British Airways First Class Boeing 777 | London to Johannesburg trip report (+ Concorde Room)

[@richardmccarthy9580]

Have never been to Concorde Room but many years ago my wife and I were in a very quiet BA Business Class lounge at Heathrow on a Sunday morning. We had seats adjacent to the excellent views across the apron. Returning from a shower I noted one other passenger in the lounge who had chosen to sit very close despite the empty spaces, rather ruining our privacy. With hindsight realised the seat he was in was a unique corner with walls on 2 sides so with a large newspaper open and strategically aligned you would not see who it was unless standing nearby…..as I was. By the way the other passenger was the film star Hugh Grant !

So good to see you taking long flights again. I love how you confided that you were emotional at takeoff. There is something very emotional about flying. The footage and music of Namibia gave me goosebumps! Can't wait.

[@salemwildfire]

That flight attendant at 30:23 was the highlight of the whole video. Adorable. Excellent video as always, can't wait until next week!

[@rmackrm]

Agreed.

[@R.I.S.69]

The soundtrack at 1:28, 'Eyes Wide Open' is perfect for holiday vlogs 😄

[@denisebonnell7610]

British Airways is the only airline I use to and from East Africa - 27 years now. I just really love this airline. I am so happy you are flying to all of these incredible places again. I can't wait!! The music you chose for the end of this video was just beautiful!! Safe travels!!

[@SamMadiavision]

It’s not a real First Class but a super business class. Thanks for the share. Pix on Namibia are awesome ! Bravo et merci

[@MEJF1705]

12:15 Oh wow, I just wanna say that I have watched your videos every single day one of your videos

[@Laura-vn2go]

I worked on T5 in 2005 and remember walking across the enormous building site with my hard hat and yellow work boots and stopped where you’re filming the Concorde lounge. I was only a tech clerk but got to see Concorde flying through 2003 and then take its last flight - all from the portacabin on site. The noise made my coffee cup rumble on the desk each morning. Such an exciting time. I got to see Europe’s longest escalator installed and walk the length of T5 when it was just a concrete shell with a marvellous roof. I still have the opening ceremony paperweight on my desk. I really miss it all, thank you for sharing.

[@LizLyonsPhD]

The end of this video made me want to cry. I so feel for this planet. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative flight. I have flown British Airways, but not first class. I have never been to the Concorde lounge. In general I like Heathrow and all things British for their efficiency and order. This could be in part because I am of English descent, partially, and their ways make sense to me, are familiar. Your videos are treasures.

[@ericl6333]

The last 3 minutes of this video just take my breath away. The spectacular view, the music.. simply surreal!

[@Radictor44]

oh wow, those ending shots are breath taking!

[@rosepelzel4244]

The lounge looked very nice!! So I expected a bit ' more ' of a first class seat. I'm very glad you listed your menu choices. But, I'd also like to know if you enjoyed your meal! 😃 Your music selection is always wonderful ... thank you! The landing was really smoothe ... always a plus!! Congratulations, dear LTE, on your near 1 million followers!! Amazing feat and a great testimony to your talent!!!

[@acwiii1285]

Obviously I love the whole thing because this is the sort of stuff I geek out about, but the last three minutes of this absolutely got to me in a major way. What scenes and images. Just incredible footage. It isn't only the soaring, dramatic music (which doesn't hurt, to be fair). It's the place, the textures and those browns and blues, and the regal, magnificent animals you have for company. I cannot wait to see more. Well shot, mate. Thanks for all this, and safe traveling to you.

Your video is the 6th video I seen this week about Johburg, so I that’s a sign that’s it’s time to go. Especially since I have not been to the African continent yet, that’s a great place to start. Great video!

I can’t begin to tell you, that not only was the video of the flight amazing and wonderful but the ENDING. When I say that the imagery, the music, the content, it hit me right in my soul. The spirit of Africa, the sunsets, hot air balloon and the glorious animals and nature. Wow what an ending. Life is so beautiful. I’m so thankful.

[@OrganistProTemp]

On return trip from Londong to NYC's JFK I was upgraded to first class. I was able to enjoy the comforts of BA Concorde Lounge. It was wonderful to be treated with civility. Flying should always be first class. If I could, I would only travel first class to any and all destinations. It was an experience I will not soon forget.

[@MrOu83]

Is that all to the Concorde Lounge? Where are the private sleeping rooms, showers, private lockers, piano, TVs, business/meeting rooms w/computers, printers, etc.? The dining experience looks nice, and the decor is nice, but overall, the IGA Lounge at Istanbul Airport offers far more amenities.

[@sharonbraselton4302]

Dankjewel voor de leuke comment 😉

[@carriedebehnke6209]

I used to watch a variety of travel vlogs, but I'm down to yours only. I appreciate the way you present them without injecting too much of yourself into the telling. I find many of these travel "personalities" to be either annoying or arrogant. Very excited for the Namibia footage! Thank you for doing such a beautiful job!

[@jimboland4161]

The first time I flew first class was when I was 24. We flew from Seattle, WA to London on British Airways ! I was amazed on the service, food and the big leather seats! I received socks and a shaving kit. When I fly coach I receive a bag of nuts.

As always, just wonderful. Thank you also for the outstanding music/mix that for sure, takes a lot of time in the editing process.

Wow! That Namibia footage was just stunning! I moved to Zambia as a baby and after Dubai also lived in the bush in Cameroun. Africa is truly special.

[@johnc7770]

Now THAT is first class. Take heed American Carriers !

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

Awesome video as always! I have been fortunate to fly BA a number of times, usually on long haul to/from America. I agree with your overall assessment: Excellent service/product in First, but still felt a lot like Business class. (to be fair, the one time we flew F we were burning a ton of AAdvantage miles before one of their previous devaluations hit). And similar to your comments, the Concorde Room was a heck of a treat. We very much enjoyed the time there. Outside of the Concorde Room, however, I can't say I see a justification to spend the huge amount of extra money to jump from BA Business into First. Looking forward to the next videos though! The scenery out there looks epic!

[@jafongaro]

Yes, we visited the Concorde Room twice in Mid October. Thank you for the fond memories! Looking forward to our next visit.

I have an interview for a private jet rental company on Tuesday. I applied way back in early December and didn't hear anything until yesterday, hours after my boss's boss I've only said 20 words to all week fired me at the start of my fifth day there. I'm hoping the timing of their call back and this video are good signs of what's to come. It'll be my most nerve-wracking interview ever because I've never been unemployed without already having something else lined up. Wish me luck! I've always had an interest in luxury travel and really want this opportunity.

[@kandikidzora]

I just have to ask, is your name a reference to the EDM nightcore? Because if so that’s amazing!! Also good luck on all your interviews!

What a lovely thing to see you back flying Long Haul. I gotta say, that's a decent C Class product BA's flogging there. The significant thing is you're back. Your COVID video (about your experience) was one of the best PSAs about the whole experience. Good health to you!

Thank you so very much for posting this video... you could never understand how much it means to someone like me, to finally be able to experience what first class would be like. Everyone should be able to experience a First Class flight, (or at the very least, experience this video), before they leave this world. I think your video would go a long way to help someone relax and get the most out of their flight if they were a first-time flier in British Airways First Class. Again, thank you for making and posting this video.

Flew home from Singapore with BA in Club World just before the pandemic struck. Flight time14 hours 10 minutes. Loved every minute of it. Even the 7 hours I slept for. Crew were amazing. I don’t understand all the flack BA get. Try that amount of time on an American carrier……………..

[@davidnixon2462]

I flew BA first class from Toronto to London a few years ago. I’m pretty sure I was the first person on the plane which was good because that night the boarding Computer kept crashing. It took two hours to get all the passengers on the plane. That said I was perfectly content in my pod seat while I waited. The thing I remember most though was the professionalism and the amazing service the flight crew provided that night.

Many years ago my wife and I were upgraded from Economy to Business Class flying in a BA 747 from Toronto to Heathrow. Unfortunately it was at a time when smoking was allowed, but never-the-less the experience was welcome. (A number of years later we were upgraded from Economy to Business Class on an Emirates 777 flight from Dubai to Manchester and that experience, and service, was far more pleasurable.)

Thanks for this LTE - another great clip. I am a big fan of BA Business Class on which I travel a lot directly to and from Jo'burg. Whilst it is great not to have a middle-of-the-night aircraft change more recently the Qatar Business class product has really, really raised the bar to even challenge, and some may say surpass, BA First Class. I have visited the Concorde Lounge and travelled BA first Class and I just think BA hasn't got either the Lounge or Cabin up at the required level which is disappointing given that the Business Class products are spot on. Come on BA - get up there with the best of them!!
