    Thanks for the review. I am flying Virgin Economy Delight for the first time to Vegas in a few weeks. We have the front row seats as you go into the economy delight section (B & C)....hope that little extra legroom in ED makes it a little more comfortable 😊

    Thanks for this video. I was particularly looking for whether or not the ED arm rests went up. And you showed that they do! Super helpful.

    Great video. We are flying economy delight in Aug to hawaii. I have heard you get priority boarding and de boarding?

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Yes, Economy Delight gets priority boarding over Economy. However, deplaning depends on where your seat is. There’s no priority other than for Upper Class, after which its whoever is closer to the front gets of first. Enjoy your flight!

    Thanks for the informative video. At 6ft 4in tall it's nice to see there's an option between economy and premium for taller people. On another note, I do wish airlines would try and reduce the plastic wrapping on food, or at least use biodegradable options. They could have all the scones in a sealed container and give them out as they serve people as a simple solution.

    Nice to have a review from the back of the bus, your a better man than me, as a 14stone rugby player I would struggle I fear. Both my flights to LAS on the last 8 weeks have involved offloads at the gate and warnings about drink etc, however in UC the service was normal but I think I would have preferred your meals which is not good for UC. Thanks again

    If you are using a connecting flight which needs baggage check in does it help to have economy delight as I read you get priority check in. Does this help to save time vs using economy check in desk?

  • @jxnathanmark7661

    With your gold status, are you allowed to use the upper class lounge even though travelling economy? It’s nice to see a review from the back, and the delight seats looked lovely.

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. Yes, the gold status allowed me to use Upper Class check-in, priority security and the Clubhouse. As they weren’t part of the economy product I left them out of the review. The priority boarding was really useful though as I got a good five minutes to film around the cabin before anyone else boarded!

      They pretty consistently use a Dreamliner on this route. Although given they are about to get a series of new Airbus A330 neos, the route aircraft/allocations may change around a bit

If you book on the isle side, you'll get more free space !! Lol. As you can put your feet on the isle ! Lol.Good luck & safe trip !! I'm gonna be flying w/' em very very soon !!!

    Another great video. Will be taking the same flight (albeit standard economy) in November so looking forward to the experience. Other than the extra leg room, would you say there is much of a difference between standard economy and economy delight? Also, I've heard getting through immigration in Las Vegas can still be a long wait, is this still the case? Thanks - Alan

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. The only difference was the 3" extra leg room and priority boarding. The onboard service was the same.
      We arrived behind a KLM flight so there was a little queue at immigration. For some other people I knew on the flight, who were sitting further back, it took about an hour to clear immigration and collect bags. I've got Global Entry, so sailed through.

    How was the immigration and customs process upon arrival? I have been told that the lines at LAS are much shorter and the officers are much more courteous than those at Los Angeles. Even as a native-born U.S. citizen I have been treated extremely rudely at LAX.

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have Global Entry so it only took seconds. However some friends on the same flight too about 45 minutes to clear security and collect baggage.
      I agree with you that Las Vegas immigration officers are really good compared to some other airports. I’m sure everyone makes the same joke when they ask if you are bringing more that $10k dollars in cash into the country; ‘no, but I’m hoping to leave with it..’. And they still smile 😃
