Your children seem so polite but still completely absorbed in being children... Nice to see parents that let kids be kids but still expect good manners.

I can imagine the dread of the other first class passengers when kids turn up 🤣

Those kids are so lucky flying first class

those kids are so lucky to have such an awesome father! My dad just smokes and yells at me

It's alright, Noel - ten years from now you could play this video back to your kids and watch them cringe themselves out of existence

Hi Noel Just realised I think my Dad captained your aircraft out to Chicago as he too flew to BOAC our to Chicago

„Does it beat McDonalds?“ „Oh no“ That scene had me dying, so precious!

Yeeeaaahhh i'm not gonna lie, if I paid first class prices and then walked into that cramped first class lounge with no seating and knackered looking staff, i'd be looking for some money back.

First Class Passengers when kids enter the cabin: *Ah Shit, here we go again.*

Nice to see that you have brought your children up the right way, so many earth parents these days with uncontrollably kids.

The best flight of my life was Singapore Airlines first class from Sydney to Singapore. The crew was fantastic and I can't fault anything.

Cute kids, your son looks like a miniature version of you!

Sat in your exact seat very recently on that 747 - unfortunately the family in the 1st cabin with us were NOTHING like your very well behaved, respectful and polite kids - you must be proud parents to be raising such great kids 👍👍

I love the BOAC livery!

Did you notice the "footrest" has a seatbelt on it and can be used as a seat, especially if you want to dine with someone.

Noel I love how they embraced the children

Who else thinks inflight video is underrated?

That check in lady at Chicago was awesome! So friendly and full of beans. That’s how customer service should be.

I flew with two children under 5, London to LA. The flight was full, we were in the 5 seat row in a 747, this was 1986, no inflight entertainment, just the big screen at the front. The flight was full of kids, as soon as we took off they all started screaming! The air pressure gave them earache. The American lady in our 5th seat was a nurse and was called on by the crew to go to check all the kids! My kids were ok 🙏. Then the airline cancelled the adult movie and played a Bugs Bunny cartoon, stroke of genius! All the kids were silent. The nurse in our row was so lovely and helped me get through that crowded flight with two youngsters, who were well behaved 😇I’ll never forget her.

You can actually hear the speedbrake handle motor upon touchdown.

Seeing the staff at check in just made me think just how Chicago that check in really was and how genuine the people are! It's one of my favorite US Cities!

Lovely to see the whole family enjoying a great (and lucky) experience. They’ll remember that forever. Great video as always.

If it just me or does First Class on this plane look like any ordinary Business Class seat on other legacy carriers? No sliding doors, not an overwhelmingly massive seat?

That's how kids should behave on a flight - a testament to your parenting Noel!

I think the BOAC retro livery looks absolutely amazing.

Lucky kids to be able to experience this luxury and it looks like they really appreciated it too. Great video and great little family.

Beautiful family,the succession is assured.Thank you for this vidéo viewed from my couch in the south of France. 🤝👍👍👍🇫🇷

Royal Air Jordan livery reminds me alot of President Trump's private jet

If you where over 3 hours late did you claim compensation for the delay? That would of had a significant reduction on the cost of the first class ticket.

18:22 that was a great shot in the jet bridge of the boac livery

I just watched your video about travelling with a handicap. I am now elderly and disabled and haven't flown since 1998. I flew Air Canada last week from Ottawa to Toronto and back. I didn't ever get the electric personal transport cart but the Air Canada people that pushed me in a wheelchair were great. Very friendly and supportive. My return flight from Toronto to Ottawa got cancelled - I didn't know that it was possible to cancel a planeload of passengers but obviously it is - and I had to wait for standby which was stressful and nerve-wracking but again the Air Canada staff were great. I got home 6 ½ hours later than I was supposed to.

BA are excellent on long haul. My wife and I once took our 7 year old twin boys from LHR - SIN - PER, the looks of horror on our co passengers faces as we sat down was to be remembered, however, after landing we received compliments from all surrounding passengers and crew on their good behaviour, one of the co passengers was the late Trevor Bannister, (Mr Lucas from 'Are you being served') we sat and chatted with him for an hour or so, what a nice chap!

Great video. Yes, you're children were fantastic, so well-behaved.

I am watching Noel’s Reports from the beginning and I told a year ago he will be one of the greatest one day! Once again! Great family, very natural and not scripted! Sam Who? Ch... he will get the million followers! Looking forward to your Brazil trips!

Noal your children are beautifully well behaved, so many obnoxious self entitled rude adults could learn a lesson. I can say that I have always found that the BA cabin crew are always exceptional and professional a credit to the airline and Britain🇬🇧

Great video. I think you were too kind about that lounge though. Didn't get any first class vibes from it at all.

Very British kids, has fantastic table manners 😉

Cabin crew looking at the kids like "oh shit, here we go again"

Your kids are so well behaved. I was impressed when your son knew about the cutlery at the first class dining.

I flew long haul first class on Thai and they were absolutely amazing! Lovely food, comfy seat, great staff and the ife was perfect. Even the lounges had amazing food in!

Great check in staff in the USA...wow glad you captured that on video !! Brave man with the youngsters but very well behaved. Yes Royal Jordanian does have a lovely livery ! Mind you the BA Retro livery looks pretty good as well !! Were your nuts warm ? 1st Class for the young ones...what an experience !! The full breakfast !! Love it !! Most excellent review Noel and what a price for 1st Class ! So glad the kids enjoyed it as much as I did !! Well done mate again !!

17:31 "..touch down three and half hours later..." Chicago to Heathrow record breaking flight!

In 1971 my family moved to Toronto, where we lived for two years. I used to watch the real, original BOAC 747s fly over our house in the northern suburbs on the way to what was then known as Malton Airport. Same airport, just known by a different name. Being a kid from Texas, at first I thought the airline’s name was pronounced Bō-ack. I remember their TV ads “🎶 B O A C takes good care of you! 🎶” Edited to add: You definitely know when the nose wheel meets the pavement up in First Class.

Your kids are so so freaking lucky. I've flown in business class around 3-4 when I was a infant and toddler bouncing between Tokyo and San Francisco. But now since I am a kid (10) my parents almost NEVER buy us premium tickets on planes. I flew Virgin Premium on the A350 between Heathrow and JFK but thats all of my premium flights since I was 5. I personally think it is worth it to fly in style like this, I'm from Japan and living in America and flying 10 hours back home in economy is a nightmare.

Hi Noel Great to see the family enjoying travelling with you. I still think BA need to invest in more style and quality. The first class lounge was like a back room in a small pub, you are a first class passenger!! COME ON BA pull your socks up and start raising your standards. Kind regards DS

Brilliant video! Very cheap actually! Keep it up Noel and hope you and your family are well!

1st class Kids. They are a credit to you and your wife. Really enjoyed this even after two years.

'you can see the airplanes!!!' Inspirational last words

Your son is a miniature version of u

It’s scary how much your son looks like you 😂😂 Also I was flying out of LHR that same morning and watched your flight land from T5 👍🏻

Next time remember to use the arrivals lounge. There is a first class section with waiter service. Also showers and spa treatments. Great way to freshen up after an overnight flight.

i fARDED AND SHIDDED on the boeing-303 10/10

You flew straight south of my house just east of Toronto, If you weren't delayed I would've saw you between 7:15 and 7:30 EDT

That is amazing you hear and feel the nose gear rise up towards it's bay wow

What nice and well behaved kids. When I read the title of this video I thought, oh horror of horrors! The food looked incredible and it was nice they also offered a kids' meal.

That's the way to travel. Children were amazingly well behaved, credit to both of you.

As a recently retired crew member for Ba I worked in first , it was really good to see that your experience was good 😬

Everybody should open their napkins like that.

Wow!! kids will remember this one!! what a dad!!

Never mind the rest of the video; a brother and sis actually enjoying each others company at that age and playing together is a bloody miracle. I can't tell what the age difference is though.

Not sure the BOAC livery quite goes back to the 50s/60s. More like 70's.

Great video enjoyed watching it have been watching for awhile I just never commented great camera work also keep the videos coming your doing an excellent job

Your kids are living the dream.

What a lovely family. I do hope the kids get to enjoy loads of nice holidays and flights as they grow up. Happy childhood days and years.

I would love to see how they treat your wife on a first class flight with other airlines. As the reason I don't fly long haul is because I am disabled and not every airline caters to ambulatory disabilities

Fantastic video! Can’t wait for the next video :D

It looks like you had a really nice family vacation. You have a wonderful family and thanks for sharing.

Imagine how epic it would've been of the kids sat on the upper deck. Sad that I never sat in the upper deck even though I flown on the A380 like 5 times in my life lol.

Person in first class: OH MY DAYS THIS IS SO COOOOOL (Kids walk in) ugh I’d rather be in Economy!

I haven’t been on first class But in April I’m flying economy on the upper deck of the Ba A380

Noel I flew first class on a Pan Am flight from Manila to Honolulu and sat in seat #2 up front. There was a bar with a baby grand piano in it up stairs and it was a great flight. I was on my way home from Vietnam on R&R and due to aircraft problems the day before delaying our flight a day they had too many economy seats booked and I got to do this. Your son looks like you and they are well behaved children. Well done sir, well done.

As a kid in the 80's, I got to fly Business class with KLM in the upper deck of a 747. Best flight ever!!!! The seats back then didn't have the glitz, or the glamour or the comfort of today of course, but flying in the upper deck of a jumbo jet, it felt truly amazing. Very very lucky indeed. I rarely fly these days thanks to fibromyalgia and other chronic health issues, so I cherish these memories even more.

Love the videos like this, sets you apart from other trip reporters.

Your son looks like a mini Noel, literally.

Ah the nostalgia of pre-covid flying 😭😭😭. I flew United Polaris First Class in the 767 from LHR-EWR 2 times. It was easily the most relaxing and pleasurable flights ever and I can’t wait to do it again. My next flight is this weekend on JetBlue Mint and I’m ecstatic! Can’t wait.

Comfortable was the operative word for this flight. The extravagant luxury you get on some other airlines in First Class was absent, but I personally wouldn't miss it, and it would have been totally wasted on kids. I was initially appalled at the presumed cost for a family of four (six months' income for me), but your bargain price made it possible. Young children on long flights can be a trying experience for them, their parents and the other passengers, but First Class had enough distractions and comforts to keep them manageable. This is the first airline video I've seen with children!

I live in Chicago. Wish I could have seen you!

Beautiful children 🙏

I usually dread when I see children on planes. I do not get along with children and they don't get along with me. It's like trying to communicate with little aliens. But I have to give you your props. Your children were pleasant, well behaved and had better manners than a lot of adults. Kudos to you for doing such a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures. 💖💐🌻⚘💐💖

Children speaking in English accents - I am in a diabetic coma over the cuteness!!

I have a felling these kids have NO IDEA that there flying on the legendary 747

I agree with same NOTHING can beat a good maccies

It was so nice meeting your kids in this video and your wife I hope you do one with them soon and I have been in first class it was amazing experience for me and my dad is a gold member of British Air ways as he flown with them so many times

Your son should've been called "Noel Jr." LOL!

I’ll be honest, I thought you were going to do the same thing like they did in Home Alone: First Class for the adults, Economy for the kids.

Aww your son looks like you! 🥰😃

Loved this review thanks for sharing. You must be very proud of such well behaved children, what a credit to you and your wife 👍

British kids sound so polite lol

I always thought that kids under the age of 12 fly in the cargo area... ;-)

Great video. I’ve been fond of the 747 all my life. She is very dear to me. I will always stand by the Queen.

As much as I love HP sauce, the plastics sachets in F look a bit motorway service station

Binge-watching a bunch of your videos over the past week or so. My one long-haul First Class flight was on a United 747 from NRT to SFO about 7 years ago. I’d booked an economy ticket on a pretty cheap fare ($800 or so round-trip), and upgraded to business using miles (my goal was to fly upper deck on the 747). Long story short, through a bunch of IROPS and routing changes, my upgrade dropped out when getting rebooked at the airport (same return flight, but different connection to get there). I asked the agent if there was any way I could get my original seat back on that flight, and after a few seconds of typing on her computer, she handed me a boarding pass for 3A instead. The longer story is that this was part of a trip on the United Island Hopper from Honolulu to Guam (I haven’t gone through all of your videos, but if you haven’t done this trip, then absolutely do it and do a video of it if the travel situation permits; if you have already done it, I’ll probably find it on here soon once I stumble across more old videos). We had a mechanical problem at our first stop of Majuro which resulted in a 24-hour delay while they flew a replacement part in from Guam to fix our plane. Enjoyed the unexpected stay on the island. Then the next day things went reasonably well until our crew timed out at Chuuk because of some kind of crew rest regulation. The crew went to a hotel for 8 hours while the passengers roamed the island. Since my original connection to Hong Kong was long gone (wound up missing it by 34 hours or so), I decided to rebook Guam-Tokyo to catch up to my original return, and that’s when all the upgrade fun happened.

Great video 👍

Air New Zealand has the best livery in the world! 😍

Never seen someone so enthusiastic about a Boeing 747 toilet. Keep up the videos Noel I love them

Reminds me of my kids at that age having fun and not being rude ... well done parents ... now mine are sleeping and enjoying pubs and clubs lol ...

Your kids look just like you!! 😂😂

I would be absolutely horrified if I saw kids in a cabin I've paid ~10k for 😅 But they were very well behaved all things considered 😊

BOAC - Better On A Camel 😂 got that from an English friend who unfortunately passed away last year 😞. Loved to chat with him about aviation and the last time I saw him alive was at Brooklands Museum where he did volunteer work. R.I.P. Mike
