaptainPeterRMiller]

I love British Airways. Last June on the way to Denmark from LHR, my luggage was lost for 8 weeks. That included my brand new 4K drone, my brand new 4k camera and all my clothes, of course. I had a wonderful 10 Days in Denmark, and then my nephew and I flew home to Australia. When he was ready to leave 7 weeks later, my luggage arrived home, after hiding in LHR for 8 weeks. Amazingly, it was complete and untouched. Thank you British Airways. That was when EVERYONE lost luggage. Keep smiling.

[@jamesadcock5235]

I like the sliding door some dont have that. It's nice to have the choice

[@TheflyingBrit]

I’ve flown British Airways first class from Boston on the 747 and business class from Washington D.C, Bahrain, Dubai, Norway, Greece, Turkey. The service has been amazing but slightly slow on meals but other than that superb

[@dennismoore8351]

My favorite will always be the Boing 747. The most beautiful airplane ever built. I wish they would make a comeback.

[@McGubbins42]

It's good to see that BA have improved upon their woeful Club World seats. I was surprised to see that you blur out the faces of staff and a couple of other passengers but not all of them, and none of the people in the terminal building. An interesting choice.

[@suzannedougan4923]

Thanks for the great video. I am flying BA in April and I wish it was the type of plan like you were on. Mine has four across the center so I think you have to climb over someone who’s in the middle to get to the restroom. Not the best layout of seats. But maybe by the time I fly, I’ll get on one of these flights instead. I look forward to your upcoming videos.

[@kfing1]

Flew 777 to LA from Auckland. Was really good. Still haven't flown A380. Might have to do Sydney to Singapore. Goals.

[@EileenR11]

I fly BA long haul fairly regularly. I like the generally friendly service and feel quite safe on the planes. I like also that pilots talk to you as that eases my nerves. Their food hasn't been great for the last year or so. Cue lots of feedback from me and other passengers (staff told me). Mostly these days I am in premium economy as flights so dear, but even in business I had some poor food. Yours looked pretty nice and I am hopeful they are going to improve. I didn't know there were lounges in the B and C gates and will try those next month.
