TRIPREPORT | British Airways (ECONOMY) | Boeing 777-200 | Port of Spain - St. Lucia - London Gatwick

[@Stavanger513]

I was born in Trinidad and Tobago but now I live in Stavanger, Norway but for summer this year I’m in Trinidad. And I flew also on 777-200 and I flew on a direct flight from London or LGW. And finally someone has made a trip report in Trinidad 🎉

[@donnadwarika6370]

❤Yes so Great love seeing home😂❤.

[@tobiayobejide3330]

Im 14 and I've never been on a plane. So i cant wait to go to London soon on ba. I watch videos on it every time😅. Im obsessed. Also Emirates 😂😊❤❤

[@muggleworm]

Finally, my home country St.Lucia 🇱🇨 is being featured.

[@mini-land]

A unique route you took, great video as always.

[@missm10]

they do a few routes like this in the Carribbean. Another one is flying from Gatwick to Aruba via Antigua.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

An out-of-the-ordinary video, thank you. I've done a number of these two-sector flights with BA, to and from the Windies. On one, I was the only passenger in the rear cabin of a 777! How resentful I was at having paid extra for an exit seat. BA's breakfasts often disappoint, flying back to the UK from the region.

[@brkitdwn]

Always look at the seat map to see what seats are taken. You get a pretty good idea when most are empty

[@roymackenzie-jy4lr]

I remember flying to Orlando with British Airways, and they served a mushroom and chicken wrap with cheese, like how random and I know this isn't breakfast it was a pre landing snack but still

[@TeddyBearGaming999]

Glad to see BA has updated the cabin of these old 777s to keep them going. I flew on it a couple times with the super old economy cabin back in 2018 and it was terrible

[@Abraham-uk4xy]

Catering out of Port of Spain is superb. The dinner tray is overflowing with stuff

[@Race346KD]

An interesting yet intriguing video. Who’s else wants to fly to st Lucia?

[@get2dachoppa249]

Although I’m not Trinidadian, I am of West Indian heritage, so I was reading the narration with a Trini accent.

[@mattm1547]

Hope you enjoyed Trinidad. Also BA has now commenced a direct service to LGW instead of a stop over.

[@doveronefoxtrot4417]

These 2 stage flights are a bum ache. I did tobago in May and that went via St Lucia. Over 10 hours on the aircraft. A killer !

[@reyhosein2533]

Did this flight May 2024, returning home just a few days ago as of watching your video, the wifi is only free to first class passengers, and B.A. did sell POS-UVF flights on its POS-LGW...my flight was direct to LGW, they no longer do the UVF stopover.....i believe as of this year. I was quite pleased with my flight, customer service, food and beverage, seat legroom/comfort etc. ❤😊😊

[@kameelrahman4106]

Lovely video. Hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful island🇹🇹

[@christianwilliams9010]

So happy to see my country Trinidad &Tobago. Great review yet again.

[@kevinf-b5065]

So glad BA have refurbished this airplane. I travelled on it when it was only a couple of months old from Gatwick to Tobago in economy. I was horrified that on a new 777 it was configured in a charter mode with only 29" leg room and narrow seats. There was no ventilation and the cabin temperature made us both sweat at LGW in the winter!!

[@trin162]

That is because they place their worst product in the Caribbean and Africa and parts of Asia. Also, their over product and services across the board is sub-par. Caribbean Airlines COULD have taken advantage of this but Trinidadians are not like how they once were back in the 80s and 90s.

[@mylhodoppenberg]

Was just thinking about a trip report from British airways today! Amazing timing haha. Love it!

[@noahgreaser1213]

I was on Flightradar24 yesterday and saw this flight with the exact route on a 777 with British airways, so I might of just tracked a flight that i didn’t know that Felix was on

[@tobyprice1092]

Before on BA you would have received two full meal services with the British breakfast always supplied. For a 10hr flight it should be two meals not a yoghurt and a croissant. That seems a bit stingy.

[@Stavanger513]

Well it more of a 7 hour to 8 hours

[@zoepushong7258]

Glad you said this thought the same for 8 hour 45 minute flight I was shocked.

[@devindrabalkaran3159]

Nice video. I used this particular route with BA pretty regularly pre-COVID (5 or 6 return flights per year between POS and the UAE via Gatwick and Heathrow). Happy for the direct route now. Will be on this flight to the UK come September.

[@Nabeel_2]

Nice video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a British airways wing that was not so dirty 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@brian402]

Awesome✈trip report there Felix,that dinner looked pretty good all-in-all but that breakfast.,i think B.A still need to up their game with some improvements on their behalf.

[@MLXaviation]

i can't miss any Simply Aviation video! also the fact that you flew on a 777 that is 24 years old is amazing isn't it?

[@Tpavra]

Is it?

[@jacquesabella5451]

I flew from LGW to CUN and vice versa on BA b777-200er. It was actually quite nice, the food was great! 2 hot meals in every fight and the food quality was great! The entertainment system is quite decent as well.

[@flyingdentist]

old equipment with nice modern interior ,nice ride

[@jetstreamtt]

Truly a thorough, comprehensive trip report with good detail on the important aspects, exactly what I was looking for 👏🏼👏🏼

[@janmitchell5263]

9:11 BA used to sell tickets from POS-UVF and UVF-POS. So what used to happen is passengers for St. Lucia would disembark at this point. I took this flight several times.

[@lucucaracha]

I flew on G-VIIJ a while back, a plane only a year older but still equipped with the old cabin...let's just say I wasn't exactly comfortable in there🫠

[@gatechecked]

A small correction. Passengers were allowed to book flights between POS and UVF at the time of your video. However they've since switched to non-stop service between POS and LGW.

[@suprateembhattacherjee6834]

The food service on BA is truly phenomenal. I still remember the awesome lunch they used to serve on flights from London to Phoenix (BA289). Thank you for another great video ❤

[@jeetknowschess]

nice video Felix

[@user-ti9pd3fb2v]

Great to see British Airways videos.

[@DavidMaharaj-rm1td]

I'll be going to England this year... For summer I'll go, it's a non-stop flight on BA and of course I'm Trinidadian 😁

[@XxHighwayUnicornxX]

Babe wake up, new trip report dropped😍

[@captainslooo]

Great video. Unfortunately the 3-4-3 configuration on the 777 is a bit too dense for my liking. Flew it recently and my elbows and feet were touching my neighbours..

[@jirehla-ab1671]

Mostly not a problem with flights flying passengers who mostly are smaller in average than most of you in the west.

[@acepopro]

@@jirehla-ab1671Yh I’m 6”3 and I can fit very well

[@jasminejohnston6393]

I’d do anything to get on a plane again. The last time I flew, it was in a helicopter over Quadra Island (an island off the west coast of Canada) which was fun but I wanna fly in an airplane again

[@BehindTheSkies_1]

Nice one Felix, I always have loved BA.

[@dimigaming99]

I have never travelled before, glad to experience this.

[@thegotlandisfarmer8774]

I most be one of the few that like the design of the old business class seats of BA well I under traveling alone those would be a bit awkward but traveling with a partner would be fun

[@lineboard]

Amazing video, would love to see a trip report to Tobago

[@donnadwarika6370]

Thank you for this Beautiful Trip Report of my homeTfinbago❤.Hope you had a great time here😂.

[@The_world65]

Cool video you the best

[@nickno2980]

Although Boeing 777X is not delivered yet, I still look forward for it😊

[@r12004rewy]

Going to be bit of a wait I think

[@archiewells1197]

British Airways do direct flights to the Port of Spain now

[@hero_ytb24]

It reminds me of Elite Investigators : The Great Treasure Hunt, especially the part when the gang flies from Paris to Martinique with Air France (flights AF842 & AF841 on B777-300ER)

[@imtiyazmaruf5145]

Pls do a BA cityflyer brutally honest review from lcy to pmi

[@insaneepicprocrafters4738]

Great vid! Love BA's obscure services. Third?

[@shakuan868]

Funny I’m at the airport right now and the song that was playing at 1:55 is playing here also lol

[@SgtT7]

Oh I wish this channel could have 1M subs for these INSANE videos...😊

[@RaresCosi]

You should ask to see the cockpit after every flight you do 😊 will be fun

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent trip report Felix!😸

[@aviationmw]

YES! FINALLY A VIDEO WITH GATWICK MY HOME AIRPORT!

[@Demonator131]

I'm going to trinidad tomorow on this exact airplane and airline

[@jimbo6059]

That was a good cast. All the nitty gritty of a leeward islands trangle service. BA have a few of those. The only route that is direct from thst region is Kingston and Montego Bay.

[@kav_x2562]

POS has been direct since march

[@gabrielstevens3884]

14:15 can see my hometown :)

[@steveg3981]

Good video. Didn't see any sniffer dogs man!

[@ricardosam8050]

Lovely information pal, thanks for sharing . Hope u did had great flight . Didn’t know BA stop then Trinidad

[@hkjuhucampbell4005]

Like that Land Ho.

[@zaoshanghaozhongguo1989]

14:33 hoping they would clean those flaps after landing lol

[@brkitdwn]

Airlines have been like that for years. Some do clean them and usually the whole plane is like that. Spotless

[@kaykay_1868]

Thank you so very much im traveling from pos to gatwick next week direct flight tho

[@jolantavorobjoviene2056]

perfect

[@sdgclublava]

I want you guys to try akasa air here in india and I request you guys to fly Doha - Nagpur route by Qatar airways which is very underrated and unique! Please visit nagpur once!

[@jolantavorobjoviene2056]

i love it

[@Hedgemeister]

Come on Felix, enough of the silent treatment.😁

[@shakuan868]

OMGGGG my nation 🇹🇹

[@skbenergy]

awesome video....greetings from St. Kitts in the Caribbean !!!

[@michellocci]

Nice one i was living sxm for long time hang out marseno from sxm watching airplanes spot maho Beach

[@apollodanmusic]

Been on that flight twice to trinidad and back uk 2nd time the polit slammed it down at St Lucia I got the chance to go in to the cockpit when we arrived in trinidad 🇹🇹

[@rezaalan3991]

Great flight, I don't know this flight is considered as Fifth freedom or not, since between Port of Spain and Vieux Fort, BA didn't sell ticket, but picking new passenger grom Vieux Port to London.

[@spk1983]

Yes, a fifth freedom flight was possible on this route - you were able to book flights between POS and St. Lucia on this schedule (and for a bit cheaper than the alternatives at the time). Now the route is a direct flight between POS and LGW.

[@RaY_77W]

Please try the LGW-ANU-SKB!

[@FootballDood]

Very nice

[@travellifeone7284]

Superb video ...thank you so much...❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍👍

[@skim2946]

I’m looking forward going to St Lucia in July with BA

[@raykan3643]

I don't know that some airlines allow passengers who are staying for the continue flight can stay on the plane . Last time I took a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Taipei then continue heading to Osaka. but they treated us as usual transferring passengers which means we have to leave the plane to do security check then go back to the plane. (it's the same plane )

[@dariandharrie4934]

Thanks for coming to trinidad 🇹🇹 🙌

[@lionheart.5983]

Im amazed by the 777s' strobes.

[@DevBoyjonauth]

I flew on this BA aircraft type to Barbados last year. I really wasn't impressed! No charging points, IFE wasn't working for half the passengers! Luckily mine was working. The food was dreadful and so was the wooden cutlery.The cabin crew service was mediocre to say the least.

[@evangelistjermainebrown2718]

❤

[@BRTripReport]

Quite a fun route! I'm curious as to why BA don't sell tickets between Port of Spain and St. Lucia... Maybe some regulatory concerns.

[@michellocci]

Local airline in the carribean they do domestic flights islands

[@tristfully12]

They did! But right now the route is no longer existent, they now have direct flights to LGW from POS.

[@janmitchell5263]

BA stopped the POS-UVF (St. Lucia) route at the end of March. Trinidad use to have 5 flights weekly but now it has been cut to 3 direct flights weekly. BA now flies from UVF (St. Lucia) to Guyana (Mondays & Thursdays) and Tobago (Tuesdays & Fridays) since dropping the Trinidad route and Grenada gained an extra day (Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays)

[@adifferentview280]

@Simply Aviation what’s your flight after this?

[@danielwhite79]

Thank you for this video can you also do KLM. POS to AMS

[@avionreview3]

Hi Felix! It was a fantastic video, and a great trip indeed! Welcome to the United Kingdom! :D

[@ambrosejoseph4843]

I'd stay in St Lucia.

[@bloxtorizz]

I could have seen you but then I realised it was in June 2022 as I flew out of LGW yesterday

[@kemonross8510]

Grenada😢 airport good landing

[@Jackzilla2006]

Hello From UK

[@Goober_Yt]

I hope you get 1m followers by the end of the year :D

[@jasonharrison601]

They blew the food budget on dinner lol

[@sbiscette2412]

BA does sell POS-UVF tickets. My sister flies BA from POS to visit our parents in Saint Lucia.

[@painalmighty1017]

You flew from my country trinidad

[@tinag7381]

For economy that was a really dinner☆☆

[@Cherburgo1944]

Great video.

[@RealEditional]

Why don't they clean 777-200ER wings? Why -300's wings are cleaner instead

[@brkitdwn]

Has a lot to do with what kind of maintenance was recently done on the aircraft. Age makes a difference and newer parts

[@get2dachoppa249]

As an aircraft mechanic, I can tell you that type of staining doesn’t rinse off, you have to scrub it off, and that’s only going to happen so often.

[@mayaboitos4641]

I don't rlly go to London airport bc It's 7 hours away to take National Express so we take falcon to Bristol airport instead. (London airport: 7 hours away) (Bristol airport: 3 hours away)

[@Thatclimbingirl]

Why the big difference in time, Bristol and London are only 2 hours drive apart?

[@TheT3Engine]

The fact is that this cabin is more modern than their 787, how is that possible?

[@aguy2763]

yoo i went on the same route but i went 4 years ago

[@z4ynRx]

Hi can you do Air Algerie from Lhr - Alg please

[@Oldladysgin]

10 across seating!

[@nestorgray3291]

Lovely video

[@thewesternway]

Man i wish i can see the engine view...

[@thefreshmaker001]

Some people abuse the cabin baggage allowance.

[@lukejoshua5156]

Was there any plug sockets at you seat or just USB? Thanks

[@justahomosapiens1861]

Is it just me or are airlines getting stingy with their second meals on trasatlantic flights?
