British Airways A350 Club Suites - Toronto to Heathrow

The United Kingdom's Flag carrier has a long held reputation as a premium airline, from the De Havilland Comet to the Concord, British Airways has championed many firsts in its first 100 years. However, in recent years, BA has acquired a less-than-desirable reputation of cutting costs and raising prices, with a First Class that more resembles Business, and a Business Class that plays Tetris with humans for the sake of squeezing in more seats and squeezing out more profit. But things are changing, and their new Club Suites on the A350 are a step in the right direction, come along as I check out the seats, service and sleep quality on this flight from Toronto to London.
Thanks to 'Live and Let's Fly' for coming in clutch in the face of my ineptitude with bathroom pics. Read his review of British Airway's A350 here:

Some top notch consumer advice here: My girlfriend and I booked this itinerary out of pocket, so we combed the internet for the best flights. This segment was part of a longer YYZ-LHR-HEL-PEK itinerary that came to half the price of what a YYZ-LHR ticket would have been. I booked this with Finnair on their website, and was surprised to learn that BA charges a 150 USD fee for advanced seat selection in business. $150 per person. We didn't give in to this blatant act of daylight robbery, and took our chances with seats during online check-in. So, if you're travelling as an inseparable couple or with your offspring, be warned.

[@jasonm9193]

Would they guarantee families will be seated together?

[@VicariousVoyager]

@@jasonm9193 When I called in and asked if they will do anything to accommodate this request, the agent replied that they will not move passengers around if there are no adjacent seats. So I guess not.

[@rajeshr5140]

They will seat families together. I’ve never fallen for their advance seat selection gimmick (daylight robbery agree) - but all three times, my family of four was seated together

[@robyoungquist5803]

Vicarious Voyager ... Swiss charges for the “throne” seats in Business. Yes, I pay it ... because even though I might like my seat mate, I enjoy my privacy 👍🏻

[@timschuit2057]

You wil need way more subs bc you have great content and btw klm is the oldest airline i think

[@NovejSpeed3]

This channel is a hidden gem. So glad I was randomly recommended one of your videos. Been hooked since

4:50 "I'm 181cm or for you Americans 181cm" I love it :)

[@The_Fearlesss]

Love it xD

[@kirabouwerviraltyd]

Cracked me up 🤣

[@dwlbertmyers4840]

Yea suck to be 5 foot 20 inches. Not.

[@tigersharkzh]

I laughed at that one because only a dick or a slope would use cm to state their height. It's a meter eighty one, anything else is for idiots.

[@smallstudiodesign]

Keep’em out of the loop, I say.

[@dhammarosi]

Literally laughed out loud at the bathroom PPT 😂

[@61demon57]

“If you don’t want a disease, fly economy” Well hasn't this aged well.

[@stevenreichertart]

“I did wonder as to whom was the recipient of the other half of my bagel.” Thanks for the entertaining review!

[@GreifNation]

How are you not one of the largest travel and/or aviation lifestyle influencers on KZbin? I spent literally my entire day yesterday and another 3 hours today watching your videos. Absolute mental! Keep it up brotha!

[@komkom0990]

Never have I laughed and smiled so much through any airline review! You are an absolutely splendid content creator. I’m so glad I found your channel

[@crystals7882]

Love that takeoff. Literally said "wow" as the plane turned to show the sunset!

[@dogmaticfc8160]

8:01 I met Manjit who checked me in at the desk in Toronto. What an absolute gem of a man, highly educated and extremely polite. Thank you for your wonderful customer service at YYZ and hope we meet again soon.

[@MichaelPomposello]

Your video is not only so informative - your sense of humor is incredible. I lost it at "The white privilege company" Got a new subscriber!

[@VicariousVoyager]

Thank you, I’m glad you found my shenanigans entertaining.

[@newbie_productions]

4:54 roasting how metric system is better than customary 👍🏻😂

[@juliedee4719]

I've watched the takeoff scene 5 times! It's epic.... love your take on everything. The music choices are wonderful. Thank you for all of this, you make us all smile and long to travel again.

[@wheatwild]

You're the man VV. Thanks for another great video. The takeoff and climb part was indeed very pretty. You did well for keeping the whole thing. Cheers!

[@brilliantbutblue]

The take off in this vid with the sun setting was absolutely gorgeous!! So glad you included this. "Prescription for alcohol poisoning" 😂🍷just what the good Dr ordered👍 "White Privilege Company" your one liners just keep on flowing along with the wine. 👏 love it.

[@clfive02]

love the airport access and terminal maps! keep up the good work!

[@Sanznachito]

Another outstanding vlog- BA looked extremely comfortable and a far superior service than what people normally say about their club. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffreyjamestv]

Great sequence of the take-off, great music, we are with you as you fly!

[@chrishamilton5370]

I watch a few different travel report Channels and I must say that I enjoyed this review the best. I absolutely loved the realness of the commentary.

[@summeroflove394]

The takeoff view was breathtaking!

[@craigwillis3372]

Great take off vision AND music...loved it !! Glad your nuts were warm !! (Sorry) Pretty good flight by the look of things !! Thanks for yet another great review and I look forward to your next adventure whenever that might be in these most troubling times !!

[@chrisallcock8795]

Fabulous takeoff... magic scenery

[@djvolt.us1]

20:20 Mentions social anxiety and then says who am I kidding, I don’t have social anxiety 😂! Nerd with a spot on sense of humour.

[@KevanWilliams]

The take off music was as breathtaking as the view

[@Hurri1Kane]

Looking for the song, you got any idea what it is?

[@tommykay7427]

....and here in comes the tale of "The missing half bagel". Great vid, thanks! 😀

[@PrincessAnisha09]

The toilet brings the place together! Love it

[@davidh9844]

Great report, sarcasm delivered without missing a beat! Excellent. I don't know how I got here, but I love to fly, and was somewhat shocked to see a travel report! I quickly checked the date of your postings, and alas, it's a pre-covid report, a year old. Amazing what a difference a year makes. I've never done BA business class, it really doesn't look overly exciting, apart from the Suite. In a different lifetime, I've flown Qatar from Houston to Doha and on to Singapore. Talk about being spoiled! Spectacular service, spectacular food, spectacular wine list, amazing closed door suite. I'm a customer for life, if I ever get my life back... And the A350 is an amazing machine to travel in. So, thanks for a great report.

[@KFOish]

I have just gotten into travel report videos and really enjoyed this one. Dry humour is the best.

[@frogstamper]

Awesome climb out of Toronto, absolutely beautiful.

[@panoshountis1516]

Thank you for the magnificent departure sunset clip!

[@jadedavis822]

Beautiful take off scene even the music fits😍

[@marilynw4720]

The sunset takeoff was perfection. Travel safe my friend🛫💙

[@lionlee7763]

The take-off scene was fantastic!!

[@steveburnell7625]

Omg you crack me up!! You show me absolutely everything I want to see in the first in business class cabin and you make me laugh ~ a perfect combination

[@dantekania7212]

Love your videos man. Keep up the great work. Biggest thing that sets you apart from other reviewers is your frankness and no-bullshit attitude. Cracks me up.

[@grimm_8819]

Love your videos. Perfectly entertaining, informative, yet brutally honest.

[@sobettax3]

This guys humor is so nerdy. And I love it.

[@TarrelScot]

The take-off sequence was beautiful! I would love to know the piece of music you used.

[@JasonB95]

"Portobello Road" - David Celeste

[@caseydykes117]

It almost sounded like the soundtrack from downton abby

[@xxxthejob]

@@caseydykes117 i knowww right! I was just thinking that!

[@ricoelgordolocosabor4173]

I loved this sequence, music well chosen.

[@ocheng724]

What a beautiful takeoff! Thanks for it! Made my day.

[@bakkutteh-SG]

Every time you show your humour, I can’t stop myself whispering DLLM (if you know what that means in Cantonese). Love your humour and the choice of background music!! Subscribed!

[@stang8160]

Over the past year and a half, I've been watching a ton of these travel videos, mainly due to the pandemic and not being able to globetrot myself as I am used to doing--and so what the hell else is there to do at home but live vicariously? No matter how many of your competitor's videos I watch, I find that I am drawn back to yours; they are, without a doubt, the best. Not only are they incredibly informative (almost to the point of overkill, but hey, when it comes to world travel, too much info is always better than not enough), but I also truly love the "peppering" of salty language and your deliciously wicked and dry sense of humor. Not that you needed another one, but count me as a fan.

[@zhanimal9]

Your powerpoint segment was the highlight of my day. Hilarious

[@RC-dz3yg]

I love your videos, not only informative but also i love your sense of humor! Keep up the great work!

[@QYD1000]

The best produced flight review video I’ve ever seen.

[@bouyehcastro75]

Amazing sense of humor and very articulate.One of a kind trip vlogger and the best.Truly entertaining and information.Kudos!

[@gildalee8194]

WOW!!! The take off was amazing! So beautiful.

[@samuelsundberg391]

you are absolutely right that take off is very beautiful .

[@yourtravelswithbruce]

Love your reviews. Just flew A93 from LHR to YYZ and the service was PAINFULLY slow. 90 minutes for drinks to be serviced! 2.5 hours into the flight I received my starter. I too was also seated in 9A and the forward cabin was only 50%full. LOVE the new seating which is by far the best business class seat. However the forward galley is WAY too small to service the number of passengers. During meal service the forward lavatories were locked and this is due to the fact there isn't enough room. It really shouldn't take 3 hours to get your meal. Cabin crew were really hassling to try and serve everyone. Crew confirmed the lack of galley space is the problem.

[@ElembeeOfficial]

18:26, this part made me crack up so badly! 🤣

[@gautamansenivasan]

Love the use of footage reversing at 17:17 , very very slick.

[@EVLitterPicker]

Man, so glad I found your channel. Such laughs 😂 And, bonus material in the form of magic! I'm surprised no one else has mentioned that sly dawg reverse drop manouver at 17:23 - classy 😏

[@VicariousVoyager]

Thank you!

[@daily8150]

I did see that.

[@stevemccain1733]

Awesome climb out of YYZ. Savor every moment!

[@garyroy767]

Best take off I’ve seen on any vid. Nice work, love the video’s you do , keeps us all entertained 😂👍

[@brookieboydabom]

Loving you work sir. A great mix of humour, balance and good insight from a regular business traveller makes these videos a great watch. And the PowerPoint presentation really made me chuckle. SUBSCRIBED!

[@JBinFL]

Evening takeoffs are a joy. Even PHI looks gorgeous then.

[@kamalchopra1377]

I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Please keep them coming

[@watericed777]

Love your trip report. The takeoff roll was specular; excellent choice of background mood music with it too. Found your channel from KZbin recommendations of your Swiss airline flight and made my way progressively through your entertaining but informative trip reports. This might be your level best, with the sunset takeoff clip!

[@watericed777]

Especially enjoyable during such extraordinary times; planning travel for when the pandemic ends... Hopefully w/o needing a vaccine because frankly don't trust the speed it's been rushed through and the orange baffoon rethoric pushing FDA approvals. So may have to wait longer before flight than others :(

[@OVTraveller]

Thanks VV for your flying comedy show, which deals with the reality of flying different airlines without mercy and gets you to work.
