British Airways retires Boeing 737 fleet
Passengers on Wednesday boarded a British Airways’ Boeing 737 for the last time ever with a final return trip to and from Gatwick Airport. As British Airways modernizes its fleet of aircraft, the Boeing 737 planes are being retired after 35 years of service. (guyanaaviation.com) Más...I just wish BA would retire its 747 fleet. I generally like to fly BA, but where possible I now deliberately choose routing and/or timing to avoid flying on their 747s as they have some of the most uncomfortable seats of any airline. I understand they are planning to roll out new seating in 2016 onward, but it is about 3 years too late.
I have to say I love the 747 and often choose a routing that operates them.
I wish that BA had committed to the 747-8 but obviously not to be.
The refurbishment programme for the 747,s they are keeping hold of is under way.
On a personal note it will be a sad day for me when they do finally disappear from the BA network.

The 747-8 would have fitted perfectly in BA's fleet as a replacement for 747-400's. Not too late!
I will live in hope!!
For any long haul pax BA also has the oldest 747 fleet in the world!
