British Airways operated a Boeing 777-200ER on the route from Atlanta to London Heathrow, with the flight number BA226, as of April 2026. The aircraft, registered as G-VIIA, was configured in a four-class layout, including World Traveller (Economy) with Recaro CL3710 seats in a 10-abreast configuration. The in-flight entertainment system was the Thales IFE, which experienced performance issues, and the inflight connectivity used Intelsat (ex Gogo 2Ku), with free messaging available for British Airways Club members. The flight included a meal service with options such as Chicken Jambalaya or pasta, and a pre-arrival brown-bag service with a ham and cheese croissant. The aircraft was also equipped with USB-A power ports, though charging was slow. The flight operated with a typical transatlantic duration of around seven hours, and the aircraft was based at London Heathrow Terminal 3. The same aircraft type, the 777-200ER, was also used on other British Airways routes, including the London Gatwick to Tampa service, which transitioned to Heathrow and a 787-10 from October 2026. The aircraft was delivered in 1998 and remained in service as of early 2026. Economy Class & Beyond +2
