Eleanor Harris: British Airways i360

A sensational week as the BA i360 hosts 30,000 people’s first flight

What an incredible first week! British Airways i360 opened to the public on the afternoon of 4th August and we have already welcomed around 30,000 people on board.

There is an air of celebration in the pod with bottles of Nyetimber sparkling wine popping and regular rounds of happy birthday being sung. We have already had at least three engagements (and hope we will welcome the happy couple back for their wedding!). It seems that we have become the venue of choice to celebrate!

During Pride I was lucky enough to take a flight during the Parade. What a great vantage point for a bird’s eye view! We turned the tower rainbow coloured, which was stunning and rainbow flags flew on our toll booths. There was an absolutely brilliant atmosphere on site.

I have personally been working in the operation, welcoming guests at the gate and making sure everything is running smoothly. Guests regularly recognise me and stop to say hello which has been lovely.
