Really enjoying these videos on your channel! I was searching for videos showing BA economy to see what it’s like long haul and came across the Christmas flight you did to Singapore a year ago. Couldn’t help but have a further look on your channel as I really like how you documented the experience. Great work! 😄

Great video. I’m sitting in seat 25K when I fly to Vegas in a couple of weeks so this was really good to see what it’s like to sit in that seat. 👍👍👍

WOW it has changed since last time on Virgin from Shanghai was they had own lounge on the lower ground - it was when they flew A340 and then they gave not only Upper Class amenity classes and Premium Economy and Economy with the cute rubber duck. Also they gave champagne as a pre-take off drink. OK this was 14 years ago and then they had hair dressers in the lounge in Heathrow. Great lovely lounge wear still use today

Wow that sounds like a whole different airline! Back to the days of the A340 are a distant dream now… I quite like the idea of a rubber duck (Lufthansa first ?) and a pre departure champers would really elevate the whole thing ! Thanks for watching :)

Another superb and very comprehensive trip review. I particularly like your on screen graphics which really help to highlight the differences between premium economy and economy. The flight was all going well until the second meal service! Such a shame as in terms of quantity and presentation it was so poor compared to the first service. I wonder if this is the norm or was the incorrect catering loaded at Shanghai and the crew tried to cover it up? Finally, i'm surprised you never read the inflight magazine. As an avgeek I love looking at the route maps and information about the fleet. There are often interesting articles written by flight crew too.

The route map is about all id look at (plus any fleet details!) the virgin fleets is fairly simple anyway these days so not much in there for me! I just feel the 1st meal was on point and the rest were just an after thought. Agree it all went well until then… mainly the final meal for me that was a let down. Unsure if it was an incorrect catering problem as they didn’t mention anything. Would be helpful if someone in the comments could help us there

That's an interesting review, VA Premium is a nice place to be. My last VA flight was in Upper Class from JFK to LHR, the crew had definitely lost their spark. Has VA lost their wow factor?

@JTsJourneys 6 күн бұрын

Interesting that you felt the same. I put it down to the flight being the longest on the network, everything started off great but anything in the 2nd part of the flight felt like a chore

One of the perks of premium economy is an additional 23Kg checked bag, which is great if you are bringing back gifts.

@JTsJourneys 8 күн бұрын

That hadn’t even crossed my mind but totally agree! We were only away for a week so our bags were under packed enough to fit many many gifts in

@@JTsJourneys Another big benefit is that premium economy is rewarded with higher rates for points and tiers. It was my personal favourite for low cost status flight runs. Especially on long haul routes. You would need more flights but that wasn’t an issue for me.

@JTsJourneys 7 күн бұрын

The other plus is you can earn points and tiers on reward bookings too unlike BA

@davidlazarus67 7 күн бұрын

@@JTsJourneys Yes the lack of tier points on reward flights is a big failure from BA.
