I am so excited to be back on Virgin Atlantic! And I am more glad to do so on their Boeing 787-9 from London to Mumbai in their incredible Economy Delight product.
Not everyone might know, but Virgin Atlantic has been one of the first major rebels in the aviation world adding color to what was a grey government dominated skies.
They’ve been pioneers in the fields of IFE, product, affordability, quality and most important; the people behind.
I would fly them so much more if they just continued to fly to Dubai.. And they will in the end of 2023! But I couldn’t wait so I took a detour from London to Dubai via Mumbai 😆
This flight has been incredibly special for me, from arriving to their exclusive check in area at Heathrow to the on board experience.
I don’t know who does the recruiting at VS, but they’re incredible at it as each person along my journey was passionately in love with their job and they made my day.
A big thanks to the crew on VS 354 and I wish you all get to experience them soon.
It might not be the most affordable option to fly from London to Mumbai but I can guarantee you it’s the most fun! So join me on this 9 hour journey and I wish you a lot of watch pleasure!
See you and thanks for watching!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: London Heathrow Airport, London, The United Kingdom
To: Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Flight Number: VS 354
Aircraft Type: Boeing 787-9
Registration: G-VBEL
Flight Time: 08:50
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed our video!
Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion and feedback.
Have a nice one!
You can also leave a Super Like as a tip for my work. I’ll invest it all on future trips.

I would definitely choose Virgin Atlantic every day over BA. Virgin's fleet is quite consistent and offer a good service while BAs fleet is quite old. BA also always deploys most of its older B777s to India and some other Asian countries and fly a lot more modern aircraft to the United States which something I don't like.

They are also a lot more inclusive and diverse and which I personally really like also the bar and social space. I could go on for hours but I just prefer the vibe of VS more and I find BA to be a bit more boring and give the bare minimum to be a full service airline, I do like them I just prefer the atmosphere of VS

Great video of your flight with Virgin Atlantic to Mumbai. But I noticed an error in the early part of your video, as the 787-9 taxied to 27R for departure. So as the aircraft you're goes past aircraft, you describe aircraft type and destination, whether its departing or arriving. As the Virgin Atlantic 787-9 approaches 27R for departure, your video captures an A330-300, departing for IAD, Washington. But your caption states British Airways. It was in fact a Virgin Atlantic A330-300.Unfortunately BA does not have any A300-300's in their fleet. I'm sure you are fully aware of this. Most probably a typing error.

@9:12 the gap between 2 planes for both the runways is approximately 40 seconds. It still amazes me how the gateway to the world still operates with a 2 runway airport. They say that if Heathrow sneezes, the entire Europe will catch a cold. 😂

@TheLayoverAviation 8 ай бұрын

The gap is just loco! And they started to do something similar in Dubai from what I observed as I keep lining up one B777 behind one that hasn’t even departed yet! And yes, not only will Europe get a cold but parts of the world too. I counted 3 EK A380’s there at the same time. If heathrow shuts for 3 hours, that is 3 flights that have to be rescheduled from Dubai, +1500 passengers that have to be rebooked and miss their connections and more!

Recently flew Heathrow-Mumbai as well but on British Airways. From what I see in this video, fairly similar experiences barring the legroom. I think most economy flights on airlines on this tier will be pretty similar experiences Edit: One thing I did notice on the BA route (Idk if you noticed this as well on Virgin) was the extremely strong smell of the food throughout the cabin. I was already slightly nauseous heading into the flight and genuinely had to cover my nose to sleep. Idk if this is a universal thing or

@TheLayoverAviation 5 ай бұрын

I think that the smell of the food depends on how close you’re seated to the galley and how much vapor escapes the ovens. Not sure. But the legroom in Virgin Atlantic is far greater vs the one I experienced at BA!

If you ever get the opportunity you should try Virgin Australia! They also mirror some of that spectacular and friendly culture and service! And in Australia, they’re much better to fly than Qantas

@TheLayoverAviation 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info, I never really tried them. Too bad they’re not flying the B777’s any longer. I’ll try to give them a try whenever I head to Australia. I hope it is in the near future. Thanks for watching!

I went to London from Delhi by Vistara. Must say the seats and meals (two yummy hot meals) are far better. Plz try Vistara.

Any reason why the pilot configured everything so early, as Flaps 30 at 4000+ ft seem unusual, also the mechanism over the wing are real noise

But another great video

@TheLayoverAviation 8 ай бұрын

I think perhaps due to the recent thunderstorms.. There must have been a backlog and planes had to slow down? I don’t really know the exact reason, it’s not common. But it must have been an ATC instruction.

I been watching all your videos and how do you know so much about airplane functions. Let me guess I bet you are a private pilot lol I my self am a huge major aviation geek ❤ aviation since I was 7 now I'm a flight attendant and travel all over for work and fun well wait have not done duabi on my bucket list. I'm fascinated with your videos inwiah you would talk on the videos. I hate reading lol keep up the awsome job joking us in your adventures

@TheLayoverAviation 7 ай бұрын

It’s a big passion of mine and I work close with the industry. And yes, a major avgeek too! Currently spending 5 days at the Dubai Airshow so having the time of my life! I hope you get to visit Dubai soon, the UAE is the most pro-and loving-aviation country in the world. Regarding the talking on the video’s, I’ve thought of it but find that it would block a lot of the interesting sounds outside. But I’ll plan to show my face in the future once the channel is bigger as now I have have exclusivity contracts.. Thanks again for the mice words, I wish you many happy flights and keep making people’s days. It’s a beautiful job what you do!

Does VS have dedicated Indian crew working these routes? A lot of European carriers have saree-clad female crew based at their Indian stations. Great video. Thanks.

Good question. I know BA has. On this flight there were some people who might have been or have South Asian background but I didn’t ask. So I don’t know, sorry!

Hello I can answer this. Being a VS Delhi based crew,we used to cover DEL-LHR-BOM till pre Covid . Currently we don’t have any Indian crew in Bom flights but we have just hired Indian crew for Bom base . So one can see them next year. Thank you @TheLayoverAviation for a wonderful review.
