This video reviews British Airways' flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Manchester (MAN) in July 2017.
Video includes footage from the North Galleries Club lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5, take-offs, on-board service and landing of the outbound and in-flight footage. A short but very convenient domestic flight (train fares are often more expensive and flying is much faster and relaxing than driving on a Friday evening).
BA is the only airline on this route. Passengers from Manchester can enjoy a faster access to BA's vast European and international network (KLM and Emirates attract many customers from the midlands to their route network).
The outbound flight BA 1402 was operated by an Airbus 320 registration G-EUUW. This aircraft first flew in 2008.
BA recently introduced a club/business cabin for domestic flights. I was tempted but will try it for a longer flight (LHR-MAN is only 30 mins long).
At 1:44, you will also see the new biometric boarding gates. In March 2017, I understand that BA was the first airline in the world to use such biometric self-boarding gates (based on facial recognition). Passengers' biometric data is captured when passing through security (at 0:31) and matched against the data scanned at the gate. When this video was shot, the boarding gates are used for domestic departures. More units to be installed in the coming months.
Good experience overall. Whenever possible I prefer to travel without a checked bag, the queues at the self bag drop should be a concern for BA and passengers should be given a choice between self bag drop and a staffed counter.
