Editorial Summary

The creator reviews a British Airways Premium Economy flight from Gatwick to Orlando on a Boeing 777. The journey begins with a visit to the Gatwick South Terminal lounge, which the creator notes is quieter than other lounges but lacks premium amenities. After experiencing a departure delay, the creator boards the aircraft and evaluates the 2-4-2 seating configuration. The review covers the seat features, including the leg rest, storage options, and the amenity kit containing essentials like socks and a lip balm. Onboard service includes the return of pre-departure fizz and a selection of meals, such as chicken pilau rice and spinach and ricotta ravioli. While the creator found the onboard Wi-Fi to be very slow, they praised the cabin crew for being friendly and helpful. The flight also features dedicated premium economy restrooms. The creator concludes that the experience was enjoyable and that the upgrade from economy is worth it if available at a decent rate.
