I know you must have been feeling awful when you filmed this so thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty for us. Hope the next hospital appointment brings better news.
Looked fairly standard to me . Certainly nothing to differentiate it from any other airline . I’m assuming the disgraceful comment was Klick bait
I'll take my hat of to this guy, he works hard to deliver these videos.
Was listening to Jeff buys cars earlier, and he summed it up really.
Vlog, edit,fire the video off, view comments/ etc, etc, etc. .
You look after yourself
Lee. You do a great job, and we all love your videos. So long may they keep coming!!👍😎
Thank you.
I thought the flight seemed ok. Cannot blame the pilot or crew that the meal served was substandard. I really liked the talk they gave, thanking the passengers for choosing Virgin. More to life than food. Otherwise loved the video, great filming, appreciate the vlog
Bit of a biased view I thought,Virgin are ok,agree with you.
Their advert on tv puts me off. All those strange characters appearing. Get well soon. 'Onwards '.
Flying long distance in economy will cause health problems
Hope your health improves soon. We are all routeing for you Lee.
Any comments mentioning Lee's health are well out of order!
Unfortunately most airlines have cut back which affects the level of service they provide. The aviation industry has been battered by the impact of Covid.
It may be the case that the flight was particularly bad for Lee as he wasn't feeling well and that could be the reason for being extra critical of the lack of gratuities available unlike before.
I hope your health improves Lee and keep up the good work. The effort you put in to your videos is remarkable 👍👏
Covid didn't cause anything - incompetent, corrupt government servants caused it all. Look no further than the official records of the US Congress to see who created Covid and released it upon the world. Hint, it's the same small group of people who have done similar sinister things in the past. When will the sheep realize they've been deceived?
I get what you are saying but there is a lot of competition on transatlantic flights so Virgin's economies are false as they have now lost a passenger, probably not the first, to Jet Blue. I normally fly SIA between LHR and MNL at least once a year but this year, I flew CX. Never again because their service is not up to scratch so their economies have cost them. With flights costing significantly more this year, rightly or wrongly,I do expect the same level of service that I received before the pandemic otherwise I will take my custom elsewhere.
Gotta say that flight looked pretty darn good from your video. New aircraft, seemed on time, good in seat video, great and pleasant service announcements. Food looked on par with other airlines. Don’t think you were fair at all with your video title.
Right thank you again for the flight back video. May I praise up the Captain of Virgin today he was very friendly indeed. The photographer ie you Lee made an excellent job of the video. I didn't see the food served so cannot mark out of 10. To me though I would fly with Virgin myself as an outsider. Now Lee do as your told by Doctors Chill.out my friend and lets Go another day after a break Cheers Keith x
Great vlog as always Lee considering your condition, music editing is top notch.
The last airline I used was BA & found them to be first class & was well looked after but I was flying business class & the food on your Virgin flight did not look much, but maybe give it another year or so & some of these airlines might loosen the purse strings a bit after what they went through with Covid.
Hopefully you are resting up Lee & spending quality time with your family.
Obviously do not rush back until you are 100% fit & we will still be here waiting for your vlogs.
Take care Lee
To be fair, the crew and pilot seemed to be excellent, shame about the food too. Hope you’re doing ok today.
I’m flying to Boston in September from Heathrow on Delta. This is a new one for me. My worst many years ago was Air India.
Great video Lee, time to take Some time out & get yourself back to full health 🙏
Was impressed with the professional crew and flight staff. Good video knowing how badly you felt my friend. Hopefully you’re feeling a lot better now. Best wishes as always.
❤ hopefully you getting well
I adore VA and their crew I have to be honest. I love their approach to allowing the crew to be who they are. I’ve had ice cream but only on the outbound/day flights, I suppose the only difference is I don’t fly in economy. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience.
Loved the story about your dad picking you up. Those memories don’t leave you ❤
Flying waiters to be who they are?? What a stupid thing to say 😭😭
Enjoyed that, thanks again :)
Sad that, first flew VA in 1989 London to Miami to get married on the beach in my kilt, it was a special event then to fly with them, gave you loads of stuff free and really looked after you the whole flight with great food, ice cream and entertainment, BA were equally as good then and we used to just fly whoever was the cheapest after that first trip, we even brought Bikes back that we bought at KMart with no charges 😂
I fly with the cheapest to be honest...money shouldn't dictate your flight plans not whether you get a ''microwave'' meal or not
Lee,
It all started to go downhill when Virgin got into bed with Delta as a 49% shareholder. That food was disgraceful. The only way now is Upper Class but they severely restrict mileage redemptions on some routes. Just think, it could have been worse if you bought a virgin ticket and ended up on a decrepit Delta plane with even older crew. Hope you feel better soon.
Most airlines seem to be having a race to the bottom regarding the level of onboard service and the quality of the food and drink. Maximize profit and screw the customer.
You're right about the food. I always take food on board these days. It is dire. Hope you are on the mend soon and feeling much better.
Yet another beautiful flight video. Love your flight videos.
Nice one Lee, hope you are coming along ok. Stay chilled👍
Lee. A big thank you for showing your adventures back to UK. You did well under the circumstances you was not well then. Take care.
Fare play to you Lee for putting this video out considering you was probably not feeling that well so it's a massive 👍👍👍👍👍👍 from me
I flew that same JFK-Heathrow service back in April and have to say my experience was entirely positive. The aircraft ("Eliza Doolittle") was just two months old and was simply a delight. The seats were comfortable and the cabin crew very attentive. The food wasn't first class, but then I hadn't paid first class prices. But it was more than adequate for my needs and I had no complaints. In fact, my overall experience was so good that I've booked with them again to New York in a few months time.
Amazing Vlog Lee as always 😁 Hope you are feeling better my friend😁
Even when you know there's something wrong you still maintain your high level presentation skills! That can't be easy Lee..Always the professional. 😉 our thoughts are with you and your recovery.❤️❤️xx
Thanks for the vlog Lee considering how Ill you were!! Hope you re feeling a bit better 👍🏻
It’s awesome to see @jetblue get the great feedback from customers on their service to London. Hope to see them keep expanding to England and Europe.
Crazy to hear how Virgin Atlantic service has gone down hill.
Thanks for the video lee hope you feel better soon take care
If you think that that was bad, you want to try Air Canada... the meals were crap, 90% of the cabin crew were miserable and one of them was aggressively racist towards the Asian customers....
Controversial 😂
the observation about the difference in quality of food UK-US vs US-UK is spot on. I have always found this with BA - not bad from the UK, awful from US. Nice video as ever!
Enjoyed the flight home video Lee.....I hope you are improving and feeling a bit better.
Take lots of care ❤❤💎xx
Awesome Captain! Love his voice...
Very calming!!
Get better soon lee all the best
Looked a lovely flight with nice pilot informing. Any turbulence they would probably come give you a cuddle lol
Great vlog and putting on the strong face to get work done. Lee we all appreciate how much you do for us to enjoy. Looking forward to vlogs when your back to a solid 90% 🤕
Nice to see you, yes the food did look rough, everybody is cutting down and pricing up now😮😮 ❤
Wow that pilots announcement it was incredible acting. Give him an oscar! Lol
It's the same here in Australia mate😒 As we live out country..We need to catch a local flight to Brisbane, 1 hr.
Then a 4-5hr flight to Perth, to visit Grandkids. I try to do the morning flight, in which you get a box with Yoghurt, a muffin and apple slices 😮 Or/ A piddly looking Omelette with bread 😝 Next food over the 5hrs is 1 little Lindt chocolate..a bottle of water, coke etc!!
We pay over a $1,500 each return for this Luxery 😕 Bloody criminal..that is Qantas.
Hoping you’re feeling a lot better now. Sending all my best wishes to you
Mister Macmaster true to your word ya put out a vlog 😊best wishes Lee for 'onwards my friends' 💯👌
Great vid again as always,well done mate especially under the circumstances. Careful with that sushi look what happened to the Russian dude😮
Hi Lee Buying prepackaged sushi from Kennedy Airport is a chance I wouldn’t take lol nice vlog Virgin is not the same as it was it’s going the way of United Was that the infamous cous cous salad during the meal , like on every United trans Atlantic flight lol the captain and the Virgin Team were nice and informative, nice travel vlog take care Lee in my prayers always
After seeing your last videos mate, I can safely say you are the man. If my body was telling me the things yours was, I don't think I could have done this kind of vlog.
Keep well my friend.
Fantastic video of the planes at JFK. Thank you!❤
Amazing to see you do a video on your flight home given how unwell you were. Take time out to rest and recover (have been seeing your health updates) and hope the next scan on your liver has a positive outcome and the blood clot is diminishing. A very scary time for you but we’re all here wishing you the best 🥰🇦🇺
Another fun video. I particularly liked when your US driver passed a King Kullen supermarket since my dad retired from there 40+ years ago.
I highly commend you for putting that vlog together, feeling so ill. Hope everything is going well right now.
I totally agree with you on the cutting back of the inflight cabin experience, BA is no different, 21 hours into our flight to Sydney, we got a finger sandwich for breakfast.
I've not used Virgin, ever. The seats seem overpriced on the transatlantic routes. There's better (and cheaper)competition on these route with nicer flight experiences, although I've had worse with Air France on return from LA.
Take it easy Lee and come back when you're ready.
I could've parachuted out as you passed over my house, north of Liverpool!!!! Hope you're keeping up with Doctors orders. Onwards my friend!
Hi lee thanks for taking us with you on your travels i always enjoy the videos i hope your feeling better take care mate Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺
Another great video! stay safe and well, look forward to seeing many more from you in the future! All the best! 👍👍👍
Great vlog Lee, hope you’re feeling a bit better ❤
Great travel vlog lee knowing what we know now awesome getting through the travel journey home 👍😊💜
at 16:38 the food in the white container reminds me of school lunch ... are they treating passengers like schoolchildren now ?!
I enjoyed this as I do all your videos, you really let Virgin have it, I've flown Virgin in the past and it was so much better than most others at the time, its sad that its fallen, but once Delta was involved what do you expect.
I have to say the Captains message at the end of the trip seemed so sincere and he spoke well even if that statement was prepared, Id Fly Virgin again as I don't have lofty expectations from any airline, I'm a picky eater and expect the food to be of no little use to me, I always take pringles cookies and candy with me then pig down once I hit a garden centre in the motherland. Get well Pal, we are all pulling for you.
I haven't tried jetBlue across the pond yet (I'm a Brit living in NYC) but right now my go-to is the Norse premium cabin for the redeye from NYC to London. Massive leather seats with 43-inch pitch and huge recline (not flat, obvs) for around $400-500 one way. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone! 🤫
1 litre Jameson was selling there at $39.99 (about £32.12). World Duty Free are quoting £22.79 at Heathrow. Tesco charge £26 if you have a Clubcard or £31 otherwise. Morrisons and Asda will match the £26 too 🥃
I agree with your food comments - it isn’t what it used to be but disagree with the rest - it’s still a great airline with great staff. Times have changed but Virgin still has that bit of magic and is different from the others (in my view).
Very informative video my friend. Thanks for sharing!
hope you are well. i think you are doing virgin atlantic wrong if i have to travel virgin i always go with low expectations and i am never disappointed
Haven't been on a plane for about 10yrs(pet issues) but I feel as though I've been on countless holidays, so many thanks Lee.
I am amazed you created such a lively video in your distressed state. I am glad that you are being taken care of now.
Lee’s videos are out of sequence, when he did this one it was days ago when he was still in the states.
He got ill in the states...
@@aileenbyrne8941 I think that we all know that.
I think the same could be said of other suposed top tier air lines like BA.
New angle, reviewing the food in hospital canteen 😂,🙈hope you get top site of this soon Lee,as sed look after your self,we will all be waiting 👍😎
Really didn't see any problem with this flight or with VA/BA flights in general. Always have a relaxing, enjoyable experience and feel well catered for and that's in economy seating. In my experience, it goes a long way to show the cabin crew some respect and courtesy, something a few entitled Brits fail to do these days but expect stellar service in return. Lower the expectation level and all is fine. Hardly any service we use, or goods we buy these days are as they used to be. Hope you're on the mend Lee and feeling better. Take extra care of yourself.
Can’t really see what your problem is? You seemed to have a full product/service. You didn’t get an amenity kit? Big deal. They have items which you may need if you ask? Most passengers leave them behind anyway. You need to adjust your expectations.
Hope you are getting better.
Love your videos
Love your vlogs, get well soon❤
Tui was the same when we flew to Florida? Didn’t even get the headphones?? And food was so rubbish it was like it was taken from another plane quickly in a rush!! I hope you feeling slightly better!!
Hope your doing OK Lee keep us all updated ❤
Lee, another top video and I have to say It made me feel sad how Virgin have fallen. Now take it easy and cut back on the graft until you are recovered and fighting fit again.
Fantastic flight vid Lee ,Shame about the food ,hope your health is on the mend 👍
It looked a pretty decent flight with a modern aircraft and landed safely ….
Enjoyed the vlog. Take care Lee and hope you are doing a bit better. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
You need to readjust your expectations for transatlantic economy travel…
I haven’t flown Virgin since 2017, however we are booked to go Heathrow to Orlando in January. Historically been my favourite airline but watching this video it definitely seems to have gone backwards. Cooked food looked rubbish!
It's a shame for sure, I used to fly to the States quite regualrly from Gatwick South on the Virgin Atlantic 747's, and experienced all three levels of cabin, economy, Premium economy and Upper class and always found it to be a great experience. I haven't flown for quite a while now so looks like standards have sadly slipped. This being said though, I did like the message from the Captain on landing back in England...On another note, if you happen to read this Lee, I hope you are looking after yourself and things turn out good for you. All the best....Simon...Nottingham.
Never had a problem with virgin food has been okay.Nothing has changed with soft product I had everything like the amenity kit in vs5 to MIA. Pilot was also really thankful he definitely loves where he works!
I hope your well soon Lee ❤
You didn’t look at all well on your way back Lee. I hope you are starting to feel a wee bit better. Take it easy! ❤
Thank you. I felt dreadful.
Sadly, having used Virgin a lot in the past , now, they are nothing more than a Low Cost Carrier. Virgin used to be fantastic 😢
Great video lee hope your doing ok with your health conditions. I’ve been bad lately with me metal health and really enjoy your videos. Ps I flew to Miami on a virgin flight back in the early 90s a 747 had a great amenities pack even had a shoe horn in it which I’ve still got to this day
The Airbus A350-1000 is defo on my bucket list to fly on! Hope you're on the road to recovery buddy👍
Get well soon Lee, love your Vlogs
Love an informative pilot! Enjoy your rest and take it easy
loved watching your trip back to uk ,hope you get back to your old self love your channel lee
Thought Virgin was a BIG name, obviously not anymore. An honest review bud. All the best Lee
Delta the best 👌 what's with all the pink lighting on the plane? Good on ya filming and feeling well !
Wait you drove home? Wow. Then again, if you drove down....... Glad you're home safely. Get lots of rest and get well soon.
I really like your taste in music, if there was a MacMaster radio, I'd probably listen to it a lot 🙂
Really really truly hope you get well soon.. I really am so sorry for being too kind. Currently having a few beers in Castleford Wetherspoon's, just letting someone know where I am,as I feel safer. All the best and take care ❤️
Time to relax Lee. Look after yourself. Hope all goes well mate
Yep, duty free seems to be anything but cheap these days. Always cheaper at your local Supermarket.
Rest up and we hope the Doc’s sort you out and have you back normal soon.
Return of the MAC👌
Airlines are definitely tightening their budgets these days, especially when it comes to cheaper flights . But still, you would think that at least one food item would be edible.
