[@douglasnogueira6849]

8:20 - 8:23 the best shot of whole video: the all beacon amd taxiway lights flashing, the airplanes, the sunset, and the music. God it´s perfect

[@maranza9907]

Definitely

[@ticoman90]

Si true

[@jayd1426]

The 747 will always be close to my heart. A timeless classic

[@bayareaaviation17]

Jay Deshpande Yeah same!!!

[@RoadCone411]

I agree. Have flown this route several times over the past few years and I love the BA 747s. There is just something majestic about them; the B777 just isn’t the same.

[@Mike6867]

Jay Deshpande amen brother amen

[@Sonichronik]

Its sad that BA have since got rid of them all.

[@Perich29]

the 747 has been cash for clunker 2 years ago.

[@pr1ncesspink267]

So sad that the 747 will be missed, it did a remarkable job thank you for your service

[@brandonmmmmmmmm3293]

I just love this video great music big planes and sunset at jfk can't get any better

[@williamguy7969]

The spotting at JFK was awesome!

[@lonefather]

I have not flown on British Airways, but had been on 747-400s with Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, China Airlines, Malaysia Air, and China Easters. All were great in-flight experiences.

[@qantas1136]

Nice trip. The 747 is still the best passenger aircraft to this day.

[@loripenzato9219]

Beautiful views of NYC and Long Island!!!! I love the British Airways livery. Next time I fly overseas I would like to sit in the Upper Deck!!!

[@ryanridder4576]

London is such a great place!

[@pierrenine5775]

Thanks for another great trip report Quintin. Magical views at and during the ascent from JFK.

[@natea6348]

Your footage of the London Bridge and Thames River, and the castle are well put together. The music is a nice touch as well. I was in London for about 5 days in May 2019 and loved it. Amazing views, and different than America. I also flew with British Airways, and thought they did a nice job. I'd love to go back to Europe one day, and your videos give me a glimpse of traveling, which is nice. Keep up the good work 👍

[@dlbrittain1976]

london tour reminds me of when I was there....way back in the 80s..during my 2 week reserve tour at RAF Mildenhall

[@jayd1426]

3:00 that sound when you board a 747 always gives me excitement. I wonder where it comes from

[@PortlandAviation]

APU maybe? idk :P

[@tiara747]

Most deffo! That sound (of the APU) that you hear when you're on the airbridge near the door is such an exciting thing! it makes my tummy butterflies jump...if that makes any sense?! Nothing like it, and only really works with a 747 don't you think?

[@hectorruiz513]

There's certain emergency motor operation in the jet engine that allows to power the 747, otherwise there will not have power.

[@brodyswiatek1152]

I remember when I went on BA economy and I loved it!

[@TheMasterhomaster]

Brody Swiatek so 20 years ago?

[@craigwillis3372]

Some great plane spotting at the start !! Thanks for the take off vision and sound...loved it !! Pretty good flight with BA by the look of it and some reasonable leg room at the back of the bus!! Well done as always and I look forward to your next adventure !!

[@QFSAviation]

Thank you! I appreciate it Craig

[@Waldo1411]

The most enjoyable Trip Reports! Can't get any better 😆

[@roasthunter]

I flew to Florida from Gatwick in the summer on a Virgin 747 (economy), frankly, it looked pretty much identical to BA. You get a seat, you get some food, you get some entertainment on a small screen in front of you, it takes hours.

[@dlbrittain1976]

just want to say, after watching you almost 2 years you are doing a very professional presentation....I love it Q :)

[@eyeglasslady9266]

Well done! I love the 747! Your vlogs are among the best since you create an ambience with music and special effects. ✈️👍👏

[@mulberryjohn7413]

For an “ aging 747 “, the “ol Gal looks pretty good - Here’s to the Queen of the Skies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@avationgeek.1217]

@Adam Daniel No plane can beat the 747.

[@nycflyertravel]

The Queen of the Skies! An all time classic

[@nmx1978]

Love your camera work, I can tell you love the planes. Awesome outside view too!

[@87jello]

Something about the 747 that's just so...eye-catching

[@stang8160]

Cool video. I have done the SFO-LHR route several times on BA, and to your point, it was very hit-or-miss. When they were still flying the 747-400's, it was mostly a miss in Economy. However, since the A380's came online for that route, it was a definite hit for me--I paid a little more and always got one of the aisle and window seat pairs in the last couple of rows on the upper deck.

[@nenblom]

The 747, one of the greatest airliners ever built! RIP

[@gayathrirajesh8204]

I always like your intro song it’s so good and I like the song when your were going in a car to terminal

[@finalascent]

I flew that airline and plane to Amsterdam Schipol last year. Terminal 7 isn't especially comfortable, but I felt it exuded a quirky charm. Both outbound and return flight segments were enjoyable, even in main cabin - staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

[@medhashas]

Thanks for recording the sites of London, that was very special 😍

[@MadeiraAirport]

Really awesome colours on taxi for takeoff and amazing views after the takeoff!

[@johnsymons76]

Quentin, your photography at JFK before takeoff and also during the climb out was fantastic! I think it may be the best you have done so far! Keep up the good work! Take care and Happy Travels! ♥️🛫🌐

[@s7rap]

I’m going on a flight from London to New York 747 British Airways Economy and I have never been on British so I immediately went to you and surprisingly you made a video about it yesterday.

[@PHXPlanespotter]

Great trip report as always 👍 The old 747 is still my favorite airliner! So regal looking! Keep up the great work:)

[@luckyme4136]

Looks like you really enjoyed the flight. So lucky!

[@juangallego7197]

In late 1996 my family and I flew from Heathrow to Santiago de Chile in a brand new 747-400, also on British Airways. It would be too much of a coincidence if that plane was still around...

[@QuarioQuario54321]

I legit thought this was simply aviation but it isn’t

[@PortlandAviation]

Yeah, so did I :P not used to flights outside of the US

[@AJL_90]

Honestly I sometimes get confused between the two of them since their logos look similar.

[@santonioepicgamer4yt983]

lol

[@brandonmmmmmmmm3293]

both are great

[@KAF345]

@@brandonmmmmmmmm3293 true

[@jay-ti5js]

This is my first video I’ve seen of yours and I really enjoy the way you report. Airport, other classes and your seat and just overall easy and comprehensive review. Subscribed for sure 👍🏾

[@marvabaker961]

Yes mine too. Travelled from Jamaica to London, sat upstairs. Brilliant 9.5 hrs.

[@planedudea380]

You've come along with your trip reports. Very nice.

[@Josh-ck8yf]

The sunrise on departure 😍😍

[@indiaball5233]

Its sunset

[@brandonmmmmmmmm3293]

Love this sunset takeoff and music

[@Andy1076]

Ah..good to see the beautiful 747 still shining bright :)

[@PlanesTrainsFan]

British Airways have just annouced that these classic planes are to be retired from their fleet. Now I will have to go to Lufthansa for a chance to fly on them.

[@sr.elitekj]

Dude your plane spotting and trip reports are relley good

[@paulspindler5849]

Looks a lot better inside than when I went down to Miami on one of there 747-400’s in premium economy the seat was mainly held together with tape !

[@georgecosta7209]

Great video. Especially like the 🌇 views of Manhattan and that shot of the wing (15:00) with the stars was awesome. Flight looked packed. Read somewhere (Business Insider)?, that JFK-LHR is the only billion $ route in the world. Amazing when you think about it.

[@planesense7390]

Great Job! wow you have really gotten professional and kudos for keeping it Aviation oriented. I feel like most of the other big aviation bloggers have sold out, they all speed up the takoff and barely show any footage that aviation fans love..

[@RayRay-kl3yz]

1st time watching your video and good job. Love the 747 and for a older plane it looks it good shape. Bummer BA did not offer a better Breakfast for an International Flight. Till the next video and thanks!

[@michaelsharp3615]

i got the tail numbers of the plane from flightradar and planespotters helped me thats because southwest airlines has the same flight number from previous flights and tracked it coming in all my flights arrived early

[@jamani1086]

hi qman. i sure do like your reports, they are awesome! thanks for sharing. fly safe my friend.

[@aviationfascination]

Great report man! Keep them coming!

[@QFSAviation]

Thank you Nate

[@Batman-jc5uc]

In Octobet I flew direct from JFK to Manila. 16 and a half hours. You should do a report on that flight. It is with Philippine Airlines.

[@AlbanesJeff]

Interesting flight! as always, removed and mounted at a good level.

[@lmanirban1575]

This flight 747-400 holds a record of fastest flight as it touches 825miles/hour to cross atlantic ocean.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very nice on the 747-400. Fly safe always...

[@floridaspotter]

Ever stayed at the TWA hotel? Just went there recently. Really awesome, exceeded ALL expectations

[@rmknicks]

Yes! It's like nothing else.

[@revolutions88]

Love the colour grading 👍

[@jamani1086]

Thanks QFS !!!

[@EternalFootman-kr6yx]

I remember taking a British Airways 747 from JFK to Heathrow in 1985. Economy was called coach. We had 2 full meals,, a snack in between, free liquor and 3 to 4 extra inches of legroom . You people today think this is something special to get a meal like you were born yesterday. We know we get a meal!

[@ShivDewan99]

Great report as always Quintin. Quick suggestion. Music is good at times, but to be perfectly honest I much prefer when music is kept to an absolute bare minimum in trip reports, especially considering it played through nearly all of the taxi, climb, descent, and even meal service. A lot of us watch these videos to not only see how the trip was but also to feel like we're there, so music playing through most of the video kind of takes away from that. Just my two cents!

[@sedition1142]

Love this video 😁 I’m looking into London to NYC for March 2021 & taking my parents & brother. I’ve never been & my parents have never been and I want them to experience it at least once in a lifetime. It’s gonna be expensive (may need a little loan) lol but it’ll be worth it 🙂🙏🏼

[@brandonmmmmmmmm3293]

So beautiful 😍😍😍

[@herenow6953]

I flew out of LHR to SIN on SQ on 9th August 😊 great video and really super shots of depart during sunset - subscribed

[@franciskundukulam821]

I like the BA livery, especially that curved ribbon ...

[@SkyHighGuys]

Always an awesome property coming from QFS!

[@TheLT704]

Great stuff 👍..but I'm wondering what end of Heathrow airport did you land at ?? A previous video I watched had a similar landing..

[@dlbrittain1976]

as always.....thanks for sharing your trip with us Q :)

[@melvyncox3361]

Very informative video mate!l think some these 747s have been refurbished as far as l know. Not a big fan of BA though,but,on the plus side,great to see the 747s in service👍!

[@dlbrittain1976]

wish I had a time machine.....you guys would be doing this on a BA Concorde.........

[@jamesosa3482]

THANK YOU FOR THIS. MY SEAT IS WINDOW SEAT ON 44 RIGHT SIDE AND I NEEDED TO KNOW HOW CLOSE THE WINDOW IS TO THE SEAT.

[@avationgeek.1217]

I always get window seats but never shut the blind cos I love them too much

[@alexmathews7658]

Sad to see the ending of the B747 production. This my favourite aircraft. It's really sad to see it disappear. Maybe we can launch a worldwide campaign to ask going not to stop it.

[@franciskundukulam821]

Let us salute the inventors of this amaaazing technology every time we are airborne...

[@nenblom]

Aging but still nice looking!! One of my favorite liveries is the fairly new Southwest livery. I also like Scandinavian Airlines.

[@sib7915]

Great report. Thanks for sharing

[@ArchieVenezuela]

I like all your trip reports, it would be nice if you can report Bogotá dfw american airlines, thanks in advance!

[@anonym-eb9cx]

The app Flight Radar is so good

[@bar10ml44]

Excellent. Thank you from London.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks!

[@thomaspawley8834]

14:05 the lid for the cake came from Iberia as you can see the Iberia tail on the plastic lid

[@RoadCone411]

Who is this Kelvin Seamount? Seriously, some great video of leaving New York at sunset! Wonderful! You actually made JFK look quite appealing! Nice shot of the Virgin B744 on its way to MAN in the fading twilight! I happen to be a big fan of the BA 747s and I have generally had good service on my flights to/from London. I may only have a few more chances to fly them, but I also want to try VS’s new A350s.

[@colinparis3033]

would love to see u fly the 787 dreamliner from charleston sc to london

[@kanehi]

Good review of your flight. Looks like a doable trip.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks! It was definitely doable, just a bit uncomfortable

[@harim9980]

That B747 is a year younger than me (I was born in 1995). Anyways, love your videos. Greetings from Chicago

[@williamguy7969]

Love your videos man!

[@JaydenWong]

[@isabellefarrand444]

Omg I can’t get over the views so pretty 😍😍😍

I’d like to eventually take the flight from JFK-FRA

[@legendarydaniel_.6883]

I also saw the delta 767-400 BCRF in person at ATL

[@juliensvideography]

excellent video

[@QFSAviation]

Thank you

[@Iverson3N7Vick]

Top notch editing!

[@bullpro6308]

sorry im gonna say it.. ive watched a couple of your videos now and I always wanna cover my ears when the intro music plays.

[@rictan6866]

Try the Philippines airlines is the great airlines you will love it?

[@cjrobertson8359]

The seat looks very well cushioned!!

[@leothekitten9810]

That football stadium was I think Stamford bridge or something

[@OKosio]

great video and report. which camera you use on the city close ups ?

[@thecitytraveller1318]

The Queen of the sky forever

[@aryadamarsatria8122]

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

Awesome video

[@ms_unbothered_af]

I really do like the boeing 747! 😀
