As we all, for the most part, need to travel by plane to a cruise port destination, I appreciate you taking the time to review your travel arrangements as well. I vote for more of this in the future for your future vacations.

Can’t wait!! I will try out my best James Earl Jones voice over if I do a review. ✈️ subscribed. 🚨UPDATE🚨 due to the ongoing pandemic we have pushed back our departure until October and it’s A330-300 both ways!!!

Thanks for posting about your experience in Virgin's Premium Economy. I'll be flying them LHR-SEA in PE next month. I've flown Virgin 7 times - not 7 roundtrips, but 7 flights - all in Upper Class, so this next trip will be a new experience for me. my only concern about flying PE is whether the seat is comfortable. The seats are thin and don't look comfortable. Virgin is my favorite airline.

I generally fly Premium Economy on VA to London from Miami (my home) and have always had good results. Having worked for airlines in the 80’s, I got spoilt traveling up front. I don’t sleep very well on planes, so the extra space is always welcome. It’s possible that VA doesn’t serve nuts as snacks because of people with severe allergies. An expat watching in FL.

This is an excellent fully comprehensive review and had me giggling throughout 😂😂😂 Totally love the analysis whilst helping me make decision to try and upgrade again (rate permitting) If i get the bloody chance before my flight in a few weeks. I currently hold a Delight ticket to the states due to fly in a few weeks and I was offered £200 for the upgrade to premium a few weeks back and now its £1200. Im kicking myself daily....not sure if it will go down and after seeing both reviews im quite happy where i am but that extra 2 inches is a deal breaker for me. Recline is paramount for my comfort 😁 Medicinal calf stretches 😂😂 (actually handy for me) Passive aggressive territorial scrub in the economy carriage. That was hilarious 😂 Thank you for another brilliant review! Well worth subscription!

TYVM! Just some banal observations to make a comment for the sake of your Google algorithm. 1) I dislike these marketing names where I have to decide whether "Economy delight" or "Economy Premium" is better. My first thought is that past Premium is Delight. 2) I tend to not pass up an opportunity to be snide, so I would say that having airplanes designed by people who have designed airplanes before seemed to work out better than having cruise ships designed by people who have not designed a cruise ship before. :-) 3) Today, Branson said that Virgin Atlantic can't survive without government help. But I am sure they had bigger issues than you flying on them. :-)

Many thanks for this Rich. Very interesting comparison between economy delight (ED) and premium (PE). We're interested in the price difference. Not perhaps the actual $$$'s but probably more useful to know ratio. e.g ED 1 PE 2.5, meaning PE was 2.5 times the price. Is that possible? We're flying to LA next year to join a Celebrity Cruise ship to do the Panama Canal and so this would help our planning. Thanks again for all your videos which are so enjoyable and information packed.
