Paul - as for your question at 15:07 - my dad works with the customer experience department at Virgin Atlantic as a consultant, and it transpires that they test run menus on the Manchester/Gatwick to America flights before they send them to Heathrow to iron out any issues - these are leisure routes so if they mess up an item they can fix it before rotating the menu onto Heathrow - they want the best food possible for their high paying business customers and would rather have a menu-related issue on a leisure route where people are less likely to complain. Futhermore, the menus change once every 2 months, with LHR getting the MAN/LGW menu once customer feedback is ascertained from Manchester and Gatwick.
@alexconway7882
@alexconway7882 4 жыл бұрын
For what it's worth, American do the opposite - they test run menus on the flights to Heathrow, and then rotate them to other destinations - generally the rest of the UK and Ireland that they fly to which is not LHR (i.e. MAN/EDI/GLA/SNN/DUB) - and then onto the rest of Europe. I don't know why they do this, however.

@@SkinheadBrian That's just the airlines policy though - don't shoot the messenger! Though saying that, those in First Class are paying substantially more than those in Economy, so surely the food (and the choice of what they want to eat) and service should be better, no? You fly Economy if your aim is to just cross the Atlantic, you fly First Class if your aim is to just cross the Atlantic and you want to be comfortable while you're doing it.

I haven't flown on this seat before, but I feel the privacy screen is meant to more provide privacy from people sitting behind you. As you had no one behind you, it didn't provide you with much extra privacy. But if you were sitting further forward, it could easily prevent people from seeing your IFE / laptop on your table if they were sat in seats behind you across the isle.

Another fun video Paul. When it was in business, Virgin America had the service where you could order from your seat. My colleagues and I liked this as we could get work finished first, then have a beverage and or a snack. One thought, have you stayed at the hotel in JFK that used to be the TWA terminal? I am old enough to remember flying from SFO to JFK on either Pan Am or TWA.

I flew this exact aircraft in August, LHR-LAX. I was in seat 1A. As you can imagine, a pretty empty flight due to COVID. I absolutely LOVE Virgin Atlantic but I wasn't too impressed with the new Upper Class Suite. I know many pax complain about Virgin's Upper Class seats facing away from the window on other aircraft, but I actually prefer it. The seats in Upper & Premium are 2" wider on their other aircraft. I watched your video on BA's business class on their A350 & although I prefer VS, I may check out BA. OH! I've taken 7 flights on Virgin and the menu has been different each time. However, the IFE options have been the same at times.

Hey Paul, another great video where the production values and analysis keep getting better. I've gotta say though that it would be great to see more continuity with your flying and even the in between cheaper flights you do. Your round the world flights you did a year or so back is so interesting because it felt like we knew how you got from A to B to Z. The current crop of reviews are starting to just be a bit same-same, and there's a bit too much business class. Loyal viewer, hope you take my feedback :)

Perhaps they got rid of the union jack winglets because (quite reasonably) they dont expect the union to last very long? I'm not at all surprised at Flybe being rebranded 'Virgin connect'! Virgin have been dying to build a European domestic network to rival BA, Easyjet and Ryanair . . . Virgin Red failed . . . But then here comes Flybe, with a ready built domestic European network and fleet - and oh dear they are having some financial trouble and need a buyer . . . Oh well guys, since you insist :P Wonder how long before we see Q400s and E-Jets in that bright, bold Virgin branding!? Great video as usual! I really like the step by step commentary - you manage to walk that tightrope between detailed information and general entertainment very, very well!

Sweet mother.... some of the things you complain about. I am glad there are announcements for flights. I wish more lounges would do this. It is bloody annoying have to park in front of a pax information display or having to get up multiple times to check on one's flight. I recently flew on Qatar from Madrid to Doha; there was no announcement in the lounge and the flight information display never updated. If I hadn't just decided to go to the gate, I would have missed my flight. This Virgin lounge is one of the best in the world. I dare say it is in the top 3. I do enjoy the terrace on a warm summer's day. How could one not? This is quite unique for a lounge or any aircraft spotting as a matter of fact.

When mentioning seat types, you say "A three-forty and seven-eight-seven". Why do many folks in av world do this? I grew up with the seven forty seven, seven fifty seven etc. So many around the world say seven-eight-seven, seven-six-seven etc., If one says seven-eight-seven, common sense would mean they should say A three- two-one as opposed to A three twenty one. Seems to me if it is an A three fifty, should also be a seven fifty seven.... Anyway, nice vid and like seeing the club experience in LON.

Its very simple because a 787 is the numbers seven eight seven. So said like that correctly. An A350 for example has the number 50 in it so said as A three fifty! A 757 as in your example nowhere contains the number 50 so why would you say fifty it doesnt exist!

Though I have only flown Virgin economy class on 747s, mostly to Las Vegas each experience was horrendous. Would never fly with them again! At the time, the only other alternative direct flight was with BA, not much of a better option. Indirectly I have flown with Delta and American Airlines who are also rather poor. Now I choose not to fly transatlantic and prefer to visit the Far East where airline choices are far superior.

That’s how it’s flown from vessels. Imagine the flagpole is on the right.

Re: afternoon tea: I flew From London Gatwick to Calgary on Westjet’s Dreamliner on October 15th. I was in Premium Economy. We had afternoon tea also, complete with scones and clotted cream, and cucumber sandwiches.

Fact: BA were SO worried the Virgin might be able to restore a mothballed Concorde that they deliberately destroyed anything that was proprietary such as the electrical equipment and parts that could make other parts move. This would make it too expensive to fabricate new ones. I simply don't get why someone else doesn't make a subsonic airliner instead of trying to get a mach 1 design. It wouldn't make a lot of difference if the plane can only fly mach 0.9 and not 1.0. Probably would save fuel too.

Great video, thank you. I was glad to see that there is alcohol free (non alcoholic) beer served on board, and Beck's as well! I hope more airlines will start to offer alcohol free beers and wines.

I must say, those seats look so poorly put together. Everything there looks flimsy, plasticy, and probably won't last more than a couple of years of use. For such a beautiful airplane, it's a shame.
