I will be traveling in a couple of months with British Airways on Both their 747-400 (BA0092), and Boeing 777-200 (BA0097). Which one of these do people prefer? I want to know which flight to look forward to the most. Thanks a bunch,

Heath

I've been on their 747's. I don't know if they modified them, but they did NOT have private tv's. (They may have upgraded since then.) However, I can almost garuntee you that the 777 with be installed with state-of-the-art entertainment.

Should make for a nice flight either way though. Where you flying to???

Toronto - Heathrow Gatwick - Thesoloniki Thesoloniki - Gatwick Heathrow - Toronto. All on BA! My luck! I've flown their 747-400's, and they do have PTV's. 772 is newer though, right?

ALL BA B772's and B744's are equiped with PVT's...

Have a nice flight! May we expect a trip report?

THey all have PTV's and the service in the air will be ok. Don't expect much help from their groundstaff if anything goes wrong though - they were all a coimplete waste of space last time i flew them. SO much so - that was the last time I flew them....even if they had the cheapest ticket I don;t go them anymore. Pity 'cos in the air they are ok but Heathrow is a disaster of a place and groundstaff were so rude and onboxious last time I swore never again and have stuck to that.....besides their FF programme is the worst! Most people in the company I work for have done the same. We have little enough choice flyign from ABZ - BA make it easy to eliminate them from the decision making process early on.
