NOTES
Back on British Airways for another trip across the pond! This trip were flying from San Francisco to London aboard the iconic Airbus A380. I was absolutely thrilled to be back on the jumbo jet and it was a really good flight. Sitting on the upper deck even in Economy can be fairly comfortable compared to other planes or even the lower deck. Legroom space seems to be better on this plane which is a plus for tall people like me. The crew and food were also decent. Nothing special obviously about the food as it was similar to what I reviewed last year on my other BA flights. If you have the opportunity to fly on the A380. Please do it. It’s an great experience no matter the airline and a must for aviation enthusiasts!
