    Noel Philips: inflight Video I’ve flown BA First a couple of times to/from Johannesburg, outbound on the A380 and return on the 747. Although I love the 747 is was a different experience on the A380 as the foot rest is bigger and allowed my wife to comfortably sit opposite me for dinner. Overall I loved the service and the Concord lounge at LHR T5 was great.

I didn't ever get the electric personal transport cart but the Air Canada people that pushed me in a wheelchair were great. Very friendly and supportive. My return flight from Toronto to Ottawa got cancelled - I didn't know that it was possible to cancel a planeload of passengers but obviously it is - and I had to wait for standby which was stressful and nerve-wracking but again the Air Canada staff were great. I got home 6 ½ hours later than I was supposed to.

    What a fun video to watch, given the kids. These days I enjoy taking my grandkids on trips. Seeing the old BOAC livery blew my mind! I remember flying Boston - Manchester on a BOAC VC-10 in 1967. That will date me for sure. (I was an 18 year-old punk headed out to study in England for a year as an exchange student.)

    I flew with two children under 5, London to LA. The flight was full, we were in the 5 seat row in a 747, this was 1986, no inflight entertainment, just the big screen at the front. The flight was full of kids, as soon as we took off they all started screaming! The air pressure gave them earache. The American lady in our 5th seat was a nurse and was called on by the crew to go to check all the kids! My kids were ok 🙏. Then the airline cancelled the adult movie and played a Bugs Bunny cartoon, stroke of genius! All the kids were silent. The nurse in our row was so lovely and helped me get through that crowded flight with two youngsters, who were well behaved 😇I’ll never forget her.

    As a kid in the 80's, I got to fly Business class with KLM in the upper deck of a 747. Best flight ever!!!! The seats back then didn't have the glitz, or the glamour or the comfort of today of course, but flying in the upper deck of a jumbo jet, it felt truly amazing. Very very lucky indeed. I rarely fly these days thanks to fibromyalgia and other chronic health issues, so I cherish these memories even more.
