Factual error: In two shots during the Heathrow sequence, a CGI airplane is seen taking off in the background. The airplane is depicted as a British Airways 747-8 Intercontinental. However, BA has never flown this type. They fly the older 747-400, which is distinguishable from the 747-8 by its vertical winglets. The newer type features blended wingtips.

Suggested correction: British Airways did fly 747-8s under the Global Supply Systems brand. These planes still had BA livery, so would look the same.
British Airways flew 747-8F's (the freighter version) circa 2013, distinguished by the shorter fuselage upper deck hump. The airplane depicted in the film has the longer upper deck, common to the 747-8 Intercontinental (passenger version).
