Tonight’s British Airways flight across the pond from JFK to LHR is on G-VIIN, a 26-yr-old Boeing 777-236(ER) operating as BA172. I managed to bag 5K, one of the quieter seats in Club World on this aircraft, which is currently bringing me great joy! Let’s fly! ✈️

Like all things in England at this time of year, my aircraft is mouldy!
This is G-VIIN, one of the oldest in service with BA, last of a set of Boeing 777-236ERs delivered between '96-'98
