Have you flown with British Airways? What was your experience? Tell me below 👇

[@fenixvolt2777]

Can't wait for your New York vid, I'm a city girl and I loved New York, stayed at a hotel opposite Madison Square gardens 😊

[@azurealpaca]

Terrible. Took 1hr 16mins to check into the plane. On another flight (coming back), the plane was delayed 3 hours (inside the plane) then diverted to another airport entirely halfway through because they “forgot to call customs to stay open.” Also the WiFi never worked…

[@lindavis224]

Yes, few times to Australia. No complaints 👌

[@gregstar77]

Loved it. Can only compare with Iberia and Latam for a long flight, but BA is miles better, I reckon. T5 is superb to fly out from

[@ksm1985]

Short haul LHR>ISTANBUL, no reclining seats, no in flight entertainment, very poor leg room, only small bottle of water and nutri grain bar provided complimentary. In my opinion that is quite poor compared to similarly priced competitors.

[@MrGreendew2]

The eastbound flight is always quicker due to the 'jetstream' which is basically a channel of air (and also effects our weather) that pushes the plane thus making it fly faster.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I thought that lol

[@andrewwaller5913]

Indeed, prevailing winds towards the UK.

[@richd8907]

I thought it was because coming back the journey was downhill...

[@JLPCORR]

Yep

[@jackwatsonepic626]

​@@richd8907lol 🤣 🇬🇧

[@richard99cookify]

Even in 2023 I find there to be something very glamorous about flying from London to New York, great stuff.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

definitely

[@ahoang9069]

Yes until you land in JFK, the 'glamour' falls rapidly off a cliff at that point ...

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

@@ahoang9069 I remember getting into JFK from AKL on Air New Zealand (long flight!!) and there were two other flights one Korean Air and the other Lufthansa that arrived at the same time which packed the immigration hall, took us 50 minutes to finally see an officer, but thankfully was quickly out on the street with my bags afterwards. A few other people were continuing on to London or to mainland Europe so had to clear immigration and customs only to have to recheck their bags for their onwards trip with sterile transit obviously not being a thing in the U.S.

[@fruit_bat_Katt]

For someone that has never flown I appreciate these videos, thank you.

[@juliew1824]

New York! Fantastic. 🍎 . I dont know how he doesnt get knackered. I get knackered planning and executing a week in North Yorkshire.

[@Michelle-qd9gm]

We went with British airways in 2017 first class to new York for our honeymoon they could not do enough for us and me being disabled it meant a lot to me fully enjoyed it 😊

[@Plysdyret1]

I flew from London to Belfast, and it was my first time on board one of their planes. It was a nice and comfortable flight. The cabin was clean and the crew handed out pretzels and water. I have nothing to complain about when it comes to British Airways.

[@bendavis1563]

Tim, always look out for your videos. Always authentic and not trying to be someone you're not. Very refreshing!

[@Petersworld77]

There are so many flight reviewer on You tube that make it sound like unless you spend thousands it’s not worth flying. Good to see you made it to NY in one piece flying with the masses!

[@robyndavis3043]

Fastest way into the city, is the “AirTran”-take to the Jamaica station (transfer to either the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station, or Atlantic Terminal-if going to Brooklyn; or transfer to the “E” train to Manhattan); or the Howard Beach station (transfer to the “A” train, heading to Manhattan)

[@itsjoel]

You can get BA first seats for £2k or less return to the states on occasion, you have to look for the sale fares! Also it’s worth joining the executive club as it’s extremely easy to gain status and air miles which allows you to fly in higher cabins for not much money at all + loads of perks.

[@amysangha8195]

Thanks, your reviews are very useful and entertaining. Keep up the good work 😊

[@mattlebo2733]

Enjoy your insight on your trips. Keep up the good work.

[@paulross6727]

I'm a Brit from Newcastle but now live in Thailand. I've flown BA a lot. Good flight times, leave BKK late morning, arrive LHR with just a 2.5 hour wait for the flight up to NCL arriving 10.00pm. Total time from leaving BKK 16.5 hours. One thing you don't mention is the class between economy and business, it's about £130 more, well worth it, not only bigger seats with lots more leg room but you can use the business class lounge in LHR while waiting for the onward flight and your baggage is checked right through.

[@amandabeech8472]

Another lovely travel video. Thanks for sharing this with us. Safe travel to Lapland.

[@samhenwood5746]

Have a great flight ✈️ & thanks Tim 🌆🤗

[@amels_yt]

Absolutely loving your videos Tim! 🥳🥳

[@Rebecca_Bailey]

I love this channel, I always wonder where you’re going to go next!

[@traceybeerling3004]

Hi Tim fab vlog looking forward to seeing the vlogs . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey ❤Xxxx

[@kevinmottershaw5363]

Great to see you & Gaby again in Hemsby yesterday will be watching these for sure.👍

[@OldTrancer]

Thanks for the thorough step by step walkthrough of checking in and dropping the bag off. Very helpful.

[@CityzenAlex]

The exact journey my fiancé & I are taking in January… same airline, airport, so this really helped! Thanks Tim!

[@EmmaKelly74159]

Great video Tim, looking forward to the sights and sounds. Of America. Stay safe. 😘💚

[@Tanyalakergurl]

That entrance with the Union Jack is very cool, and I’m glad you finally found use for those pesky Daleks. Great video as always. 🙂

[@johnmarsden9916]

This guy and his family start in to become big thing. On KZbin well done ❤

[@StaceyCoxall]

Looking forward to seeing your New York series. Always wanted to visit!

[@prykey8674]

Thanks for this Tim! Going to New York for my husbands 40th in June so even more excited than I usually am for your videos! First time I convinced my husband to watch one of your videos with me given we are going to NYC and he was impressed!

[@earthlyvibes23]

Thanks for this, Heathrow is on my bucket list and one day I'll use it.

[@rileybennett8414]

Hi Tim such a good video 🙌 would love to see more of these types of vids in the future 🙂

[@gbrading]

I went through Heathrow Terminal 5 to New York earlier this year and unfortunately it was not this experience. It was incredibly busy and queueing for security took absolutely ages, with what felt like one queue for the entire terminal. I think if you go in out of peak times it's much better though. The flight itself was very good though despite being seated right at the back of the aircraft, we had an empty seat next to us which was nice.

[@oliviasmith6192]

Just recently stated watching your videos Tim. Love how you just stick to exactly what you are doing on your Travels and keep your dialogue on point. Had to laugh when you said about Ryanair and no Air freshener in their Plane toilets. Very true.

[@clivebuckland6902]

Thank You Tim another great Vlog. You always give a whole picture of your journeys including transportation giving a wonderful insight of your experiences which gives anyone considering a similar journey an insight of what to expect. Well Done Tim

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it Clive thank you

[@user-ms3hf4nk7z]

Thank you for the brilliant video Tim ❤

[@jonathanm2690]

Love the editing of New JFK as the plane was landing, that was very cool Tim :)

[@aranireland]

Love your videos Tim, only started watching by a suggestion because i love stuff about planes but your videos are lovely thanks dude

[@kamvc72]

Going to New york on thursday in BA from Heathrow . Your video seems quite helpful :)

[@johnson6684]

Very nice video to watch..humble person u r....keep it going mate...good info as always 🤝🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@averageday]

Woah! That was a quick upload! Haven’t watched it fully yet but excited now! Great intro!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jasonmurphy1417]

My most recent flight with BA was on the A380 to San Francisco in August. On that flight they served 2 meals & the food was good. The entertainment system you had on the that 777 is the same as the A380 & it’s a bit dated now. Some 777s have been updated & the 787 & A350 would have the new entertainment kit. When we landed in San Francisco it took well over an hour to get through security. My last trip to New York was in Dec 2015. It was great to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. My tip for that is to go at 6am in the morning as you have the Rockefeller Plaza to yourself with the all the Christmas lights lit.

[@77sun222]

Hi Tim Another fantastic vlog to look forward to🎉🎉

[@da.armaneh1089]

Great video, I'm a big fan of travel day video clips.

[@Emma-dv2yh]

Thank you for the airport nostalgia!

[@user-ij4pn5gd3p]

Love your channel - you have opened the travel bug in myself

[@joannejohnson]

Great blog of your flight Tim👍😊

[@lindadee6603]

Great video Tim 😊 Thank you 👍👍👍👍

[@diamonddia5545]

Great video as usual Tim. Can't wait for you to explore some lovely places in Austria-Vienna 1 day. Take care

[@screenfly7181]

Hi Tim love these travel videos feels like I'm hitchin' a ride along going on holiday myself. Have never flown from Heathrow but might go there just to tease the robot cleaner! Waited in vain for the suitcase to start twirling again at bag drop! £70 to guarantee window seat is something I would defo do for peace of mind. Standard class looked good but Business class looked amazing. Interesting you included the creepy pre-flight 'thankyou' video that was odd. Always fun trying to negotiate the public transport after landing - especially subways & trams ! Very thorough video well done!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Flown BA to LAX (prem econ there and business back). It was absolutely great once on the flight. The only issue really was BAs online check in/web service which just seems to be beyond broken. I think even the check in kiosks in the checkin area didn’t work properly either. Thankfully a BA rep saw my struggle and just took me to the empty business check in to sort it out. Which was nice. It’s a complete mystery how they actually manage to function with an IT system as decrepit as that one. But other than that, T5 is great and the 777-300ER I went on had been freshly updated and it was just really good.

[@CBTvideos]

"I did get it quite cheap" QUITE? haha that's an absolute bargain especially BA as well 🤣 I had to rewind to check I heard it correctly. So jealous!

[@Alanw80]

Looking forward to seeing the vlogs of New York Tim. Its somewhere I've always wanted to visit.

[@leedavies3629]

Nice one Tim look forward to the New York vlogs 🙂🧳🎥✌️

[@lovely21726]

Booked an Easter holiday with my daughter for next year, travelling with BA, premium economy, looking forward to the extra leg room😊 Thanks for your video, really nice!

[@ReNewReViews1]

The jet stream which sits at high altitudes and flows from west to east makes you have an incredible tailwind on your return leg, much quicker It’s also the exact reason the main prevailing uk wind is from the westerly direction, it’s the lower part of the jet stream creating a drag effect across the surface

[@mattp1680]

Love your videos Tim, you really are the best at what you do on YT in my opinion, making us feel like we are right there with you along for the ride. Always been interested in travelling to New York especially around Xmas time, looking forward to seeing your hotel choices etc

[@michelebryant7561]

Oh my fave city in the world.. fab video can't wait for more 😊

[@MargaretUK]

I do love a flight video 😊 and I'm looking forward to your NYC videos too 👍😀

[@chriskingheritagerailways]

your videos always gets me ideas Tim looking at Paris next year possibly 😊

[@melisaprietoaboitiz7184]

Great I'm going to New York next year looking forward to your tips

[@judiclarke7645]

Thank you Tim for a great video 🙂

[@eugenemcgeever2719]

It was a very good travel day blog today of you chilling out and relaxing waiting to boarding your plane flying from London Heathrow to jfk international Airport with British airways tim

[@naheem1845]

Tim, I’ve been watching your video reviews intermittently. I watched your account of the journey to Dubai with Emirates and the 7 star Burj Arabia (I think it was called). Your work is addictive! You’re addressing your phone camera pretty consistently so the staff on planes and in hotels must be aware that you’re doing a review. I like the pacy editing of your narrative. You’re performing an excellent task for all travellers in your wake. Premium prices should be subjected to rigorous testing. Thank you. 🙏🏽

[@andyt8216]

Nice. I’ve flown BA long haul a few times in my life, but less so in recent years and now I live back in York. But this has whetted my appetite for my forthcoming economy flight on BA from LHR T5 to Boston this coming January.

[@judybee]

Brilliant editing. Almost felt like I was on that flight going to the USA! Looking forward to seeing the New York vlogs coming up Tim x J x

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alphacorin]

Your going to love nyc! My wife’s favourite city…hope you took the train from jfk into the city 😊

[@garethmorgan7474]

Great video Tim as usual

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello Tim,can't wait to see more of NewYork,I would like to go there one day and take in the views and street life.

[@lindabaker6099]

Very interesting thanks for sharing ❤️👍🏻

[@RebeccaRoseblde]

Cant wait to see the rest of the vidoes tim new york is my all time favorite place currently saving up to spend Christmas 2025 there ❤

[@dannydee2668]

What a great video, You do the best travel videos on KZbin, I know because I never skip any parts unlike other channels I watch.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Wow, thanks!

[@azzamehmet]

Been searching for a video recent for British airways to New York for agesss I go next week so thanks :)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad I could help!

[@AJJx1307]

As someone who went last year, you had a near replica of my experience. Looking forward to the rest of the videos, although I will be watching with jealousy!

[@lucaramella18]

always hoped you'd end up doing some New York content! Great to see!

[@wendyrichards7458]

Interesting Vid ,it's been a very long time since I was last at Heathrow .I loved the little cleaning robot ,very futuristic and check in looked very easy .It seemed like quite a trek from there to the plane though .I would have been tempted by the biccies at Fortnums ,in lieu of a first class seat ,lol.

[@yamigonzalez50]

Have fun in New York Tim❤

[@janinehawkins9565]

WH Smith, airports and hospitals. R2D2 has took up janitorial job in Terminal 5. Last flew BA to New York 19 years ago on 747. Had automated check in at JFK all those years ago. Super vlog 👍

[@ricardosam8050]

Love that tea 😊 I never flew with BA to new York to be honest never being there either , I did stop in jfk going to fort Launderdale. Thanks for sharing hope u have great time there

[@MrGreatplum]

Excellent video, Tim. I’m surprised that the plane was boarded with an air bridge - sounds like with the bus journey, it was actually at another terminal! Hope you had a great time in NY

[@Neeko-fz1uk]

😂

[@martyn9323]

Hey Tim, we travelled to New York on the same day! My flight was from Gatwick though but guess we would have been in the air at the same time, hope you enjoyed your time there as much as me 👍

[@Nanna-MO]

Never been to New York , but I’ve seen countless films of New York and flights into and from New York on movies , and I just can’t get it into my head that thos 2 towers are gone , my nephew goes every other year Christmas shopping with hes family , and he’s been with the towers up and now with them down , and he said the atmosphere changed after they’d gone , it’s like New York itself is grieving, I’m not on about the people , he means the buildings and air , it’s like the whole place has had a personality change , although it’s still a beautiful place . He said there’s just something about the place

[@caroldehaney8845]

Hi Tim, I did this trip last month for my. birthday. Went there and back same day. Only bad experience was the.long waiting time for immigration/custom, 1 and a half hours. Can’t wait to see which places you visit.

[@sandrarumbold7021]

Love your videos have fun 🎉

[@martin7955]

Looked lovely flight

[@RobertTaylor-lr3ws]

Great video as always i like the travel ones with the airport and flight better than the place you go to sometimes. This one would have been nicer longer too short for me but thanks

[@andrewrothnie7275]

Enjoyed that tim

[@gregstar77]

Love T5. It's super easy to get around. And it's immense 😊

[@renatobernardin2183]

Excellent video, Tim. You are very good at these flight blogs! Keep them coming. (As well as everything else!). Well done. Did you use your car to get to Heathrow and then use one of the car parks which is what I normally do? I am off to NYC in April 24 on BA premium. I am staying there for 3 nights and then returning on a 14 day repositioning Norwegian cruise to Southampton ..... and Amsterdam and Dublin are some of the stops. I have been to NYC several times ..looking forward to your NYC blogs.

[@innitandting]

I like seeing the ridiculously expensive hotel stays, how the other half live stuff, hope there's some of that in your New York jaunt, will have a gander at your next vids, cheers.

[@DanR723]

Look forward to your New York videos. Love that city.

[@jsptravels]

Just got back from JFK, great hotel opposite the WTC, and unbelievably the cheapest I could find when I booked it - despite being 4*! Be good to compare it to yours. Ps. Went via Amsterdam and got a business class return for 1.5k. Top tip for good deals.

[@GoodJobLittleBuddy]

Terminal 5 is honestly a fantastic airport, ive used the shuttle from Manchester a few times. its just a shame ive arrived a couple of times at my destination without my luggage 🤣

[@Polaris97]

Impressive videography. You deserve to have a lot of KZbin play button 😄

[@sandrarumbold7021]

Have a fab time great video

[@markjohnson182]

I laughed when you were in the toilet!! At first I thought you were going to tell us how many people could fit in there.....and then when you said "especially if you want to get into..." I wondered where that was going!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LeeStewart]

I flew with Air France and KLM to New York in March and they were fantastic - The food, drinks and overall flight.

[@Luvmyadhd881]

Safe travels Tim! Be safe in New York! You should have told us Americans you were coming! If you did I missed it but then again you probably don’t want us showing up where you are 😂😂 I would love to show you and Gabby around Williamsburg, Va one day! That would be dope! Have fun!

[@Japonicastar]

I flew with BA to Mauritius in September and it was the most uncomfortable flight I’ve been on (14 hours, bearing in mind I’ve done non-stop to Perth before). It was the worst food I’ve had on a BA flight ever and the entertainment system was odd. It was like season 3 of a show, so how do you get into a series if you can’t see it from the beginning. I have damaged my coccyx earlier this year so I’m sure my lack of comfort was down to that than the old feeling plane I was on. I really don’t think I can fly until my back is healed so thank you for letting us travel with you! 😊

[@chrispike7249]

I flew with British Airways to New York a fews back and it was a great experience & first time there so you should have a good flight too Tim 👍

[@buhaybisdaksanewyork9215]

Hi Tim, love your channel. I’m living in the Hudson Valley area just north of NYC. I’m curious if you’ve heard about Atlantic City, New Jersey. We used to go there often, & I think it’s something to check those hotels out there.

[@cjanem98]

Hi Tim I just got back from New York early this morning with British Airways from Gatwick, they have wifi which is the best bonus and I was there with my boyfriend from Friday to yesterday and from early this morning landed back in the uk. On the way back it took 5 hours and 58 mins

[@Jackosaurus117]

I flew British Airways to Baltimore back in October. I thought they were really good! I had a great holiday

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

I didn’t know they flew to Baltimore!! BA also fly to San Diego on the West Coast and is one of only three long haul international routes that service SAN (the others are Lufthansa from Munich and JAL from Tokyo Narita). All the other international flights SAN has originate in Mexico or Canada.

[@pitbull2005]

Just to let you know those combined cup/teapots at Fornum and Mason are £140
