[Trip Report] Virgin Atlantic Upper Class | Airbus A350 | LHR-JFK

Taking another flight on Virgin Atlantic's Airbus A350 over the Christmas period. The Clubhouse was as good as ever, however the flight itself was only alright. It wasn't bad by any stretch, but I came away thinking I've had better. I guess everyone has their off days.

Thanks for your video, James. I agree, the flight, service & food seemed definitely lacklustre. What a shame. I also prefer the Neo. 😊. Plus, the guy standing up on take-off.... WT....!!! 😲 Hope you managed to get some comfortable 💤 too.

LOL at the please sit down as the aircraft is on the runway!

[@floridabrit]

Far too long in lounge and take off. Why not out on terrace?

[@bucupie]

Thanks for this! Very nice coverage of the lounge.. We’ll be flying the a350 in upper class lhr-lax soon. And beautiful wing view ✈️

[@thomasioannou76]

Have they taken the pool table out of the lounge??

[@InflightWithJames]

Yeah, looks to have been replaced with more seating. Guess it wasn’t that popular!

[@thomasioannou76]

@@InflightWithJames ah shame, always kept me and brother entertained in the lounge. Thanks for the reply

[@TonyEbikemeJr]

Oh man, that annoys me. Who in the right mind stands up just before take-off? I don't get some people.

[@InflightWithJames]

What got me was they paid for an upper class seat, then spent very little time actually sat in it. Stood up during boarding until they were told to sit down, then were stood up for most of the flight too 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@maudewinkler-reid1969]

Please sir sit down 😂

[@robyoungquist5803]

IDK James, it just seemed that the inflight offerings were just so so/passable. Nothing really outstanding 🫤

[@InflightWithJames]

The whole flight was like this. Not one of my best.
