What is a short flight on a British Airways Embraer 190 from Southampton to Dublin like?

I always enjoy a short flight with British Airways in Club Europe, as you’re always doing something. By that I mean that eating and drinking take up the time so you’re never bored.

After an overnight stay at the Moxy Southampton, I headed to the airport and had a nice breakfast in the lovely Spitfire Lounge. Eventually, it was time to board my flight and we got on the bus which took us to our plane.

BA2938 – Southampton to Dublin (SOU-DUB)
2 October 2022
Embraer 190 – G-LCYN
Seat: Club Europe 2D
Departure: 10:40 Arrival: 12:00

I was in the same seat on the same aircraft as my flight the previous day. Those wanting to see the cabin plus all the leg room available in 2C and 2D should check out that review.

Brunch On A Short Flight

Once again it was a very light load and after the usual safety demonstration we took to the sky. The extremely efficient BA CityFlyer crew had the brunch meals delivered almost immediately after we were in the air.

I’ve had this meal before and I really like it. The smoked fish is tasty, as is all the rest of it. Plus, there is a lemon cake for dessert and I’m always a fan of all things lemon.

Flying Along To Dublin

Once I had scoffed all the food, I sat back and enjoyed the rest of the flight. I usually sit on the A side of the plane, but this time I was opposite, so the views were different to what I am used to seeing.

That was all rather pleasant and as you can see we landed in Dublin safe and sound. After chatting to the crew it was down the stairs and through Passport control and onto the bus home.

Overall Thoughts

Even a short flight can be a fun flight when there is a pleasant meal, nice drinks, good service and views. I really enjoy flying back and forth on British Airways between Ireland and the UK, as regular readers are well aware.

Do you prefer a quick flight or would you rather more time in the air? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

Nice meal for such a short flight. On US carriers, you wouldn’t get anything except a snack basket to pick something from. It’s really sad. That is why I try to fly international carriers anytime that I fly out of the US. Even in coach, I was on a CPT-JNB flight and we got a chocolate croissant, and that was on Lift an African LCC. On a Delta flight that short in the US, you would get a Bisoff cookie or a tiny bag of almonds. It is really sad over here.
