FLYING AFTER LOCKDOWN ✈ TRIP REPORT: British Airways Boeing 787 London to Zurich

British Airways are currently operating Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft on services to Amsterdam and Zurich, to provide greater cargo capacity during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this trip report I travel from London Heathrow to Zurich, on board a British Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner! See what it's like to fly now that lockdown in Europe has started to ease, including public health changes both at the Airport and on board.

This flight was booked as a round trip (returning immediately on the same aircraft) for a total cost of £86, travelling in Euro Traveller (economy). This is my first attempt at a trip report, so my apologies if it isn't quite the best as I still feel uncomfortable filming in public!
