- British Airways Trip Report from Amsterdam to London Heathrow onboard one of the British Airways Boeing 787 aircraft on a rainy summer morning.
It was a fantastic flight. Absolutely fantastic. Do you think is there a better way to cross the English Channel rather than on a British Airways Boeing 787?
Before the flight was had a massive planespotting session at Amsterdam. The flight was mainly inside the clouds, but the approach to London was one of the best I've ever seen. Gorgeous!!
Have you flown already with BRITISH AIRWAYS? Which route? Long or short-haul? How was the experience? Read you in the comments!

This is the most perfect channel on CZcams and this video is absolutely BRILLANT 😀😀😀
Haha Thanks a lot, Neli! Glad that you enjoy the video so much! :))
Nice bag of crisps for such a short flight :)
Fantastic report, awesome plane for a short flight!
What a thrilling flight Lucas.A 787 for crossing the English channel.I have never flown with BA .Many travellers have complaints about their service from what I've heard.Awesome filming and outstanding spotting my friend.Cheers
Great trip report. Nice views of London, thanks for sharing!
Wow, more brilliant views of London emerging from the clouds and an explanation of the differences between the inboard and outboard ailerons. Another great trip report. Thank you xx
Thanks a lot, Helen! Really glad that you've enjoyed it so much! :))
I always try to add as much info as possible to make the videos more interesting... I will try to add more of those little pieces of knowledge in future videos. Thanks for the feedback :)
Have a great Sunday and better week! :)
@@OnBoardHD Thank you very much for your reply. There are so many trip reports on CZcams but not many interesting or varied ones like yours. I watch on my TV and the scenery over London was really beautiful. Also having tried to learn Spanish for a few years, the subtitles add to my enjoyment. Enjoy your week too and I look forward to the next one xx
@@helensteele1950 Thanks a lot for the feedback, Helen.
Have a nice week too :))
loved the spotting session keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback ;-)
Great experience with the B787. Many problems with the lithium batteries in the first years but then a wonderful airplane.
Great view of London, a spectacular city (in London people say the looking at the sky you will always see an airplane...and it is true!).
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, mate :)
It was a great experience on the BA 787! Looking forward to my next one! Hopefully long-haul! :)
Great stuff as always. Yes great views of London we do have a great city in England!! Schipol looked surprisingly busy!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks a lot, mate!
Have a great week! :)
Amsterdam is a great Airport for spotting. I love being able to just sit back watch the movements from the terminal. It was interesting to hear the female cabin crew doing the safety message at the start having an accent from my local area too. ✈️
This was my first time outside the Schengen area in Amsterdam airport and it was one of the best experiences I had at an airport! While I was recording all those planes I was already making mental plans for 2021! haha Hopefully, we'll beat the pandemic with the vaccine in the first part of 2021...
Beautiful video
OMG that landing
Glad that you've enjoyed it :)
Amazing video, amazing approach. Missing my country. Love you London! 💙
Thanks a lot, Rafael!
Glad that you've enjoyed this Trip Report! :))
Great video as always. Thanks for explaining the ailerons! I’ve always wondered what was going on there.
Thanks a lot, Michael! Glad that you've found it interesting! :)
Have a nice week!
Gracias OnboardHD por hacerme disfrutar con este nuevo vídeo ,pues entre 8 y 10 veces voy a ese aeropuerto al año pero desde que empezó la pandemia ya no he ido ,el avión de Britsh Airways impresionante y las vistas de Londres espectaculares. MUCHAS gracias y hasta el próximo .saludos
Muchas gracias, Conchi! Me alegra que te haya gustado una vez más :)
Que tengas una muy buena semana!
Thank you for the trip report, which was very interesting, especially the extra on screen information. Your pictures are also very clear. Flying over London was great too. Happy travelling !! Greetings from Australia.
Increíble el DreamLiner... ❤️❤️
Muchas gracias, Manuel! Un placer que te haya gustado!
Saludos y buena semana! :)
"Window blinds now must be set to clear" ................. that`s when you know your flying on a Boeing 787, totally unique and utterly ground breaking aircraft, its beautiful.
Snacks included in the price? I`m guessing its because the 787 fleet don`t have buy on board as they are normally long-haul with food included. In Europe, BA charge for
food or drinks. Guess you didn't get above FL260 on such a short flight, hence the clouds. Nice spotting, love the Air Belgium livery, no A340 has ever been dressed
so well, fantastic views over London, even Buckingham Palace, great video Lucas.
Haha Absolutely! For me, it still sounds a little weird when they say that, but I'm getting used to it... :D
No, no, the snacks included on the ticket apply to all BA fleet doing European flights. It's something extremely weird! While all airlines stopped serving almost any catering, BA started to do it without charging extra for it... It's the unique case I've seen, and that's something I should have highlighted on the video. My mistake there...
Andrew, I'm really glad that you've enjoyed the video so much! Thanks for words and support! It means a lot! Have a great week :))
Excelente reporte, tal como nos tienes acostumbrados. Sin dudas uno de mis canales favoritos y de los que mas disfruto el contenido.
Me encantaría ver la aproximación completa en tu canal, es una de los pocos videos en los que se puede ver claramente lo perfecta que es la aproximación a LHR cuando las pistas 27L/R están en uso.
Mil gracias por ser la ventana al mundo en esta cuarentena!
Muchas gracias, Ramiro! Me alegra que te haya gustad tanto este Trip Report! :))
Lo cierto es que lo que mostré en el vídeo es casi la aproximación íntegra, pues había gran cantidad de nubes y la mayoría de lo que grabé eran nubes. En este vídeo, al editarlo, borré todos esos momentos sin interés en los que sólo se veían nubes, y dejé los interesantes.
Saludos! Nos vemos en futuros vídeos! :)
Very nice to watch ! Goed camerawork and information. Indeed a beautiful approach 👌🏼
Thanks a lot, mate!
Really glad that you've enjoyed the video so much :))
Love ur vids!
great approach over London
Nice one 👍
Thanks, Shaun :)
Que buena aproximación a Londres!!! mas que una aproximación parecía un city tour por la ciudad!! ;-) gracias por compartirlo!!
Muchas gracias, Diego!
Un placer que te haya gustado tanto!
Saludos y buena semana! :)
Well put together and nice to see Amsterdam and of course the 787 which is a very nice plane to fly, those windows a nice bonus. Found it very quiet in flight too. Nice place to be and ta for putting this up. russ
Gran vídeo, excelentes vistas y muy buen avión, este pájaro y su competidor el A350 son claras muestras de lo que es capaz la buena ingeniería. Enhorabuena y saludos.
Muchas gracias, Carlos! Me alegra que te haya gustado! :)
Sin duda, los A350 y B787 serán los aviones de largo radio que veremos hasta en la sopa durante los próximos 20 años! Gran máquinas!
Saludos :)
Great report. Always nice to know you are in my neck of the woods. Be safe Mick.🇬🇧
Thanks a lot, Mick! :))
Have a great week!
YAY you finally did British airways XD
And we'll have some more BA flights in the next months :)
Linda luz . O piloto da British Airlines foi muito especial nesse vôo. Que lindo sobrevoo sobre Londres. Que avião lindo, lindo interior, limpo.
Muchas gracias, Delio! :))
Hola, qué tal estás?. Definitivamente, no me canso de ver tus videos y este en especial, me está buenísimo. La aproximación al aeropuerto fue espectacular, con esas vistas de Londres. Solo resta agradecer el esfuerzo que haces, grabando esos viajes tan fantásticos. Mil gracias, Cuidate
Gran video Lucas!!! Yo vole con BA desde Tenerife Sur a Gatwick en un A320 y fue simplememte sensacional en todo.
Muchas gracias, Nacho! Me alegra que el vídeo te haya traído buenos recuerdos de tu vuelo!
Ojalá pronto podamos volver a volar sin restricciones!
Saludos :)
Espectacular las vistas de London, aún que algo sobre cargado. 🌍👍✈
gran video ;)
Muchas gracias :)
Very nice trip report! Cool to see u review the Ba 787 - I also flew the ba 787 back from San Jose last year 👍🏻
Amazing video!

Thanks a lot, Akum!
Glad that you enjoy the video so much!
Thanks for your nice words :)
¡Qué aproximación final hermosa!
Muchas gracas, Kihwan! Me alegra que te haya gustado!
Saludos :)
Excelente video Lucas como siempre, vamos por parte. En primer lugar concuerdo contigo de lo gigante que es el Aeropuerto AMS, yo lo considero que es como un Centro Comercial desde donde despegan aviones jajaja!, es enorme, ya he estado ahi unas 3 veces, sin ir mas lejos, cuando volé hacia Innsbruck en Transavia (a propósito amigo, sería super cool que te hicieras esa ruta (una vez que se levanten las restricciones covid) , es hermosa, sobretodo la aproximación entre los alpes, te la recomiendo si es que tienes la suerte de llegar a la pista 26). Ok, volviendo al video, Lucas te agradezco por haber grabado el momento de encendido de los motores RR del 787, genial como suenan, me encanta y también grabaste cuando va rodando y hacen cambios de potencia y se oyen esas bestias rugir, excelente, gracias por eso. Por otra parte pareciera que para tan corto viaje fuera un avión muy grande? o iba mucha gente?. El despegue de los 787 es super suave, apenas y te das cuenta de que ha despegado, buen trabajo de la gente de Boeing. Gracias Lucas por la información técnica de los alerones interiores y exteriores, no tenía idea de los usos que tienen, pero si me había dado cuenta que en el aire los exteriores casi no se mueven. Bonita la app a EGLL, se pudo ver claramente la rueda sobre el río Thamesis, super!!!. Antes de que se me olvide, el planespotting en AMS genial, puras bestias grandes esperando para hacer viajes largos. Gracias por este trip cortito pero excelente. Saludos desde Chile amigo!.
The 787 makes me crazy 😍
It's a great plane :)
WOW!!!!
Espero que haya sido la misma reacción después de ver el vídeo :D
Después de el vídeo ha sido: WOOOOOO jeje
@@spcarlos Jejeje :DD
Nice!
Thanks! :)
hermoso!!
Are they still using the widebody during the pandemic? Wow! 💪🏾
WOILD LOVE TO FLY ON ALL 3 THE 787 SERIES JETS
Glad that you've enjoyed the video much!
Have a great week! :)
MUY BUENAS VISTAS DE LONDRES!
Muchas gracias, Eduardo! Me alegra que te haya gustado! :)
Saludos
Barbaro la llegada a London.Aunque si me gusto mas la del vuelo de Roma-London .Spectacular cuando comentas los detalles del vuelo.Ahh no te se escapa ni un avion( american airline)genial me encanta.
Muchas gracias, Guglielmo! Un placer que te haya gustado tanto! :)
Saludos! :)
Nice i love it.. Mybe sam day you coming in Saudi arabia ( jeedah)..
Thanks a lot!
Let's see after this pandemic... =(
What an awesome video!!! Btw i think you would smash with a gimbal on your phone
Thanks a lot, mate! Glad that you've enjoyed it!
I guess you mean for the "walking parts" of the videos. I'm really thinking about it... do you know any that works fine and is not extremely expensive?
Thanks :)
@@OnBoardHD yeah i meant those. Unfortunately i don't know much of that market so i can't suggest you something based on my use. You should see something like Dji Cosmo or similars!
@@BomberMilan99 I will make some research and then read reviews. :)
Nunca he viajado con British Airways pero me encantaría hacerlo algún día volar a Londres.
Seguro que muy pronto todos podremos volar sin restricciones :)
This is a great video. :)
I'm glad you show every aspect of the trip including the airports. And another plus is that you don't show the shelves of the taxfree shops, for a lot of minutes like other travel channels do.
Thanks a lot, Rudi! Glad that you've enjoyed this one! :)
What I try to do on my videos is something that I would enjoy watching. Before I've started doing videos, I was always looking in CZcams for some videos like the ones I'm now making, but there was only 1 channel doing them at the moment: Simply Aviation. So I've decided to create my own ones. : And here we are.. :)
And now you're even better than Simply, because Simply stops after the landing most of the time. :)
Nice, the air Belgium airbus is flying weekly to Paramaribo for Surinam Airways. SLM has its own Boeing tripple seven, but still now Etops licenses.
Thanks for the info. :)
Hola perdon por la inactividad pero sigo viendo tus videos :)
Bienvenido de nuevo! :)
Coool music
Thanks for the feedback :)
Fantástico el Vídeo. Una pena que el vuelo fuese tan corto. Sólo 30 minutos? (Si no me he equivocado). El avión es una maravilla!! Muy moderno y muy limpio con el medioambiente. Yo aún no he tenido la oportunidad de volar en el Dreamliner
Muchas gracias! Vuelo muy corto, sí. Básicamente consiste en cruzar el Canal de la Mancha y ya está jeje
Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo!
Saludos! :)
I have been on BA from London City Airport to Palma De Mallorca :)
Wow! I've never been to London City airport
Hopefully, I will be able to visit it in 2021! :))
@@OnBoardHD LOL! I haven't been to LHR but I have been to LCY.. I actually live close to it.. I just take 1 short bus journey to it :)
Buen vuelo man! La próxima te recomiendo ir desde Madrid a Tenerife Norte, si cojes el vuelo que sale a las 15:00 puedes ir con el 787 👀
Ya hay varios vuelos en la ruta MAD-TFN-MAD en A330 y B787 con Air Europa en el canal ;)
I have flew the new British airways a350 in economy kong haul between London Heathrow and dubai
Loved the report! I wonder why BA sent their 787 on this flight to AMS, and seems like they gave a better service too! (I never got the included snacks on my 2 hour flight to KRK)
Because there is an extremely high cargo demand between AMS and LHR
Its about current aircraft availability and capacity, BA have most of their fleet in storage at the moment. Indeed, normally you would have to buy food and drinks
from the M&S menu on a BA flight to Krakow. The 787`s do not have buy on board capability, that`s why some snacks were included in the price free of charge.
Aviation is a bit crazy at the moment, especially in Europe, they will get through this, things will slowly begin to improve by spring 2021. Keep flying IFLYPlanes.
@@amc3 Ah! Thank you :)
Que bonito aterrizaje en Londres!.Cual es tu preferido lucas,el dreamloiner 787 o el Airbus 350? Saludos!!
Muchas gracias, Henry! Me alegra que te haya gustado!!
Esteticamente me gustan mucho los 2, creo que no podría elegir uno sobre el otro. Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista de comodidad... me quedo con los A330 y A340 jaja
El tener 2 asientos en las filas de las ventanillas (en lugar de 3 como en el B787 y A350) es una diferencia tremenda! Si bien, es cierto que para los que van sentados en el medio del avión, tener 3 asientos es mucho más cómodo que tener 4....
Saludos :)
@@OnBoardHD Así es Lucas, siempre se me olvida la comodidad, es cierto lo del tercer asiento!. El interior del 350 de iberia es espectacular, me gusta!. Gracias lucas y disfruta tu Domingo! Saludos!
@@henrysteppel2031 Muchas gracias! Saludos :)
I was going 2 Amsterdam in june but becuase i c19 didnt glad i didnt book ): miss my trips abroad ): 😥😭
All plans were destroyed... =(
@@OnBoardHD i hopefully next year paris and when finally gone 4 good Toronto:) & los angles :) one day japan :)
@@natashabolton2338 Best of luck! :)
Any idea of the aircraft choice? Cargo, crew training perhaps...?
Great trip neverthless 👍🏼
In my opinion, for maintaining pilot recency. Legally, to operate as a pilot you need 3 takeoffs and 3 landings done by yourself in the last 90 days. As the B787 fleet is basically grounded, if they want to avoid simulator sessions prior to operating again, they must do some kind of short flights to maintain that recency.
Cheers!
Great to see you on board a BA 787 OnBoardHD ;-)I have only flown twice with BA years ago to the USA which was on board a 747-400 (Awesome) but sadly all of these aircraft have been retired early due to Covid ;-( Unfortunately BA mainline only service London airports which considering they are the UK's national airline is a disgrace. I live in Birmingham which is the 2nd largest city in the UK and has NO British Airways services, unbelievable ;-( They expect people from Birmingham to travel to Heathrow to catch there flights which can be a 3/4 hour car journey if the traffic around London is bad which it normally is. Sorry BA but if you want me to travel on your flights you can fly from my local airport, which is the reason why I would fly with either KLM via Amsterdam or Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich on long haul flights. ;-)
Thanks a lot, Brum! Glad that you've enjoyed this one! :)
Wow! The B747... as I probably told you already, it was on my plans for this 2020 to fly on the B747 and A380, probably several times... now, it will be impossible to fly on a 747-400, as the only important airline that will maintain the B747 will be Lufthansa and only the -8 series.
I have a planned flight through Birmingham in December! haha But probably, I won't be able to do it due to the pandemic. However, it's outside the initial lockdown period announcer by the UK gov. so, for now, it's still scheduled... Let's see what happens...
Si embarcas de la puerta D 10 supongo que esperas que tú experiencia a bordo con BA se de 10. 😂😂👍😊
Jajaja Malísimo chiste, pero me ha hecho reir :D
lo se jajajajaja!!
@@rmd4209 :DD
Como puedes hacer un vuelo tan corto con un 787? Nunca lo entiendi
Tu si que sabes hacer vidios
Jeje Pues muchas gracias :))
Muy bueno el vídeo a pesar de ser corto, lo mejor sin duda el pedazo de avión que es el B787 y también me ha gustado ver todos los que estaban en el aeropuerto de Amsterdam; pero sin duda lo mejor de todo las vistas de Londres . Una pregunta, vale la pena un avión tan grande para un recorrido tan corto en términos de coste. Un cordial saludo y buen fin de semana.
Muchas gracias, Rafa! Me alegra que te haya gustado! :)
En mi opinión, British Airways hace estos vuelos con B787 precisamente porque son de lo más corto que tienen en su red. El motivo que veo yo aquí es el de mantener la experiencia de sus pilotos de B787 (que ahora no están volando casi nada en largo radio). Por ley, un piloto debe haer al menos 3 despegues y 3 aterrizajes en los últimos 90 días previos a un vuelo para poder operar sin tener que ir a una sesión de refresco en el simulador.
Además, supongo que desde Amsterdam a Londres siempre habrá algo de carga que pueda ayudar a que el vuelo no lleve tantas pérdidas con este avión.
Saludos!
Me parece una respuesta lógica así los pilotos no pierden esas horas de vuelo y no tendrán que pasar por el simulador , una buena idea que desconocía gracias por decírmelo siempre es bueno aprender nuevas cosas . un abrazo
@@Hassell163 Nada! Feliz domingo y buena semana! :)
7:58 do you know why the part of the flap (?!! not sure what it is) ist moving?
guess i got the answer later in your video :D
hehe Hope you found it interesting :)
Nice video, pls forgive me, i wanna ask you some, traveling and making trip reports, Is that your job? You get paid for that?
It's not my job, but slowly it will probably be some kind of "part-time job". I have my main job, but the channel will turn into a secondary soon, probably. CZcams pays me for the advertisings shown on the videos, yes. That's the only way to continue buying around 10 tickets per month. I can't call it job because I'm losing money every single month since 5 years ago.
Is the 787 a *beast?*
I absolutely think so!
Don't you? :)
@@OnBoardHD yes kinda!
I haven't been on a long haul flight EVER..
I was just twice on a long-haul trip =/
More than me ;)
KLM B744 destination: nowhere 😥
Really sad... The last KLM B747 were being used for cargo flights. But, apparently, the very last did the its last flight1 week ago =(
300km with a 787? UHM lemme book this
Hehe Have a good flight! :D
@@OnBoardHD hhaha thanks
I should go to Abu Dhabi in march with AirBaltic but this virus stopped it😭😭
Well... Let's see how the situation looks in March 2021... we still have 5 months to get there...
good luck! :)
@@OnBoardHD thank you i really love your videos.😁😁
@@filipslourenss11 Thanks :))
Which airport do you like more? Gatwick or London Heathrow.
I guess Heathrow for the nice planespotting you can do from Terminal 2. :)
But Gatwick brings me better memories because I was almost always taking holiday flights from LGW.
@@OnBoardHD Oh I'm actually taking a easyjet flight from London Gatwick terminal 4 to paphos airport in August I bet its really nice in Gatwick as you said.
Bit of an inefficient route for a 787?
Isn’t this the 787 that the landing gear collapsed?
I don't know. I've heard it happened recently on the gate, but I don't know which plane was exactly.
I searched and it is lol
Nice video, Nice video of our capital city. However on Thursday Nov. 5th until December 2nd, passengers are not permitted to leave England in any transport including the planes unless strictly important like important business trips.
If you are returning to any airport in England, you must go straight home and isolate. Any people are not permitted to go to England during the time unless strictly important and you are British citizen.
These are the rule from our government.
Why are they using such a giant to fly so little I mean you can use it to fly to further destinations like India or America
In my opinion, for maintaining pilot recency. Legally, to operate as a pilot you need 3 takeoffs and 3 landings done by yourself in the last 90 days. As the B787 fleet is basically grounded, if they want to avoid simulator sessions prior to operating again, they must do some kind of short flights to maintain that recency.
