British Airways Long-Haul experience

Flight report by: Jack Bulmer

I was going to China for a holiday with my dad and this is my review.  We arrived at terminal 5 at 10.00 for our flight at 1.35pm. We stayed in the British airways lounge and then we arrived at the gate for boarding.

We had an exit row seat for more room, but there was one problem; I didn’t have a window!

I absolutely love planes and when I found that out I was not happy, there was one about 4 inches behind me I could look through but I had to keep looking over the chair. We taxied onto the runway and tookoff right on time.

We flew over different time zones including day and night and we arrived in China at 7.00 am China time.

Our flight back was even longer and it’s not very fun having a kid kicking the back of your chair and crying the whole flight. Apart from that the flights were fine and BA’s cabin crew are very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Here are some photos from my flights:
