BRITISH AIRWAYS 787-9 to SINGAPORE | Economy All You Need to Know!

I just booked this flight. I did the 11/12 hours direct to Korea in the past, so hoping I can handle this flight. But I used my points and could only get economy and I don’t think I can pay for any upgrades 😩

I would honestly rather shoot myself in the head with a pistol than fly economy east asia long haul. When we go Tokyo its business as a minimum, premier is a glorified economy. First class is the goal, maybe one day but for now business will suffice, lying down and having an actual kip is worth the 4k.

Normally i like British Airways because it was the first airline i flew with. ( 1970 Stuttgart/Berlin BEA Bac Super 1-11 ) The only thing is the food. It's really disapointing. They should use another type than the 787-9. Like on BA 15/16 a 777-300 ER.

I wouldn’t recommend BA either, poor food, cramped seats, low luggage allowance, poor snacks choice, small screens, small movie choice and the plane just felt old and tired.

We were sat in the plane for 4 hours due to a technical fault meaning we were on the plane for 16 hours 🥲

planning to go europe with british airways, nice information. Thank you

British Airways can Resume the Giant Airbus A380 Flights ✈️ to Singapore ✈️ 🛳 🇸🇬

Hey i really like how you filmed this- it gives a sense of what its like stuck in a seat for ages!

Thanks for the video

What is the baggage allowance in economy? We are flying to Sydney via Singapore in January

Great video

i like airplanes, but the longest flight i’ve done is 8-10 hour in 2019. i 12 now, but i want to go to singapore or tokyo. and as being british myself i’ve never been on british airways.



btw i like the video i sub to you.

Top tip: travel light(er).
Don't attempt a land crossing from Singapore into Malaysia. It's a nightmare especially on a weekend (see above).

I plan to visit London next year from Singapore and is contemplating flying BA economy instead of SQ. I wonder if BA would be good.

It's been a while since I flew with BA. Generally speaking, I found the service to be good and the flight fairly comfortable. Mind you, I'd try to sit on an aisle seat and an exit row if possible. The worst flight I experienced was with Continental on a DC10. That was the definition of cramped.

Oh my goodness, my parents would never have coped with self service check in. We did Singapore to London Heathrow 20 years ago with a British Airways 747, in Economy. I think we had a better experience.

No amenity kit for an almost 13 hour overnight flight?

I flew to south africa with BA. On outbound trip the cushion on my chair was non existent so in effect I was sitting on metal. Terrible experience. On the return trip........my inflight entertainment wasn't working. BA is no longer a premium airline. Passengers are secondary.

This is EXACTLY why I will never fly with them again.

Bro for the production quality and depth of your analysis you deserve wayyy more subscribers .. great review loved the video

It’s really sad that BA only offer what they think they can get away with , rather than what passengers desire , really enjoyed the vid

Wooden cutlery urgh… yuk

I think compare to other world class level airlines, BA is already good enough. I flied many airlines, BA still keep in top group.

Hope you claimed your compensation for late arrival - BA is in such a sorry state, thanks for the video

Man I can't believe it had the almost identical meal to you both and i went to america, awful flight in economy !

Love the vid

That honestly looked painful! I couldn't have done that many hours in economy, I applaud your endurance!

We flew BA from Tokyo on a 14hr 20 flight in economy on a 787-9 and it was not a good experience. We would never fly with BA again on such a long flight unfortunately. And we had limited IFE with unresponsive screens!

You do realize that if you are going to wear sweaters like that you have to always keep to her left (and that includes the seating). 😄

For new aircraft, poor that you had issues. Three hour delay captain's explanation was not clear. What was the reason?

Nice one JT! Thanks for sharing this, nice to see what BA is like for long-haul economy these days.

For a long eastward journey on a red eye flight I would have opted for premium economy especially as you traveled as a couple, you would have got two seats by the window. Plus more tier points.

You're certainly getting about these days Jamie! But as if the flight to SIN isn't long enough as it is, without having to be crammed into those seats for three hours without actually going anywhere! Very frustrating. Changi is a great airport though, so at least you had that reward at the end. 😊
