I thought the UK was anti carbon? You realize this jet used around a ton and a half of kerosene before it even took off?

Thanks for watching! Great experience, it was actually a trip for my own 40th and crew was very engaging, asked why we had gone to NYC, when she heard it was my birthday I was given the card with a couple of glasses of champagne. Was such a nice gesture. Yes they absolutely had options if memory served it was something very light or a full cooked breakfast as well. I have sweet tooth so waffle was a must for me 😊. The A330-300 on way out had seen better days but virgin cabin crew really do make the “brand” pity more airlines don’t still value their crews as they do make a difference to experience.

@armychap0072 ай бұрын
Certainly looks like a good experience and a fantastic crew makes all the difference. Hope the person celebrating their 40th birthday had a great time! Was there a choice of dish for the breakfast on board? Your plate all looked very sweet and I'm curious to know if there was a savoury option.

Really like the footage of your aircraft turning on to stand in GLA. It's just as well GLA is a very quiet airport and could block off several stands to accommodate the EK A380 diversion! I doubt many airports could have facilitated this. Hope you managed to run through LHR and reclear security to make your onward connection. Thanks for uploading this video.

@AvgeekAndrew4 ай бұрын
Thanks for checking it out. I did book premium, got an exceptional deal as a package with Expedia, however I would be reluctant to book via Expedia again even with the great pricing they often have with VS as the flight had several schedule changes as it was booked so far in advance and every change was an absolute ordeal from them rebooking wrong flights to even the wrong class, the staff were so poorly trained at reissue of tickets. Some calls were 90 mins plus to resolve and endless online chats. The TWA Hotel was an avgeek bucket list item! 😊

Nice trip report! Looks like it's worth paying £59 for lounge access, a free middle seat and decent on board catering and service. Although I can remember that 30 years ago a meal like that would have been served in Lufthansa economy class on a flight of this length!
@AvgeekAndrew6 ай бұрын
Absolutely worth it especially given we had flown from Vienna early that morning spent day in Frankfurt and was wonderful to spend some time, rest and even shower in lounge before last leg back to Glasgow. Thanks as always for watching. Couple of more BA and EZY soon and then VS premium which im really looking forward to.

Agreed in two minds also they have started this route and it was virtually full! Time will tell when it goes daily who blinks first. Would be a blow to LM but unfortunately as times for me were spot on and more than half the price of LM so couldn’t resist. Maybe T3 can come back on IOM and start flights from Wick to central belt, two minds about how that would work and carrier though! Thanks again for watching, EasyJet did a great job on this one. ✈️

Glad to see that easyJet got you to Southampton safely in bad weather despite the delay. It was a nice touch that they offered complimentary drinks on board as a way of making up for the inconvenience. I'm in two minds about EZY flying between GLA and SOU. There is definitely a lot of demand for this route and their fares are usually less than Loganair. However if they force Loganair off the route with then the business friendly schedule will be lost and the route could be served by easyJet once a day at random timings. I'm afraid I don't think GLA-IOM would be a viable route on an A319 twice a week. Too much capacity and not enough demand. Loganair struggled to make the route work on a Saab 340 and if I remember correctly they stared that more passengers wish to fly between IOM and EDI than GLA. Thanks for sharing your experiences of flying on this route.

Nice video. In my opinion BA Cityflyer have got the service just right on this route with a complimentary drink and snack. I love their E190s and always try to get seat 2D if I can as the legroom is amazing. I've snagged it a few times from GLA to LCY and also on a charter flight from GLA to SZG operated on behalf of TUI. It will be interesting to see how the passenger comfort will be affected when BA Cityflyer reconfigure their aircraft this year with 8 additional seats.
@AvgeekAndrew7 ай бұрын
Totally agree the comfort and service level are spot on. I’ve enjoyed 2D ALC & PMI to GLA on a TUI charter. Phenomenal leg room. I wish EGPF could attract even a part time or seasonal base from Cityflyer. It will be interesting to see if they go BOB service with additional seats and extra cabin crew. Still great little aircraft and config especially if travelling as a pair.
