    I am reviewing economy class here for the first time! This was a fantastic deal using 10k points and $150 in taxes & fees to fly Virgin Atlantic economy class one way from Boston to London, on board the A330. As much as I would love to always travel in business or first class it is not always realistic for most of our budgets, and I often fly in economy class as well.
    I booked this flight last minute as I usually do and chose a seat toward the back with the good fortune of an empty seat next to me. The extra room and wonderful service sure made this experience a lot more enjoyable.

    Hi Jeff. I haven't been paying attention lately. I didn't know that you moved to flying. I have to catch up. Now real fast, I have to try to make another long distance train ride. Long story short, my train got cancelled on the morning that I was supposed to take my first long distance trip. lol😁. Only me. Well I'll be checking out your other videos. Happy travels.

      Hi Melanie! I'm so sorry to hear your train got cancelled, that seems to be happening often lately and it is so frustrating! I hope you are able to re-book soon. Next video will be a train, followed by a few more really great flights, then hopefully another Amtrak adventure if I can sneak away for a few days in the next month or two.

    Incredible video! im going to begin making airline reviews and this video gave me lots of insperation, im also flying this product soon and haven't been able to find reviews so this was really helpful thank you! if you could do you think you could provide me any tips about filming a flight like this?

    • @HDjeff
      @HDjeff  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks so much Dylan! You definitely don’t need to spend a lot of money on gear, you can make a great video even with just your phone to start but be yourself and tell a great story about your flight to draw people in. The first 10 seconds, the thumbnail and the titles are the most important parts of your video. I have gained the most valuable knowledge from Muse Storytelling (they’re on TH-cam) but you should definitely learn some fundamentals of filmmaking and how TH-cam works first. I’ve been making a living with a camera for nearly 15 years but this channel is completely different than anything else I’ve done, so it’s been a fun challenge to make these videos and I’m still learning a lot.

      Virgin doesn't fly to Miami, but I see codeshares with KLM and Air France from 12,500 points several dates this month or you can fly Virgin from Orlando also for 12,500 points & $150. I'm searching on virginatlantic.com and if you do a flexible search it'll show which dates are available.

      It’s not very long, maybe 3 hours because of breakfast service which is worth sleeping through if possible. Perhaps even less on your flight given the late sunset time now, bring an eye mask & earplugs and enjoy your trip!

    • @HDjeff
      @HDjeff  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, it felt like the typical 31”-32” seat pitch. The advantage with the Airbus vs Boeing is they’re typically about an inch wider in economy so they definitely feel more spacious.

  • @neilburns8869

    Although I have never really flown with Virgin Atlantic the impression I get of them is that they are a bit less formal than BA and a more relaxed attitude.
    But they fly to far fewer destinations in North America than BA, KLM, Lufthansa or Air France.

      This is regular economy, I booked with miles so I got to select my seat for free. Food is always served in economy on flights across the Atlantic unless it’s a budget carrier. You’ll get a similar meal & IFE on Delta, United & AA as well.

    Hmmm...I just flew Virgin Atlantic Economy classic from Los Angeles to London and it was the worst experience of my life. Why on earth have the seats recline in such a titchy space? The move was dreadful. The staff were so embarrassed by the guy in front of me literally trying to flatten his seat into my face by repeatedly heaving himself backwards that they let me sit in the crew seat at the back of the plane. I will not fly Virgin again for a long time. Horrible!!!
