  1. Morning, I’m a new viewer to your channel. What adapter do you use please so you can use your own headphones? I have Bose SC ones

  2. Great video as ever 👏

  3. great video mate, enjoyed watching

  4. Just took this flight last month…upper deck business class…LAX-LHR-LAX

  5. The day after I flew lhr to yvr

  6. Hello GLA-FLY, did you need to apply for any Visa for travelling to LA? Such as an ESTA visa?

  7. its funny that the Emirates A380 passed by…At least they have a different concept of Business Class —-even going back 20 years ago
    thanks for the video… I'll go take the A350-1000 with the new seats instead..too bad as the A380 upper deck on Emirates or SGP are ahead of the rest…

  8. The seating design sucks.

  9. The old club world seats occasionally do have issues with getting stuck. It's basically all the gunk in the rails and the motor isn't powerful enough the procedure to fix it is actually really simple basically manual recline slam it all the way up and down about 3 times and usually it works 🤣

  10. I like the upper deck seat, you have so much privacy, I prefer these than the newer ones

  11. Thanks that was an very entertaining video 👍 I once in a while fly Johannesburg London Johannesburg on the BA 380 and find the crew and meals excellent thanks GLA

  12. Excellent review thank you , we had same problems on lower deck same aircraft seat broken could could not be resolved on flight staff rather not bothered . Food was as looking at menu suggesting very tasty but a completely different story when it was served dry and definitely should not have been served. Informed by crew to complain via website .

  13. Just doing some research before I book to fly on the A380 and found this review – really nicely done and very informative 😎👍

  14. Excellent review. BA A380s have horrible seats in a 2-3-2 configuration and the food served is mediocre at best. Seems like BA is competing for world’s worst airline.

  15. Oooh, that seat looks really claustrophobic and a tad clumsy, especially compared to the Qatar Suites 😉 The views, though, were spectacular, especially with the late afternoon sun. Thanks for sharing!!

  16. when was this flight and do they served you hot towels before land? and please next time show galley snacks that is also interesting

  17. Great plane. Old and tried interior. The seat was the 1st lie flat seats in the sky sadly that was many many years ago and BA haven't bothered to undated the layout, the seat covers even the TV is old.
    And you wonder why BA is being left behind by all the other airlines. TOO OLD AND TOO EXPENSIVE

  18. My question is….who thought this seating arrangement was a good idea? 😂. Like how did this pass the planning stage? They are scrambling so hard to get club suites onto every plane now.

  19. I’m going with 9 of my extended family from Glasgow to LAX at the end of June in the new club suite, on the 777-300 in the 12 seat forward Club cabin. We’re travelling via Dublin (jumping on Ryanair Glasgow to Dublin & starting our BA journey there) because of the superb price & it will earn us a good amount of avios. Although I’m very much looking forward to experiencing the club suite for the first time, I do have a great affection for the old seat especially upstairs on the 747 that we’ve done the same journey on a few times in the past, it was my favourite seat on a plane, even better than BA1, a318 out of London City. The upper deck of the a380 doesn’t have the same intimacy, I’m not a big fan it’s just not as much of an event somehow. One of my biggest concerns with the club suite will be keeping an eye on my 2 young kids, something that was easy to do with the old seats. Many people/videos bang on about how private they are & have more storage (I’ve never found storage a problem on the 747 or a380) but I personally think they are bordering on antisocial & don’t cater as well for people travelling in groups as the old seats did. Hopefully my concerns are unfounded. Enjoyed the video & thanks for uploading 👍🏻

  20. I Dont Like 2-4-2 Seating Or 2-3-2 Upper Deck The A380 Business Class I Hope Britssh Airways Will Have 1-2-1 Seating Like The A350-1000.Great Trip Report

  21. Always happy to see a fellow Scot! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’ll be flying LHR-LAX but with American next month

  22. Nicely done 👍
    Thanks for sharing
    Greetings from Helsinki ❄️ Finland

  23. Great video! Really informative!!! I look forward to hopefully seeing more soon!!

  24. Another really interesting video, and stunning scenery over Iceland and Greenland. Thanks for sharing 👍

  25. Another great video as per usual 👍

  26. What a beautiful a380 and great video again mate.

  27. Nice video! You have a new subscriber. I flew out to LA in Club World mid Feb on the A380. I will be glad to see the back of those old A380 seats! The flight back was in the Club Suites though, so it wasn't all bad.

  28. Superb! And not just because I was in it!!! Lots of reports of dodgy seats on BA lately – they tend to be particularly generous with the compo when a seat breaks… And anyone who doesn't think a window seat is worth it should watch this video!

  29. I absolutely hate BA horrible airline have had a bad experience with them

  30. I was at the 5B galleries lounge in the summer and i also found the selection to be more lacklustre than the lounges in 5A.
