I would have expected you to show us the dedicated bar counter for 1st and business class, not just the seating area. It is always an eye catcher.

There wasn’t a bar counter on the plane. Just lounge seating. Perhaps there was a counter on the old configuration?

Compared to European business class, it was very good. I reviewed the long haul experience from London to Hong Kong here: Cathay Pacific Business Class - worth the price? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLyKmNRyl66deZs.html

Hi Thanks for the video. Taking Virgin to London in December, and It provided all the info I need. Quick note from another creator: The music was very distracting as the volume went up and down so often. I'd prefer it just remain at the lower volume even when you're not speaking. Just trying to be helpful :)

The 30 inch pitch is not adequate. For those working with laptops you really need more and fat people simply cannot get the tray down to eat, having instead to twist to the central seat tray and the divider platform. BA would do well to restore 34 inches, while keeping the Euro-biz configuration and the cabin flexibility. I wonder what the figures are for business class utilisation. Really they could do it and it would be so welcomed. So what if a few lucky Economy passengers get to have more room too, after all BA could variously; charge a fee, upgrade status holders, or accommodate tall people/disabled/pregnant who really need it. It would also tip the balance of choice for some going long haul, from going via AMS or FRA say, to going via LHR with BA instead. If I was magically in charge of BA I'd do this straight away and also give orders for a better flowing bar too. Make domestic business class more spacious and fun again.

So the seat recline 1 inch more than economy?!! That’s a joke! In longhaul flights the most important thing is whether you can sleep comfortably Here I am paying more than $1000 just for 4 extra inches in width!! Hard pass.

Those seats are just awful. You have to ‘bend’ when lying flat and they have little privacy. Their new product is so much better, I am surprised they fly the old school on that premier route. Avoid them if you can.

Sorry but I usually agree with your assessments, just disagree with a few of your observations, having flown VS recently and many times before the food offerings are dire and have been now for a number of years, I wouldn’t say the wine selection was extensive and for the seat, well it’s way past it’s sell by date, don’t get me wrong it’s great for sleeping in but compared to BA Club Suite it’s inferior. The JFK Clubhouse is great but again showing its age. The ground staff and crew are always great with VS, this particular video feels like a marketing campaign with only a nod to some short comings you experienced. Again sorry if that’s not the case but perhaps my consistent dissatisfaction with VS over the last few trips has blurred my vision, unfortunately I have jumped ship to BA, I have VS Gold For Life and hopefully I will return but for the time being is farewell for me.
@DoorsToAuto19 күн бұрын
VS have new menus and a wider wine selection from the beginning of this month. I agree the previous offering wasn’t that great, but the new F&B is significantly better.

Certainly not a fan of that layout, and how aged and worn was that seating area. Food presentation was poor and considering the price BA looks much better. In my view Virgin have lost their way and offer nothing different.

I’ve flown upper class in the herringbone configuration. However I’ve also been fortunate to fly upper class on the A350 leisure configuration. Whilst the standards of service on both were impeccable the A350 only had 16 upper class seats so felt a lot more exclusive 😎😎😎😎

Interesting review, I had the same mains on my Upper Class flight from JFK, the food didn't come across as very "Upper Class", rather underwhelming in my experience. On a side note, Delta only uploads partial box sets on their IFE. I would presume they're funnelling viewers onto paid subscription services to watch the rest of the boxset.

I've been lucky enough to fly upper class a few times but on the 787. Would be interested in a review of the a350 Manchester to Las Vegas. With only 16 upper class seats in a small cabin it would be interesting to see how the service differs from a standard flight and what the experience is like at Manchester T2.
