    A few days before the world locked down in March 2020, I was flying back from Austin via JFK to Heathrow on an economy ticket. My connecting flight to JFK was delayed and upon landing I had to sprint across the airport and was the last person to board the VA A350 - they scanned my boarding card and upgraded me free of charge to seat A1 in Upper. Little did I know what would happen next in the world, but for those six hours in Upper I sat the happiest I have ever been on a plane. An amazing product! Glad you enjoyed it too!

      @Lucas McMaster it depends very much on the airline and level of medical support they have on board. They can get in touch via sat phone or radio if needed. Often the remote support is more about logisticsl support. For example, if a patient needs cardiac specialist services, it may be better to fly 20 minutes further to be nearer to a specialist centre.

It went further north latitude and the sun actually set for some time, came back up a ways, the sat again soon after we arrived in Los Angeles. For an aviation geek and astronomy geek a nice flight like that, and two "days" in one 24 hour period doesn't get much better.

    Isn't it nice that your son shows you all the cool features? Probably thought he broke his table when he found that "feature" Haha.
    Cool price for sure!! Not a fan of all the hard plastic surfaces. Great idea of them to let you sync your phone to the IFE screens. JetBlue does this as well and no doubt all the other carriers with IFE.

    Yeah, I agree the A350 is the best present airliner to be build. Unfortunately I never flew VS Upto now. But it’s on my list... My favorite airline for First Class is THAI. For Business it’s SINGAPORE. Thanks for yr wonderful reports. Many Happy Landings to you n yr family, always!

    Thanks for the review Noel! After enduring a 5 hour delay yesterday on a 10 hour BA flight (LHR to LAX) due to a blocked sink (yes really!) I've been thinking of making the switch to Virgin.

      Thank the Yanks inability to plan their 5G network as a large part of that. BA, along with multiple carriers around the world, are restricted on flying B777s into the US after the switch on this week. It's resulted in planes having to divert, not being allowed to be used to fly there and a myriad of issues.
      This wouldve meant that where BA would've likely changed your aircraft to a 772 or 3 they couldn't due to the NOTAM ( all but) banning their use across a large portion of the US airport network. Also sorry to be the barer of bad news, but VS suffer just as bad delays at times for just as random reasons.,

      @@jakehowie442 It’s not bad at all though economy long haul is quite a tough one regardless of the plane. The A380 is both spacious and quiet and is generally a dream to fly on. Unfortunately BA have had a a lot of technical problems and delays with the A380 so I think they have put them back on short haul routes for now.

    Hey, Noel I don't know if you are aware but there's a new airline on the go in Europe this year.
    Alitalia has gone.
    The new airline that is Italy's new national flag carrier is called ITA Airways.
    I will leave you to do your own research and maybe a little bit later on in the year you can try them out with a flight to maybe Milan or Rome.
