I mean, it was no London to Glasgow on an overnight bus, but it was still pretty good!!! I'm hoping this video rocks for you like the bus one did so you can balance future content between luxury and torture!!!
Cheers Matt, yep I’ve really enjoyed reading most peoples comments. I’ve added a few words to the ‘comment firewall’ 😂 but overall, the engagement’s been positive 👍
Hope you enjoyed Mexico! Proudly called it home for a long time. Thanks for the review, was fun. I'm a regular on the MEX-LHR route and nice to hear other's opinion. 7A is my go-to seat whenever I can get it. You're right about the light meals being good. I've often not asked for them as I tend not to be hungry after having eaten in lounge then eating the first meal. More room for tacos on the way home
I did Thomas and I hope to get back there one day! It was really good to experience some of the ‘real’ Mexico too, if you’ve seen some of my other videos from there, the Cablebus, the coach journey, domestic flights, Acapulco etc - a very memorable time without a doubt 😊👍
The luxury lie flat bed and nice meals look nice, but I couldn't help get the feeling that in your heart of hearts, you'd prefer to be on a National Express coach!
After 3 flights and countless hours of flying later, you still look less stressed than after your awful bus trip! Will look forward to the rest of the trip, nice to see a little jump in your subscribers too! 👍🍻
I'm doing DUB-LHR-DFW-MEX / MEX-LHR-DUB in Club in December. You're right, saved well over £1K by not starting the BA itinerary in the UK. Just doing a cheap Ryanair connection either end and a night at the Premier Inn Dublin airport. Still came out ahead.
@@SalehRealistI did book through BA but booked my BA ticket to originate and terminate from Dublin rather than Glasgow. Can’t remember how much I saved but it was more than the Ryanair flight Glasgow to Dublin and the hotel at Dublin airport cost. Works sometimes and sometimes not but worth a look.
Thanks Sean. Yep, the older BA Ying yang configuration but I enjoyed it tbh. Worth it if you get the chance and fly from Dublin - way cheaper than LHR 😊👍
It's normally best to fly to Stockholm when doing long distance flights across the Atlantic. You can even get a poncy BA economy ticket for the Stockholm leg, or just easyjet.
Cheers Nicholas, I hope you’re right. I’m not due to fly with them in business long haul until September unfortunately but yep, maybe it’ll be even better by then.
I paid £26 to get to Slovakia and back in 2017, thats probably the best flight bargain I've had in my life :). Great video as always Mark, nice to see you in a bit of luxury after that megabus journey haha
Never had any discounts but have managed a couple of upgrades, first with JAL who moved me to business class between Sydney and Narita and a second from Malaysian Airlines who moved me from economy to first class why I couldn't tell you but never look a gift horse in the mouth. Glad you had a good flight and hope you had a wonderful time in Mexico, cheers and stay safe.
I'm a little late to the party with this video. Sorry about that. I love the breakdown of the passenger area that you gave but I would love to have seen more about the other sections of accomodation in Business Class. Especially the dual sections should my wife and I ever get to trravel like that. Keep up the great videos. Thanks.
Cheers Alan, yep, take your suggestions on board for next time. Appreciate the watch and all I would say is this is the old Club World seat and the newer suites, well I haven’t travelled on them yet but will be in September on a 777 down to New Delhi. Watch this space 👍
Cheers mate. I can’t afford the outlandish stuff some of the well-known CZcamsrs get up to, so relating my content with viewers and engaging with them (eventually!) is more my thing. Thanks for the comment 😊👍
i have for some reason in recent years found out that flying from dublin to europe is cheaper than from Liverpool or manchester , in 2019 we flew on ryanair liverpool to dublin , dublin to madrid and the return from alicante to belfast international then easy jet to liverpool it was about £200 all in , similar in may just gone , ryanair to dublin , then vueling to paris orly , same coming back to liverpool it was about £170 return , when in the UK these flight were minimum £200 one way , its got to be taxes maybe , but dublin seems cheaper .
Yep, although it obviously Costa a bit extra to get to Dublin in the first place, it’s easy enough to transfer and if (like me) it saves you 50% of the cost, it’s a no-brainer. Can even use some avios for the outward flight!
It’s probably the old yin Yang configuration Rish but I thought it was fine, I sat rear facing which was a bit weird at first but you don’t really notice once you’re in the air. Just make sure you’re at a window seat I would say - much more private 👍
Good Video! I could never sit facing backwards on a plane, I sometimes feel a bit sick on a plane because of the bumps and stuff and that’s facing forwards, I feel sick sitting backwards on a train aswell so as u could imagine I wouldn’t go down well for me sitting backwards on a plane ✈️ 👌👍😂🤢
@@LetsMakeaTrip Lol, btw I recommend riding the 700 Coastliner Bus Route From Portsmouth - Brighton buts it’s in 3 sections, it’s a Stagecoach South Bus Route like an ordinary bus Route but you here to Change at Chichester then Littlehampton (on the South Coast), it’s worth a try for a video in the summer or something
Another informative and entertaining video! I wonder, how did you find out that it was cheaper to fly via dublin. Is there a program or website that can find flights like that?
Hi John, it was my first time in long-haul business class so I don’t really have anything to compare it with personally. What would you recommend from those you have flown on?
I mean, it was no London to Glasgow on an overnight bus, but it was still pretty good!!! I'm hoping this video rocks for you like the bus one did so you can balance future content between luxury and torture!!!
Haha, yep what a contrast! Torture pays for luxury Matt 😉

Nice few tier points too 👍
@@LetsMakeaTrip yes indeed!
still bit confused buddy can you please tell me how it works and how much overall you saved instead of just booking through Ba??
@@SalehRealistI did book through BA but booked my BA ticket to originate and terminate from Dublin rather than Glasgow. Can’t remember how much I saved but it was more than the Ryanair flight Glasgow to Dublin and the hotel at Dublin airport cost. Works sometimes and sometimes not but worth a look.
@@derekbryce2632 OK thank you
Great vlog! :) Those mini privacy booths are my fave type of seating on business class. I hope i can fly one someday! :)

That was a great takeoff beautiful Rolls Royce Trent 1000 sound
Lovely isn’t it and I had a great view in the backward-facing seat 👍
Looked like a great flight mate. I like their portions for the "light meal". It's nice to jump in business once on awhile!
Oh yes, now I’ve tried it long haul, I’m not so keen on economy I must admit!!
My recent flight from LHR to MEX in business was excellent. The BA food seems to have improved a lot since I flew LHR to Capetown in mid 2022
Cheers Nicholas, I hope you’re right. I’m not due to fly with them in business long haul until September unfortunately but yep, maybe it’ll be even better by then.

I love those dirt-cheap European flights, never been to Slovakia so I may have to check it out one day. Cheers mate 😊👍

That Malaysian upgrade sounds amazing! Never been offered one myself 😐
@@LetsMakeaTrip in 45 years of flying these are the only times it ever happened but it could happen again you never know.
After a long flight an hour outdoors with fresh air will clean your lungs out and you'll feel better (pro tip) then go to hotel.

Cheers Andrew, thanks for your support 😊👍
Mark: What do I do in long-haul business class?
FA: Try everything, once...
Mark: Challenge accepted 🍺🥂🍷😵💫
Great video mate 😊
Cheers mate. They were nice those cocktails 👍
Excellent! Loved the advice to try everything once! Looking forward to more uploads from your Mexico trip.
Cheers mate, yep some interesting stuff coming up 👍
That was a long take off, I thought for a moment you were going to drive there.
Haha, cheers Wally. Yep, quite a full flight that one!
Excellent review, good to see some positivity! I've yet to fly BA in Club World (unless a 777 to Madrid counts!)
Thanks mate. Got a few more long haul trips planned in the next 6 months but not with BA. Virgin Upper Class and Qatar.
I like the idea for this channel because I can identify with the content. Nothing smashtacutlar, but mundane and interesting.

I don't like the idea of flying backwards - forward facing is a must for me.
You honestly don’t notice it once you’re up in the air 👍
Superb footage 🌹🌹🌹🌹🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🥇🍾🍾🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🥇🥇🥇🥇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

Hang on...you were doing easy jet and national express!!! now you're hobnobbing in business class. :D Nice review as always.
Cheers Mike 😊
great vid as always. cant wait for my ba 787 biz class from london to hyderabad. any tips and tricks for the flight?

Loved this! £1110, would be an all inclusive in Greece for a week? It’s your job though😀
Cheers Wend, I wish it was my job but I’m just enjoying the trips and filming them (and funding them too). Cheap at the time 😊👍
@@LetsMakeaTrip Well done for all the research you do, and working out all the air miles and adios (?) you earn! 👍👏

I've just booked Club World from Dublin to Cancun via LGW for £504 return in business class on an error fare
I’ve seen that on Flyer Talk today, fingers crossed BA honour it and don’t block cancel like last time!
Another informative and entertaining video! I wonder, how did you find out that it was cheaper to fly via dublin. Is there a program or website that can find flights like that?
I spend too much time for my own good looking on Google flights!
Glad you had a great trip! How much would it have cost if you had booked from the UK a standard J Class return?
Cheapest flights with BA were around £2.3k and I think that’s about the same now. Some good offers with TAP though atm.
Probably a very good review but started by highlighting a B777…not a B789
Paul, thanks for pointing this out. Will edit accordingly! Cheers 👍
Socks in a long haul plane toilet? No thanks.
I know. I did check before I stepped in but yep, just the flight socks fortunately.
Tip I always use is to take a pair of cheap hotel slippers with me to walk around the plane and loos. You can then just leave them there when you go.
That's a horrible business class product. I can't believe they still fly that.
Hi John, it was my first time in long-haul business class so I don’t really have anything to compare it with personally. What would you recommend from those you have flown on?
Where's the screaming kids in economy? Come on, it's not the same in business class.
I tell you what Phil, it’s true what they say, once you’ve tried it once you’ll never want to back to long-haul economy!
