Welcome to another full flight video featuring the British Airways Airbus A350-1000 from London to Toronto! This was also my first time on the new World Traveller Plus product, and enjoyed very much the spectacular level of service.
This was filmed earlier this month, and in light of the coronavirus outbreak, many people, like me, were scrambling to find a way home considering the increasing travel restrictions as a result. This made the flight very full in economy with lots of families travelling together, and likely because of that, the gate agent upgraded me and few other individual travellers, free of charge at the last minute, as they needed our original economy seats. This made it one of my best flights ever as a result.
This specific aircraft, G-XWBD, was not the original one we were supposed to take. G-XWBE was our original assigned aircraft, however it suffered a technical problem which needed extended maintenance and therefore needed an aircraft change. Still, the flight was delayed by 5 hours. We were handed out food vouchers that is worth £10 and can be redeemed at any restaurant in the airport. I ordered a special vegan meal from my original ticket, and given my last minute upgrade, it meant that they were unable to make a new meal that is more consistent with World Traveller Plus, which features ceramic plates and metal cutlery. Still, it tasted excellent. Because the crew were nearing their maximum allotted time due to the delay, they were unable to serve the second meal. In place of that, there was a self-serve bar in the galley with snacks.
Cheers to British Airways for making this such an enjoyable flight! Enjoy the spectacular scenery! In the mean time, stay home and stay safe to protect others and prevent spreading the disease!
