One thing I forgot to mention make sure you have your own headphones, preferably one with a 3.5. mm jack, the headphones provided are crappy. I didn't even use mine.

Nice review. I noticed in the first part in Barbados at about 3:15, they sprayed down the aircraft because of mosquitoes. Do you know how expensive this was? I wanted to travel with my family but the fares are always high. I suppose BA is the way to go for now.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I figured it was for mosquitoes, but i haven't seen it on other flights. Did they do it on yours too? Yeah i wanted to go back this year but couldn't handle that airfare. Virgin is often cheaper than BA if you book early on. BA prices fall closer to the travel date. Since Covid was still a concern I preferred Virgin's A330 layout with 2 seats instead of 3 by the window. Additionally, Virgin has the extra legroom option in Economy Delight, which i paid for.

Of all the times I've travelled back to the UK, I never took notice of the aircraft's circling over London prior to landing due to queing. My mind will be miles away🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for noting this. I will be mindful next time.

Thanks so much for watching. This was my third time to London and the third time i remembered it. I'm not sure if it is because of the time of day flights from the Caribbean arrive.

@@journeyswithj246 nice that you remembered on your third visit. I have learnt something new through it and I will be sure to observe attentively next time. I have always landed in the morning on my flights back to England but I will be planning my journey home from Heathrow to notice the landing 🤣

We just flew from Manchester to Atlanta Upper Class return. Cost a fortune and was a total rip-off. I have used VA many times , Usually to LA on beautiful big American planes , (About £ 4000 return) , Cuba £"2200 return) . This New Airbus 330 is Tiny, Cramped , Uncomfortable with seats in a herring bone patters so you have your neighbours feet in your face. Check your flight (I did not) and if it starts with Airbus, Bail Out.

Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! Yeah their Upper Class on those older A330s is a failure of design. They aren't the only ones using it unfortunately. I chose Virgin because during the summer they fly the A330 and i like the 2 seat layout in economy near the windows vs the 3 on their competition. I like planes so the aircraft and seat layout is a big factor for me. Virgin is introducing the new Airbus 330 neo with improved seating layout so hopefully their Upper Class seats are better. I have yet to fly on their Dreamliner hopefully in December 2023. Happy flying.
