BA's Worst Flight - Club Europe from London to Amman - Flight Review

30” seat pitch in business is brutal. Thanks for doing the flight.

‘Things I do for you dear viewer’😊. Your continual sacrifice is appreciated! Hope you’re keeping well Matt.

It’s a shame the ex BMI mid haul config was scrapped, perfect for the customer on this route.

I’ve never liked BA personally, so found this video a good laugh, thanks

Love your dry British humour - had a big laugh when you mentioned “asked for a smaller menu” … brilliant 😂😂😂

Your menu comment really did make me lol. On the subject of menus, this is another BA service inconsistence: I flew back from Tenerife this week and apparently there were no menus to be handed out. Had them before on this flight but apparently not available this time. Given the crews somewhat "laid back" service suspect they might have been hiding in a locked someone onboard.

My 6ft 2", 22 stone husband and I did this route in BA Business a couple of years ago. He had no problems with the seat and we had a lovely flight. One passenger behind us did kick off about the standard of the Business "cabin", but to be honest, we had no complaints. We got what we expected and we expected a short haul flight. The most important thing to note is that if this flight had been in a long haul plane, we would not have been able to afford Business seats. They were much cheaper than our seats to other Middle Eastern countries. And Jordan was an amazing country. We did North to South and everywhere inbetween and it was incredible. Highly recommended (although Petra and Wadi Rum were tourist ridden hells!)

We flew on two occasions to Crete with BA in the same seats same leg room as economy. We got a drink before the meal, a drink with the meal and that was that, the staff disappeared behind a curtain not seen again till half an hour before landing. We now are back with Jet 2 were we can relax with a few drinks on the flight.

Always enjoy your videos Matt 👍🏻

Thanks for the info + video!

I regularly fly BA to various destinations around Europe, many about 2 to 3 hours from Heathrow. What you had is precisely what I get on those flights, aside from the pillow and the throw. I have flown about the same distance (about 5 hours as I recall) in an A320, with Lufthansa from Azerbaijan to Germany. The pilots had turned down the heating so much that the cabin was ice cold, and no throws were offered, even thought I was in business class. As it was warm and in the summer, I didn't have anything to cover myself with. That was possibly the worst flight I've been on.

We do appreciate what you do for us hope you're well and have you been solving the problem you encountered

Interesting video Matt, good to see it was a pleasant surprise in some aspects. Maybe I'll bump into you again one day! Anything is possible.

Same thing on Lufthansa (who didn't even have a cabin divider on our flight out to Amman last year). Even the crew were embarrassed!

Nice vid, I'm only 5ft 9 and I think I would struggle in that seat, like the humour...hope you are keeping well. Best wishes.

Love the dry sense of humour, "I asked for a smaller menu but this was the smallest menu available" 😂😂😂

Fun video! I'd definitely been curious about this flight since I saw that it was an 80 TP narrow-body route. You made an interesting point about carriers not really having a plane equipped for medium-haul routes. I feel like American's A321Ts are the closest offered by a US/European carrier

“I asked for a smaller menu but they didn’t have one” 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve had the same experience flying BA Club Europe to Athens, Malta and Cairo. For me, around 3 hours is the maximum I can endure on those aircraft before it gets annoying, but like many I’m always pushing the tier points to keep my BA gold status! 😂

Really good timing with this video as I am planning on doing a reward flight to Cairo in business. I would still probably take it but ensure I had a neck pillow or something like that to aid with sleep. I am surprised they didn't offer a snack of some description later on in the flight, however I am guessing this is due to it being a night flight.
