PLEASE READ: Like everyone else, we are very concered about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-May. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future! We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strength in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe! Greetings from Vienna, David and Felix

I will pause the video if there a menu cards because everytime I watch your Tripreports, I always fell like I'm flying with you. 3. If there's an award for the World's Best Tripreports Channel,you deserve it because the engine sounds are our music and the cabin noises are our entertainment for every video. Keep it up and continue to publish Tripreports @SimplyAviation, you're the best channel for any avgeek on this planet. P/S : The laugh between 2:20 to 2:30 is the worst laugh i've ever heard 🤣🤣

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I flew from JFK to London (LHR) with Virgin Atlantic 787 Dreamliner. The flight was 7 hours so not sure how 333 made it for 6? But we had below average experience on that flight. Check in was a shocker, the person at the desk did not know what she was doing. Boarding was good and seats were OK (I am 185cm tall or just under 6'1). No water offered until the food was served, actually no service was present at all until then... Food was crap in quantity and quality. They mention something over the com system about some food restrictions but I didn't hear it all because of a very low sound volume from the cabin speakers. Before landing there was just a some sort of fruit yogurt. IFE was good if you cannot sleep and just want to watch movies or play games. Flight was late 20 minutes on departure but arrived on time. On its own the flight was OK but only if you have a really low expectation or if compared to others it was below average. If I have to I will fly with Virgin again but if I have a choice I would go for Delta or United.
