INTRODUCTION

Hey y'all, welcome back to Winged Reviews! Today we're taking a fun flight from Vienna International Airport to London Heathrow with British Airways on an A320. Our flight today departs at noon, so we got to the airport around 9 a.m and it was absolutely packed. There were so many people and it was a little hard to navigate to the security area.

CHECK-IN

We passed by the check-in desk and it was absolutely packed, so good thing I did not have to wait in it. So was security, but they were pretty efficient and we were able to get through in around 15 minutes.

LOUNGE

After that, we went to the Vienna lounge.
This lounge is rated the best in Europe and it was definitely showing. It had a very modern and sleek design with lots of open space and seating areas, also there is this massive wall of windows that overlook the ramp which is amazing for any plane spotter. There were lots of amenities like a locker room that you could store your belongings in, also they had shower rooms and private beds, too, if you needed some sleep.

There was a wall with a lot of different magazines free to use.

There was also a full bar with a whole bunch of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. 
If I visit this airport again, I will definitely be back to this lounge. It was amazing.

There was also a wide variety of food options from a lot of different countries. It was more than just finger food, they had full meal options in the buffet and it was really good.

Most of the area was dedicated to seating space which was really nice. The far side was all windows so their was so much natural light, it really made a relaxing atmosphere.

This lounge was a great opportunity for some plane spotting.

BOARDING AND TAKE-OFF

This seat is pretty standard for an economy class. It has a literature pocket on the top, a single fold trade table that comes down and slides in and out. It also has a single pocket on the bottom and then this sea also has a USB port, which is really nice. 
And then the headrest only folds in, it doesn't adjust up and down, but other than that, the seat is pretty comfortable and is definitely good for a two hour flight. This seat also has your own reading light and air event.



These are the business class seats, they are just the regular economy class seats just with the middle seat blocked off and a head rest cover.

The seat back pocket comes with a safety card and a magazine.

The leg room was not bad for this short flight.

It had one USB outlet for each seat.

INFLIGHT

Shortly after take off, the flight attendants came round and offered me a water bottle and a choice between a sweet or savory snack, which was either peanuts or a chocolate cookie, and of course I took the chocolate chip cookies, because how could you resist? They were mini size and a handful came in the bag, and they were actually really good.

Now, let's check out the on board lavatories. This is the rear lavatory and the first thing I notice is that the sink is leaking. The bathroom is also not very spacious, but it is pretty clean, so that's a bonus.

The trash can was a little full.

British Airways does not offer entertainment on these short flights. They have an In flight magazine and a site where you can purchase Wi-Fi and other things, but no actual entertainment. The price is 5 euros to stream videos and search the web, and then it is only 3 euros to text and message people. So I guess it's not too bad for this to be our flight.

There was lots of great views as we came into LHR!

What a great flight!



People are always saying horrible things about London Heathrow, it is only a stopover for us as we are traveling to our final destination of DFW, and if you want to see an American Airlines 777–300ER flight review and the chaos we had to go through to get to our flight through London Heathrow, feel free to check out that flight review it’s already posted in the route section above. Thank you guys so much for reading this British Airways A320 flight review and feel free check out the rest of my reviews. I would really appreciate it. Have a great day!
