From The Small A319 To The Mighty A380: The British Airways Fleet In 2022 

I’m flying on the BA A380 from San Francisco to Heathrow in August and I’m very excited! It will be my first ever time on an A380.

Enjoyed your video. Very informative. Love, love, love the 747's. Flew twice from Los Angeles to London to Johannesburg and back. So that is 8 flights. On my 2nd trip had the pleasure to fly business first class because they bumped me up.

Thank you - always interesting to see how the BA fleet changes and develops over time. Over the years I have flown in BA B737/747/757/767/777/787 and A319/320/321. If I can include a legacy airline, I also flew in a BEA Airtours Comet 4 MANY years ago. Never managed Concorde, nor yet an A380.

As BA crew, I worked on: Boeing 747/757/767/777/787 and Airbus A319/320/321/380 during my time with BA. As a passenger I have flown on them all, as well as the one type I did not work on, the A350 as I now commute from London to Accra for work, and the A350 is periodically used on that route.

I don't think emirates would give away a380s. They are breathing with the help of those

I flew on the A350-1000 on its second flight from Heathrow. To DXB, absolutely beautiful aircraft, amazing flight.

I thought the Cityflyer fleet would be covered as well!

That first 787 landing was 10/10 butter

I've only flown with British Airways once m, between Manchester and London on one of their A319s, back in 2012 and I really enjoyedboth the ground and onboard experience and the interior cabin was really comfortable and relaxing.

Thank you for the fleet videos

I flew with British Airways from Heathrow to Lusaka and back (a route they don't do anymore) in 2006 and 2007. I think it was a Boeing 777. In 2007 we circled London for about an hour because there was a long queue for landing at Heathrow. I got a great view of the city but it's not the best experience waiting for an hour to land after a 10 hour flight from Lusaka. I got my connection to Dublin with Aer Lingus though. But I had to book a hotel in Dublin beforehand because the flight got in too late to get a train back to Galway, where I was living at the time.

Manchester airport (my local) gets British airways A319s And A320s plus a few A321s sometimes

My A380 clip at 3:40, from an introductory tour video I made for BA in 2013.

I love the A350-1000 service from LHR TO LAS (las Vegas)

I scheduled my last trip from NYC to Hong Kong through London on BA at the end of 2019. Usually, I take Cathay Pacific non-stop but wanted a last opportunity on the BA 747. Glad I did, since they unexpectedly retired them shortly after my flight.

Great video! Can you maybe talk in a future video also about the klm fleet?

My parents have flown on BA's Concorde.

BA Advertised the A380 on our upcoming trip to Dubai when booking. At this time BA is operating the A350 on this flightnumber and I was sceptical to fly my first A380 flight ever. - Finally now, the schedule shows they are servicing BA107 with the A380 from the 27th of March! - I couldn't be more excited!! BA changed the original return flight, advertised B787, to a B777 as I can see today tho, so equipment changes do still occur.

I have flown with many of BA aircraft. from a318, a320 a380, b757, b767 and of course the mighty 747-400,s The 744 brought me to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Mexico city and some more. They where one of the best longhaul aircrafts ever. Sad to se them go. I flew it the first time in sept 1992 to KUL and CGK

I've flown on them with the A319, A320ceo, A320neo, A321ceo, A321neo, Airbus A380, Boeing 767 (when they used to operate it), Boeing 777-200ER and Boeing 787-8 Best memory of the airline - I bought in a mug from there brand and they gave us free drinks throughout the flight, I still do this to this day, since short-haul no longer offers free meals. AND THE MUSHROOM RISOTTO OMG I WANT IT BACK SO BADLYYYYYYYYY. Worst memory of the airline - Them introducing the Buy on Board service, very hard to manage via calling them etc.

I’ve flown BA on a huge variety of types: Vanguard, Tridents, One-Elevens, 737s, 747s, 757s, 767s and 777s, A320s, Embraer 170 and 190 and the Avro RJ100. I’d love to have tried the Viscount, Comet, VC10 and Concorde - too late now! In my experience, the Boeing twin aisle types don’t hold a candle to the A330 and A340 for quietness and passenger comfort. Favourite BA types? Probably the E190 and A320. Least favourite? Probably the 757, which felt unstable, and which sounded in the cabin as if someone had left a window open.

Would love to see the biggest chinese airlines such as china southern’s fleet as they are one of the biggest airlines in the world in terms of fleet size

I flew the ATP (Advanced Turbo Prop) to the Isle of Man in 2001. Over the years I’ve flown 737, 747, 757, 777, 319, 320 and 380.

It was not 777 vs A380, it was 777 vs A350-1000 and it is unclear why BA chose the former

I’m a fan of the B737/max, B757, A220, A320/neo, A321/neo. Love the A321xlr too.

Club world business on the 777....it takes a special kind of bastard to create and build such a horrid configuration...like no storage space and you're literally staring at the next person during take and landing....this is right up there with Unites 777-200er with their eight a breast business class

the legacy British full service carrier should resume the all Business® class service to New York (JFK) from London City (LCY) non-stop in their A321-200 Neo LR (if any) . . . BA should have taken the AIRBUS offer for additional refurbished A380-800 (ex-Air France & ex-Qatar Airways airframes) . . . operate the A380-800 on routes to India & South East Asia & also offer non-stop service between Mumbai (MUM) - Washington DC (IAD) & Hong Kong (HKG) - New York (JFK) via Delhi (DEL) . . . as they say, desperate times desperate measures . . . as for the B747-400 ER & B747-400 the most prudent move by British Airways at the time would be to acquire a fleet of 48 - 53 brand new B747-8I . . . the B747-8I would replace the legacy B747-400 and B777-200 ER . . .

Only ever flown on BA three and a *half times: Boeing 747-200 (1991) Boeing 767-300ER (2001) *Boeing 737-400 (2010) operated by Comair South Africa with BA livery. Airbus A320 (2020). You can see the 737 and A320 wing view landings on my channel 😁.

Took my first flight with BA last month, also my first time in First.on an international flight. Fitting that it was their first 78X, G-ZBLA. Amazing experience and champagne!

I would be a little bit wary these days about placing or accepting an order from Boeing. They have already lost some loyal customers as a result of the FAA investigation following the 2nd 737-800 MAX disaster in Africa.

Cleaning and maintaining their cabins would make a BIG difference to the customer experience, especially after the cabin "densification" programme... Until they do this reliably and start delivery of some ground based customer service, they remain #BelowAverage and #BestAvoided

I spot BA 777-200ERs almost every week when they fly LGW-KIN, I hope they fly the 787 here one day

BA still uses the Boeing 777-300 anyway. Such an old aircraft with no fast charging USB port. I was on one on BA078 quite recently and the seat covering of one of the seats was torn.

why british airways don't fly the boeing 787 to hong Kong?

a nice Air fleet all over the world.

Air India and Jaguar Land Rover are owned by Tata. It will be interesting to see how Air India competes with British Airways.

About time they retired their ancient 777-200's on their Caribbean routes. They're well past their use by date, even Business isn't that great on these..

I had not heard about the three Dreamliners that suffered damage from debris at O'Hare. Were any other aircraft damaged? It would seem highly suspect if the only three planes affected were all BA jets.

There are 3 BA’s A380 in Manila as of March 2022 .

I just flew with a BA-Cityflyer E175 and a now inactive A321-200 :)

I banged my eye on the emergency exit handle while flying British airways while I was young and still have a scar 🤕

Very interesting video.... thanks for sharing...!!

Make your next video on the fleet of Air India and restructuring.

It's handy to have an extra base on the other side of the planet in Manila to do any sort of servicing or repairs.

Still a major mistake by BA for retiring the 747s early

Why when ever you board a BA flight do you go "oh"...and not in a good way.

can you make a video like that about aegean airways plss

Hey, that door incident happened on my birthday in that time zone.

Interesting video. Thank you

I have flown on the airbus a320-232

The 777ERS is Very awful...

Don't BA also operate the A350 on some long haul routes? And does anyone know if there's a major difference in usage of the a350 on routes vs the 777-200?

BA Tristar, 757, 767, 747, and A320.

British Airways Cancelled To Make The Fleet The Airbus A330 In The Next Year

They have dornier do -228's

The queen of the skies is gone which is great news and long overdue. This 1960s monster is ugly, rather the “Fiona of the skies” lol

I have flown on BA a350-1000

When I was a teenager I flew Sydney to NYC via LA on the VC10. In those days B.A. was known as B.O.A.C. (early 70’s) Don’t remember a lot except because of a long layover at LAX (I think around 7 hours) I was given a room at the Sheraton Hotel plus a meal in their restaurant! Imagine that happening today. Since then I’ve been on their 747, and 777’s. They get a lot of flack for Business class product because up until very recently their 2-4-2 layout was the most crowded, however I never found the seat/bed uncomfortable and the service/food never less than very good and frequently excellent. So far my best business class experience has been with Air France/KLM.

I flew with BA for the past 13 years, let me share with you all the planes i went to with BA 744: 2015-2018 Upper deck 5 times, lower deck 13 times 772: 2007 - 2021 788: 2019 789: 2017 A388: 2016 77W: 2019 A319: 2019 A320N: 2021 A321N: 2021 Special liveries: 744 772 A319

I’ve flown on ba’s 319,320,321ceo and 320neo also 321neo and 777-200er and 787-8 Dreamliner and luckily 747-400

I recently flew on a A350-1000 TO Johannesburg and I have flown on many A319s, A320s and A321s and was lucky enough to fly on a 777-300ER to JFK earlier this year

I love the A350 and A380

I’ve had no bad experiences when travelling on British Airways. I recall being on a B757 from LHR to Istanbul

I flew to Dublin and Bilbao with BA. Their short haul service is appalling, even some budget airlines give you a bag of pretzels and a soda, but not the case with BA. They gave me 1 glass of tap water, 1! The stewardess told me I could buy a bottle for £5 if I wanted more, mmm no thanks… Their long haul service is good, they give passengers plenty of attention, proper meals, water service all the time (very much appreciated). BA’s 787-8s and A320s were well maintained when I flew with them

Just hope passenger numbers do pick up and BE do return more 380s to service, I have flown on BA A319/20, A380, B747 and B777, like others have said a flight on Concorde was always the ambition but unfortunately it never happened.

I have flown on BA's 380, 747, 767, 777,787, 320 & 321. I would have loved it if the 380 had a different feel, but we would never have known we were on such a massive double-decker jet, less climbing the inside stairs. The only main difference was the huge lavatories in Club World, a nice change from the usual closet size.

also Embraer 190

MAKE A VIDEO ON OMAN AIR 🇴🇲

Personally, My favorite British Airways aircraft in 2022 is the Airbus A319, Airbus A380, and Boeing 777

Yes,last february here in manila at luftansa teknik philippines theres 3 British Airways Airbus A380,now this month of march one Airbus A380 left

I’m happy to have flown my only 747-400 trip, on a BA Queen of the Skies before retirement :)

I saw one of the a380s in Madrid in may and im happy BA is flying the a380 to my home airport in Chicago! My dream of flying in one of those will come true very soon

As usual with Simple Flying articles, always missing key information, which should go hand in hand with the video. For example it would be nice to detail the kind of routes BA currently uses the aircraft on. Also maybe information like the average age of each aircraft type and the seating configuration.

I have flown on BA's 747-400 from Mumbai(India) to Heathrow back in 2015👍👍

i remember when a BA 767 could fly you from london heathrow to paris charles de gaulle in 45 minutes, such a fun flight

Good to see the A380 has a future for our sky's.

Correction, the door was ripped off at Cape Town now Johannesburg.

I wish I could fly BA A320✈️👨‍✈️

The queen does not exists anymore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m a fan of the 77W, A35K, B788/789/78X and A388. Love the 779 too.

I will miss the BA1 documentary on RU-vid since it's so rare. BA A318 from London City, so sad that this service was stopped recently

Comair in South Africa that uses B737 and British Airways livery?

747/777/380/350

Nice one! Now we need video on Indian carriers fleet

💙

Great video thank you.

747-400 and a350-1000

The same with air france could be perfect

Are they fitting the new suite in the A380’s? I’d heard it banded around since BA decided to keep them.

Since some 200ERs are GE90 powered, why are they not considered the 200LR?

A smart diverse fleet ✈️🇬🇧

Man I wish British Airways held their 747s

and the 737s in south africa

You don't speak about the british airways 747-8 freighter that they have keep for only 3 months
