BRUTALLY HONEST | Trans-Atlantic on Virgin Atlantic's brand-new A350-1000 in Economy Class!

[@diederikvanrappard7506]

Excellent review as always! I would say that for a 7 hour flight to the East Coast the service on Virgin in economy is better than on most European carriers with the exception perhaps of Swiss

[@elevat1on]

Turkish and Austrian are two other ones better than Virgin.

[@andrewstorm8240]

Swiss is average

[@karenwing9976]

yeah, LOT is alright and Airfrance is also brilliant, so is TAP

[@17addidas]

Swiss .Hummm ?.... Lots of Legacy Name Brand "Glamour". Great Hub Zurich ! Great Crews ! Great C Class ! Current Economy is little more than what a Low Cost carrier would offer in terms of Catering and Space. Nothing to write home about .

[@marcuskeulertz5852]

[@BTAviation]

The virgin atlantic livery suits the a350 very well

[@ptaylor5014]

I built a model of this at the beginning of the year and emailed Mr Richard Branson too see if he would buy it but was not interested lol, it has cabin lights / motorised engine fan blades and flashing navigation and beacon lights too.

Nice video. The only time I’ve ever used universal power in economy was when the USB port failed and had to chard my tablet. Kind ok hard to use a laptop in economy class though. I personally feel it’s completely unnecessary in economy given the limited space.

[@Qatari2007]

cndam same, who needs wifi, IFE and power outlets, main thing is the seats !

[@ronclark9724]

Why would anyone need to charge their laptop on a 6 hour flight? Surely your fully charge laptop will last that long. And won't USB charge your laptop?

[@turnip1stew]

@@ronclark9724 no, USB wont charge a laptop

[@eli_man3811]

I really think that one of the primary reason why Virgin Atlantic stands out above many other trans Atlantic carriers simply comes down to aesthetic. Many other carriers have similar offerings in economy class but with their young fleet of planes and their flashy style Virgin Atlantic makes the whole journey an experience in itself, almost as if you’re boarding a spaceship Virgin Galactic style.

[@CatherineRMich]

David and Paul in the same video. The legends have met!

[@themcairplane]

Do you use any contraption to stick the camera up next to the window so you don’t need to hold it for takeoff and landing? If so, what is it called?

[@vieuxcarre848]

I appreciate the Isley Brothers playing as the boarding music 👌🏾

[@falconlars6931]

There were like 50 passengers in the main eco cabin. How the crew can’t deliver an even better service with an empty cabin, I don’t understand. Good video man.

9:10 I also saw in a singapore airlines B777-300er economy class that there was no universal power outlet but that usb port was for charging

[@th3potatogang951]

Could you review Turkish Airlines a350 economy class when they arrive

[@davidlamb75]

David, a question...completely random: Is your PD Backpack a 20L or a 30L? It looks to be a 30L, but wanted to ask. Love the videos!

[@simply_aviation]

It's a 20L... :)

[@davidlamb75]

Mine is a 30L...

[@Qatari2007]

Nice review, your lucky to have a good flight, I flew in the SQ A350 and the seats where tiny !

[@redcomusic]

I'd love to fly this, if anything to earn some Velocity points which are fairly easy to redeem here in the US for Delta flights. - Red

[@scottprice4813]

David are they expecting the leisure travel contingent to carry them? Not offering power ports ? That’s got to be a no go for an economy business customer .

[@jillysmith1186]

Also the webcam on the tail or front of the plane is great for watching take off and landing

[@imbleu1067]

Do one on SAA longhaul (London-JNB/NewYork-JNB on SAA's new A350/Hong Kong-JNB) Very rarely covered airline and with the financial issues theyre having they may disappear like Airberlin soon.

[@franklinloo2160]

I love the small Hot Snack before landing. Virgin Atlantic really treat economy class passenger nicely. Great flight. Can wait to see your upcoming video. Already subscribe your travel Vlog.

[@randorific333]

I'll be flying the A350 on Sunday, booked in Upper Class from LHR-LAX. Due to the pandemic, I assumed there would be a reduction in meal and drink service, so I wrote Virgin. From the UK I'll receive a hot meal and an afternoon tea. No alcohol service, but beer and wine will be offered with meals. I've always flown Upper Class on Virgin's B789 so this is going to be a very different experience, but it sounds like it'll be better than BA's current business class service which consists of a cold sandwich in a box! It is odd about the lack of power outlets. It won't affect me but it will certainly upset others.

[@TAILSORANGEs]

Also David, Scoot recently rebranded their premium cabin to "Scoot plus". Do you think that's a smart choice or do you think that is not good enough?

[@AlexVictorianus]

7:53 a lounge! Very nice!

[@scarlettzhu2702]

Love the 350

[@travelwithaimes]

I was under the impression that if you ask, the cabin crew can provide you with an amenity kit, even in economy.

[@eashwarg.k4938]

Good David! Virgin Atlantic is a nice airlines Equal to BRITISH AIRWAYS!!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

Good review it looks like a nice cabin I am too surprised about the lack of power point. They really need to upgrade T3 at LHR it looks so dated.

[@ticolandia100]

Love it 😍 nice video almost empty seats 💺 on the back greetings from California USA 🇺🇸 I am from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@craigwillis3372]

I wonder David if they have a Universal Power socket in Upper Class ? ( Business?) Also you may not have noticed but in their "new" livery on this aircraft Virgin had replaced the Union Jack flag on the wing lets with the Virgin logo !! You were spot on about the lack of passengers on this flight !! I presume the in flight entertainment was ok ? Well done and I always enjoy your brutally honest reviews !! Thanks mate!

[@amaan-aliladak]

Apparently it's available in Business class. That's according to Paul of course who sat in 11 A

[@DarkMerchant2222]

I was on the a350-900 with Qatar and it was great but was only 3 hours compared to the 16 hour flight on the 777-200lr for the connecting flight. It was a huge difference the a350 is so much better in legroom and upper bin storage

[@phillipmaguire4671]

Another great video David... I would like to see a review on any chosen premium airline, the difference between their standard economy versus their premium economy, or premium economy versus business. The same flight number, same route, and so on, so that an accurate comparison can be made/ And let us see if the cabin class comparison is worth the extra in price paid for the ticket.

[@bartoni572]

The main disappointing thing I found in economy on the virgin a350 was when someone puts there seat in recline it gives you very little room and encroaches majorly on space. Also virgin economy food isn't the best. Also this flight review was very empty flight. Try it when its rammed full. Very different experience. No hot towels, less drinks offered and alot harder to move out of the window seat when full. Virgin are a good airline overall just some small touches need to be made.

[@militaryav8r]

0:38 Why is everything reversed?? 22 is backwards, but as you go one to speak it switches back to what it should be.

[@jeffto23ify]

[@fastasfox]

I like that expectation thing you do...good info Sir.

[@TheArthurvs]

I was just checking seat guru and aside from the B787-9, their entire fleet aren't equipped with power outlets in economy class which is a shame, in my opinion.

Is that the Gotham hotel ? The room looks like the one we stayed in a couple of months ago.

Nope, that's a Microtel by Wyndham...

I thought the economy class seats were different from B787’s ones and looked more comfortable than B787.But concerning the appearance,I like B787’s design better than A350’s design.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Both aircraft seats are from the same manufacturer, (Recaro seats with Panasonic IFE screens) but yes, they are different models. I think the A350 also features bigger screens.

[@charalambos5766]

[@moulonz]

So in all the reviews I’ve watched every one says “great leg room” but that doesn’t help at all if your 5ft 2 and someone else is 7ft lol. Maybe if You said your height I could judge if the leg room is good or not for myself. Thanks.

And some idea of seat width would be helpful too, for those of us with big bums!

Um David Your flight was delayed because the other day it got into turbelnece and passengers were rebooked to earlier flights, and in the tripreport you told me you didn't rebook. I hope Paul didn't rebook
