On the CityFlyer Embraers just hope you don’t get G-LCYV/W/X/Y as these have a more basic PBS which holds a shorter music loop than the rest of the fleet, and restarts from the beginning every time the PA is used!
I flew Vueling a few years ago and was amused by the inappropriateness of No Surprises by Radiohead as one of the songs. “I’ll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide”

Sitting on todays BA31 to HKG on a A388 I find the music quite stressful. Far too energetic to relax you as you board. I can’t believe anybody at BA has thought about how stressful flying can be, and i speak as a regular traveller who generally enjoy the experience.

I like the classical music - it feels very BA. BA is a quintessential British brand and in my view doesn’t need to try to be all modern and on point. If you want pop bugger off to Jet2!

I can’t remember exactly what DL were playing on my last flights but it was giving a fairly chilled West coast vibe (we were in LAX). I recall that I really liked it. Same with VS on the way home.

Stressful, it’s funeral music but I have to say do like it, I do wish we had other music to play for disembarkation?

Yeah, but Britain isn't famous for its classical music (das land ohne musik!), but is famous around the world for its pop output.

We had a trial of some up tempo disembarkation music on the 767 luxury liner a couple of years ago to try and speed up people getting off. It had absolutely no effect whatsoever, and we quickly reverted back to the Eurofleet norm of no music whatsoever!
