Im 14 and I've never been on a plane. So i cant wait to go to London soon on ba. I watch videos on it every time😅. Im obsessed. Also Emirates 😂😊❤❤

@Stavanger513 Год назад

I was born in Trinidad and Tobago but now I live in Stavanger, Norway but for summer this year I’m in Trinidad. And I flew also on 777-200 and I flew on a direct flight from London or LGW. And finally someone has made a trip report in Trinidad 🎉

@donnadwarika6370 20 дней назад

❤Yes so Great love seeing home😂❤.

@mini-land Год назад

A unique route you took, great video as always.

@missm10 Год назад

they do a few routes like this in the Carribbean. Another one is flying from Gatwick to Aruba via Antigua.

@muggleworm Год назад

Finally, my home country St.Lucia 🇱🇨 is being featured.

@TeddyBearGaming999 11 месяцев назад

Glad to see BA has updated the cabin of these old 777s to keep them going. I flew on it a couple times with the super old economy cabin back in 2018 and it was terrible

@Abraham-uk4xy Год назад

Catering out of Port of Spain is superb. The dinner tray is overflowing with stuff

@well-blazeredman6187 Год назад

An out-of-the-ordinary video, thank you. I've done a number of these two-sector flights with BA, to and from the Windies. On one, I was the only passenger in the rear cabin of a 777! How resentful I was at having paid extra for an exit seat. BA's breakfasts often disappoint, flying back to the UK from the region.

@brkitdwn Год назад

Always look at the seat map to see what seats are taken. You get a pretty good idea when most are empty

@roymackenzie-jy4lr Год назад

I remember flying to Orlando with British Airways, and they served a mushroom and chicken wrap with cheese, like how random and I know this isn't breakfast it was a pre landing snack but still

@mattm1547 Год назад

Hope you enjoyed Trinidad. Also BA has now commenced a direct service to LGW instead of a stop over.

@doveronefoxtrot4417 8 месяцев назад

These 2 stage flights are a bum ache. I did tobago in May and that went via St Lucia. Over 10 hours on the aircraft. A killer !

@christianwilliams9010 Год назад

So happy to see my country Trinidad &Tobago. Great review yet again.

@tobyprice1092 Год назад

Before on BA you would have received two full meal services with the British breakfast always supplied. For a 10hr flight it should be two meals not a yoghurt and a croissant. That seems a bit stingy.

@Stavanger513 8 месяцев назад

Well it more of a 7 hour to 8 hours

@zoepushong7258 11 дней назад

Glad you said this thought the same for 8 hour 45 minute flight I was shocked.

@Race346KD Год назад

An interesting yet intriguing video. Who’s else wants to fly to st Lucia?

@mylhodoppenberg Год назад

Was just thinking about a trip report from British airways today! Amazing timing haha. Love it!

@reyhosein2533 Месяц назад

Did this flight May 2024, returning home just a few days ago as of watching your video, the wifi is only free to first class passengers, and B.A. did sell POS-UVF flights on its POS-LGW...my flight was direct to LGW, they no longer do the UVF stopover.....i believe as of this year. I was quite pleased with my flight, customer service, food and beverage, seat legroom/comfort etc. ❤😊😊

@noahgreaser1213 Год назад

I was on Flightradar24 yesterday and saw this flight with the exact route on a 777 with British airways, so I might of just tracked a flight that i didn’t know that Felix was on

@devindrabalkaran3159 Год назад

Nice video. I used this particular route with BA pretty regularly pre-COVID (5 or 6 return flights per year between POS and the UAE via Gatwick and Heathrow). Happy for the direct route now. Will be on this flight to the UK come September.

@janmitchell5263 Год назад

9:11 BA used to sell tickets from POS-UVF and UVF-POS. So what used to happen is passengers for St. Lucia would disembark at this point. I took this flight several times.

@lucucaracha Год назад

I flew on G-VIIJ a while back, a plane only a year older but still equipped with the old cabin...let's just say I wasn't exactly comfortable in there🫠

@Nabeel_2 Год назад

Nice video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a British airways wing that was not so dirty 🤦🏾‍♂️

@get2dachoppa249 Год назад

Although I’m not Trinidadian, I am of West Indian heritage, so I was reading the narration with a Trini accent.

@jacquesabella5451 Год назад

I flew from LGW to CUN and vice versa on BA b777-200er. It was actually quite nice, the food was great! 2 hot meals in every fight and the food quality was great! The entertainment system is quite decent as well.

@kevinf-b5065 Год назад

So glad BA have refurbished this airplane. I travelled on it when it was only a couple of months old from Gatwick to Tobago in economy. I was horrified that on a new 777 it was configured in a charter mode with only 29" leg room and narrow seats. There was no ventilation and the cabin temperature made us both sweat at LGW in the winter!!

@trin162 10 месяцев назад

That is because they place their worst product in the Caribbean and Africa and parts of Asia. Also, their over product and services across the board is sub-par. Caribbean Airlines COULD have taken advantage of this but Trinidadians are not like how they once were back in the 80s and 90s.

@brian402 Год назад

Awesome✈trip report there Felix,that dinner looked pretty good all-in-all but that breakfast.,i think B.A still need to up their game with some improvements on their behalf.

@gatechecked Год назад

A small correction. Passengers were allowed to book flights between POS and UVF at the time of your video. However they've since switched to non-stop service between POS and LGW.

@msmithuk Год назад

14:13 So cool seeing my hometown of Southampton from the air! 😁

i can't miss any Simply Aviation video! also the fact that you flew on a 777 that is 24 years old is amazing isn't it?

@jasminejohnston6393 Год назад

I’d do anything to get on a plane again. The last time I flew, it was in a helicopter over Quadra Island (an island off the west coast of Canada) which was fun but I wanna fly in an airplane again

I'll be going to England this year... For summer I'll go, it's a non-stop flight on BA and of course I'm Trinidadian 😁

@captainslooo Год назад

Great video. Unfortunately the 3-4-3 configuration on the 777 is a bit too dense for my liking. Flew it recently and my elbows and feet were touching my neighbours..

@jirehla-ab1671 Год назад

Mostly not a problem with flights flying passengers who mostly are smaller in average than most of you in the west.

@raykan3643 Год назад

I don't know that some airlines allow passengers who are staying for the continue flight can stay on the plane . Last time I took a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Taipei then continue heading to Osaka. but they treated us as usual transferring passengers which means we have to leave the plane to do security check then go back to the plane. (it's the same plane )

Why don't they clean 777-200ER wings? Why -300's wings are cleaner instead

@brkitdwn Год назад

Has a lot to do with what kind of maintenance was recently done on the aircraft. Age makes a difference and newer parts

@get2dachoppa249 Год назад

As an aircraft mechanic, I can tell you that type of staining doesn’t rinse off, you have to scrub it off, and that’s only going to happen so often.

@avionreview3 Год назад

Hi Felix! It was a fantastic video, and a great trip indeed! Welcome to the United Kingdom! :D

@Cherburgo1944 Год назад

@zaoshanghaozhongguo1989 Год назад

14:33 hoping they would clean those flaps after landing lol

@brkitdwn Год назад

Airlines have been like that for years. Some do clean them and usually the whole plane is like that. Spotless

@BRTripReport Год назад

Quite a fun route! I'm curious as to why BA don't sell tickets between Port of Spain and St. Lucia... Maybe some regulatory concerns.

@michellocci Год назад

Local airline in the carribean they do domestic flights islands

@tristfully12 Год назад

They did! But right now the route is no longer existent, they now have direct flights to LGW from POS.

@janmitchell5263 Год назад

BA stopped the POS-UVF (St. Lucia) route at the end of March. Trinidad use to have 5 flights weekly but now it has been cut to 3 direct flights weekly. BA now flies from UVF (St. Lucia) to Guyana (Mondays & Thursdays) and Tobago (Tuesdays & Fridays) since dropping the Trinidad route and Grenada gained an extra day (Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays)

@rezaalan3991 Год назад

Great flight, I don't know this flight is considered as Fifth freedom or not, since between Port of Spain and Vieux Fort, BA didn't sell ticket, but picking new passenger grom Vieux Port to London.

@spk1983 Год назад

Yes, a fifth freedom flight was possible on this route - you were able to book flights between POS and St. Lucia on this schedule (and for a bit cheaper than the alternatives at the time). Now the route is a direct flight between POS and LGW.

@MrBlazemaster525 Год назад

Damn that's interesting!although I have to ask why does it end at Gatwick?

@get2dachoppa249 Год назад

Gatwick is cheaper for the airlines to operate out of in terms of gate prices. Also, LHR can be slot constrained, so the premium markets get LHR, second tier gets LGW, mostly.

I flew on this BA aircraft type to Barbados last year. I really wasn't impressed! No charging points, IFE wasn't working for half the passengers! Luckily mine was working. The food was dreadful and so was the wooden cutlery.The cabin crew service was mediocre to say the least.
