Fantastic! Love that short take-off! I'm in London on Wednesday, so have taken your advice and booked 25D on what will be my first time into and out of LCY. Can't wait!
The Embraer's are great. We've done Majorca with BA before and the service was great. Just be aware that since I did this video some of the Embraer 190's have been densified which means BA have added a few more seats so the pitch is no longer 34in - it's a bit tighter. Still should be a great experience though. 😀
Cool video, recognisable (you filmed the Embraer 190 from where I sat yesterday :) ! Did the LCY - RTM flight yesterday , wow yes spectacular take-off exactly as you describe. Was positively surprised by BA too, plenty legroom and on the 35 minute flight even a drink and a snack served!
Thanks very much. Glad you had a good flight. I believe BA is going to add more seats to the EMB190s so the seat pitch is about to get tighter, unfortunately.
@@RogEdwardsTV The size of the aircarft depends on the # of passenger for that location. Embraer 190 is great for short and mid flights, but the cost is low if you compare with the cost of a 737 or A320
+Maulin Agrawal They’ve made some huge improvements to the terminal - and because it’s no where near as busy as it was pre-pandemic - now would be a good time to try it out!
Thanks John. Flights at peak times can be £300+ (higher in Club Europe Business class which is a bit pointless) - as they tap into the bank travellers going into the City of London. Off peak fares are more reasonable! 😀
At about 4:20 when the aircraft is revving the engines before takeoff, what are the rounded buildings to the right of the plane? I noticed these when we took a flight from LCY to GLA last September. Are they offices? Flats? They seem way to close to the runways to be very desirable...
@@RogEdwardsTV My next booked flight is in January; from Manchester to San Diego, via New York with Aer Lingus and American Airlines. I haven't flown in two years so am very excited. I might do a domestic flight to Inverness if work allows in the meantime.
Did this very same route yesterday - but started at Monument for the DLR as it removes a lot of the underground walk from Bank (even though technically they are classed as different stations they are all part of the same complex, its confusing). Think thats only my 5th time at City and it's always been pleasant - Covid had certainly reduced passenger numbers this time round but I did really love the legroom and recognising Morecombe out of the window at one point.
Thanks @QuincyMD. I originally come from Blackpool (not far from Morecombe) but I was on the wrong side of the plane to see it. Glad you had a good trip. 😀
