    Very nice video. So much different than when I flew British Caledonian from the States to Gatwick in the late 70s on a very cramped 707. That was back when smoking was allowed, and I spent 9 hours breathing that stuff.

    Thankfully the days of smoking are gone, though the days of cheap tickets would be welcome back (even though they were mostly before my time). Yet they still have small/mini cigarette ash trays in the bathrooms

    Its quite often threatened that ba might move out of gatwick and its been done several times before starting in the 50's and i have witnessed this before and i used to live near the airport even before the airport was built, well the main airport wich was a racecourse before development in to the 1958 airpirt as we know it as the 1936 on e was considered inadequate for the adva cing growth of aviation as i say back then in around 58 ba never felt quite settled there,and it seems that not all are happy with gatwicks location for some reason, i suppose bieng south of london whereas heathrow is really in london now so many u,s airlines have left gatwick over the years again perhaps due to its location!

    For that trip we booked flights from Gatwick to Toronto, returning New York to Heathrow a few weeks later. The total trip was about £335 each for standard economy (hold baggage included), booked directly with BA. It would be cheaper if you use basic economy (which is what I use when travelling alone). Prices can fluctuate massively depending on what time of year you go and how far in advance you book etc, but can range from the high £200s all the way to well over £500 (assuming you fly BA on a return trip from London to Toronto in basic economy). It’s often cheaper to fly from LGW than LHR. These prices are similar for some other North American destinations. The more competition on a given route however, generally the lower the price (eg SFO, LAX, JFK, BOS)
