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.

That check in lady at Chicago was awesome! So friendly and full of beans. That’s how customer service should be.
I just watched your video about travelling with a handicap. I am now elderly and disabled and haven't flown since 1998. I flew Air Canada last week from Ottawa to Toronto and back. 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 lovely family. I do hope the kids get to enjoy loads of nice holidays and flights as they grow up. Happy childhood days and years.
Brilliant video! Very cheap actually! Keep it up Noel and hope you and your family are well!
Cabin crew looking at the kids like "oh shit, here we go again"
Seeing the staff at check in just made me think just how Chicago that check in really was and how genuine the people are! It's one of my favorite US Cities!

Ah the nostalgia of pre-covid flying 😭😭😭. I flew United Polaris First Class in the 767 from LHR-EWR 2 times. It was easily the most relaxing and pleasurable flights ever and I can’t wait to do it again. My next flight is this weekend on JetBlue Mint and I’m ecstatic! Can’t wait.

I was also very lucky to have flown first back from Washington to London and I absolutely loved it crew were friendly and engaging just like the ones you had, the food was excellent as was the seat so it’s great to see a consistent high level from British airways in many aspects of their service
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.)
You flew right over me on the coast of Lake Michigan after takeoff. I love when ohare puts the European routes right over us at around 5,000 feet.
I haven’t been on first class But in April I’m flying economy on the upper deck of the Ba A380
Hi Noel Great to see the family enjoying travelling with you. I still think BA need to invest in more style and quality. The first class lounge was like a back room in a small pub, you are a first class passenger!! COME ON BA pull your socks up and start raising your standards. Kind regards DS
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.
I love all of your videos, Noel. I flew on first class from Sāo Paulo to Tokyo via Los Angeles once and it was an amazing 24-hr flight.
As a recently retired crew member for Ba I worked in first , it was really good to see that your experience was good 😬
I live in Chicago. Wish I could have seen you!
Never seen someone so enthusiastic about a Boeing 747 toilet. Keep up the videos Noel I love them
The BOAC livery must be one of the coolest in aviation's history, all airlines should follow this great idea. Congrarulations for your video it was great!

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.
Love flying BA First - the seats on old First were better then new First but the look of the new cabin is much better - the noise wheel noise is freaky too gets me every time!
Enjoyed this one immensely. Great to see how the staff interacted with your children on the ground and in the air. Super service.

Love the attitude of the lady at the check-in desk. She seems to enjoy her job and is clearly quite a character. Hmmm I'm tempted to blow a few points on a BA 747 first class flight, purely for sentimental reasons. Great video Noel!
