British Airways flight 2263 - Scenic approach and landing into Kingston Jamaica

Hi Youtube! It has been a long time since my last video.

This video is from my last Jamaica trip. It shows the approach and landing of the British Airways 2263 service to Normal Manley International Airport in the beautiful island of Jamaica. This flight was flown by aircraft G-YMME which is a Roll Royce Trent 895 powered Boeing 777-236. This was the first time that I'd flown on this particular aircraft.

I was pleased to have a clear window with no scratches and reasonable weather during the approach, though slightly overcast over Kingston towards the very end.

This video differs slightly from my last in that this time the aircraft took a much wider line than usual, affording those seated on the right hand side spectacular views of the south-east coastline.

Flight time was just under 10 hours with the usual turbulence around Bermuda :) Highlights in this video include a flypast of the Turks & Caicos islands and an overfly of Haiti towards the latter stages.

Sadly the Captain's flight update is somewhat muffled though you can make out a few phrases if you listen intently. You are hearing it exactly as it sounded - this has been an issue on my last few flights.

This video was captured by a Sony NEX-5T camera fitted with an external microphone. The colour reproduction of this camera is simply superb when compared to my previous Panasonic camcorders.
