SNAPSHOT: British Airways 762 London Heathrow to Oslo (A321neo – EuroTraveller)

02/08/2019 by Kevincm

Time for another snapshot, this time focusing on the passenger experience on British Airways 762 between London Heathrow to Oslo.

For those of you who are new to the blog:

  • Trip Reports – These are full deep-dive reports taking you into the experience and the small things… as well as the big things!
  • Snapshots – These are bite-sized reviews that show you the basic product in some nice gentle headlines (and normally, only images shot on the phone)

Check in

Check in was conducted electronically the day before, with a supposed exit row seat of 9F selected. Bags were dropped at the check in counters.

Security

Security was busy through the premium zone, taking around 15 minutes to clear. It didn’t help that people didn’t know how the system worked to load trays and send them through (rather than line up and push).

Lounge

With an expected gate of A10 allocated, it was easier to switch to Galleries North than use South.

    This makes me want to take a BA flight just for the commemorative beer!

    But seriously, BA, a brand-new plane with no connectivity? Seriously?
