PLEASE READ:
Like everyone else, we are very concered about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-May. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future!
We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strength in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe!
Greetings from Vienna,
David and Felix
Well thats alot of writing
In your figure to get london. Your loves is true flight every weeks
Simply Aviation now in beirut is a Bad situation
@@theperfumer2703 Man, Russell Designer video's are sick. Man, he just start like in December and he knows what to do?
Your videos are cool 😎
Dose anyone else pause the video when he shows the menu and decides what they would get if they were on that flight 🤣😂
Yes I do that 😂🤣😂
Oh Yeah,Always!!!!!!😂🤣
I did pick the BBQ Pork hahaha
Every single time!
Me Too!
2:21 It's funny to hear those people laughing
Ruben Büttner It’s like one of those unnecessary laugh tracks that you would hear in sitcoms
Here the A330 but oh people are dead laughing in the background.
2:22 they were def. enjoying 🤣🤣
I know lmao 😂
And of course, the usual lovely London weather :DDDDDDDDDD
It actually doesn't rain that much in London. Rain is way more common in the Western parts of the UK
@@awesomeeverton7111 And Scotland xd
Today 22nd may there’s no precipitation and fully sunny
UK in general looks more beautiful when it’s cloudy and overcast.
Hello from Ireland, the UK’s rain shield 😂
I took an ATL to LHR Virgin flight on the same A330-300 and also sat in economy (61A). Although I felt very close to my neighbor (the seats seemed very close together) I found the legroom good and the dinner tasty (gnocchi). The staff was very friendly and all in all, a smooth, excellent flight.
Thanks for your report, David!
4:28 Singapore Airlines still the best Transatlantic airlines.
Still unbeatable.
Without a single doubt
I prefer QATAR AIRWAYS AND EMIRATES...THE NEW YORK-MILAN ROUTE SERVED BY EMIRATES IS THE BEST
@@herbertthiery3331 I think Emirates and Qatar are better...i have flown the route from milan to new york and vicevers served by emirates 380 and it was wonderful
GIHAN If Emirates or Qatar would provide a Premium Eco... Mmm, that’ll be the best value flying in the world.
@@307skylake7 your wish has been granted (on Emirates at least)
The background noises makes it more authentic
Other than the size of the dinner it would be hard to find fault with this flight.
I agree, though the meal did look nice (I normally don't like the sound of the food on Virgin), it was small, also - what is the point of that tiny key lime pie? But the snack box did look adequately good, I was pleasantly surprised...
A greeting from either stewardess at 3:14 would have been nice. Both chatting to each other & brunette even looked round but no response. A simple 'hello' would not have gone a miss....
Jesus, was there a binge-drinking party going on at the gate? Thanks for the video!
Amazing work David as Always! I always love watching simply aviation trip reports, brutally honest, vlogs and everything else on this channel! But what I love so much about this channel is that it is always the same video style but it is always different content! 👍✈️
Thank you for another great trip report, David. Stay safe and here’s to seeing you in the sky again soon.
Love that you take the subway whenever in New York! Awesome video. Really wish Virgin America still existed.
One of my favorite airlines.
Only just started watching this channel and this is amazing. All your trip reports are so well detailed and appeal to anyone from frequent flyers to people just browsing the internet. I used to travel a lot but haven't been on a plane in years. Keep up the good work and stay safe :)
I always love your subway/ local transportation footage whenever you fly out of the NY metro airports, especially JFK.
Love the lights inside the cabin.
Why do i always assume is felix when i see economy class and david when its business class coverage ?
Love your commitment to posting even through these tough times. Thanks Simply Aviation!
LOVE all your trip report videos. very thorough and concise. Thank You!!
The video looks like an echo from a different era, when there was no social distancing and traveling was a normal thing. Those people did not know that somewhere else, in Wuhan, China, a tiny little RNA molecule was entering the scene. It would change the world forever. Btw, I like your suitcase :D
The vid was before Covid-19
@@dirkifyyy November 2019 says the video description, that‘s when this whole thing very likely started in one way or another.
Yessir David coming in clutch with the vid 🔥🔥🔥👏👏 something to get me through quarantine lol
the size of that menu , like a cookie !! 😱
This is like flying on a Virgin Atlantic Airbus a330-300 flight flight from JFK-New York to LHR-London Heathrow and the best time is to leave home in the evening and get to the airport at night that way to get to your destination in the morning so good job with the editing Simply Aviation your flight was smooth
That moment when you walk inside a virgin plane 💜 nice report David 😌
Ty for doing this video I am going to England in a couple of weeks and this gives me a better understanding about virgin so thank you
Simply Aviation is back with new tripreport videos.
I never understand why Virgin group airlines don't provide universal power outlets lol😂, not even on their A350s.
😲😲😲.. seriously.. not even on A350???
They do provide a USB port.
@@jetpigeon8758 Not on Air bus ,if you fly in an economy class .💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
@@travelandbeyonds I just flew with Virgin A350 both ways from LAX / LHR ,in de light & premium ,I didn't think they did ,so googled it ,their website info said in economy ,only Boeing .Lol. 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Simply Aviation never failed to impress me
Remember that David met Paul Lucas on this trip. Anyone else watched Paul’s review?
He flew on the newer A350 which came a bit later after this A330
First! I know this video will be great! Because all of your videos are!
I have only recently discovered your channel I’m impressed keep up the great work 👍
really enjoyed watching this... im taking this flight in 3 weeks time so nice to see what i have to look forward to :)
Loved that timelapse on the AirTrain
Super helpful for my upcoming trip! Thanks :)
got to say what an amazing flight with Virgin Atlantic really enjoyed thank you
Flew that Singapore A380 flight from JFK to FRA a few years back.. Lovely flight!! Have not had the opportunity to fly with virgin yet.
I was your fan before 50k Subs. I remember loving to cuddle up and watch your videos with my dad.
super fan right here ❤️
Great Video as always! Hope to fly on Virgin Atlantic one day :)
Thanks for the perfekt vids simply aviation!!!!!!
Love your videos and how committed you are to uploading especially through this rough time. #ReportByDavid
Great trip report. The dinner was quite small, but it's good that they served a small snack box for breakfast. Most airlines only serve 1 meal for a 6-hour flight
Thanks as always David... a most comprehensive flight review....hope Virgin Australia can survive this crisis...they are in big financial trouble and recent events have not helped as you can imagine !! Great take off views of a great city...hopefully when this mess is over I will !! Never seen a pie in a jar ?? Only on Virgin of course !! Pretty good flight on such a competitive route between London and NYC. Thanks again David and take care in these troubled times !!
What the smooth landing
I’ll bet you’re not looking forward to any subway or train rides anytime soon! Really nice flight with everything you need.
I’ll bet you can’t wait to get back to Clutter‘s Park at LAX though. Stay safe David and thanks for entertaining us while we are cooped up!❤️👍✈️
Hey @SimplyAviation , as always, a 5-star Tripreport,so keep it up 😁.
Here I want to tell how I watch your Tripreports :
1. I always skip the takeoff and landing scene because it was too long
2. I will pause the video if there a menu cards because everytime I watch your Tripreports, I always fell like I'm flying with you.
3. If there's an award for the World's Best Tripreports Channel,you deserve it because the engine sounds are our music and the cabin noises are our entertainment for every video.
Keep it up and continue to publish Tripreports @SimplyAviation, you're the best channel for any avgeek on this planet.
P/S : The laugh between 2:20 to 2:30 is the worst laugh i've ever heard 🤣🤣
NEW YORK IS BEAUTIFUL AND I MISSED IT SO MUCH.
Great video - I would love to do London Heathrow to JFK one day
Great video as always 👍🏼
To me, it looks like Virgin have really downgraded their food offering, which is a shame as they are always more expensive than BA on the London to NYC route.
I love the take off sound
Rolls Royce trent 700 sound.
I enjoyed the review David I’ve always wanted to fly on Virgin Atlantic’s service from LHR to JFK. I hope they stay around...
i cant get enough from simply aviation🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This exact one flew over mine about 6 hours ago! Its doing Manchester to New york now
Worked for both airlines in the U.K. & US in the 80’s. Being a Brit but living in the US for almost 40 years, I’ve done the Miami to LHR a lot. I always go VA and usually in Premium Economy since I think the price difference is worth it. Have done a few trips in first class back when points were worth something. Just hope they can ride out the current crisis.
Nice video nice flight attendants :)
The view at 7:21 was so beautiful 😍😍😍😍 That's why I love flying and aviation😁😁
It’s amazing 🤩
i alwasy enjoy watching your video Simply Aviation
Linda aproximação em Londres... Bom serviço da Virgin. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿♥️
I really want to try Virgin Atlantic to see how they compare to BA but BA always seemto be cheaper
Thomas Mortimore BA charge extra for seat selection whereas Virgin doesn’t so that can eliminate the price differences.
David Lazarus only if you care where you sit and as a bronze member it’s free 7 days before flight so normally plenty of window seats left
BA us cheaper because they are worse.
Thomas Mortimore Yes but not applicable to the occasional traveller. I love having a window seat. Not everyone likes their family spread all over the plane.
Tymgames I’ve never had a bad flight on BA. Longest delay was 3 hrs due to bad weather taking off from Heathrow
Ur videos always refresh my mind
Virgin Altlantic seems to be a good airline ! Maybe , with the new code-share with Air France I will test there product in the future, I hope so !
Hi, thanks!
Question: Why did you put your hand baggage on plane storage instead of overhead? I know this kind of hand baggage(up to 10 kg) is free on all tickets and can be stored overhead. Thanks!
Great report. Virgin Atlantic really do provide a very good product. Universal power outlets to help to finish it off. I suppose they don’t include as a lot of their flights service a more leisure mark, but still!
Awesome 😙😙
NYC Subway is amazing I LOVE IT
Whats with the RCA connectors, can you plug a PS2 to the IFE?
I flew on Virgin’s A330 awhile ago and I really prefer BA. BA is usually a lot cheaper and the food is much better between NY and London. I would like to try Virgin’s new A350 though.
NYC Flyer did you hear about how BA got from London heathrow to New York In just 5 hours on their 747? It was the fastest 747 flight look it up
Creepypasta Aviation5743 yeah that happened during that big storm. I wish I was on that flight!
I usually find Virgin cheaper to LHR than BA. Hmmm
I want to fly on A350 and B787 too. Was planning it for this year but obviously under the circumstances. Hopefully next year look forward to it
I just flew with Virgin Atlantic for the 1st time in my life ! A fabulous product !! Both de light & premium were delightful & very very comfortable !! Just ...the gate issues ...not sure why...both ways ,they changed my gates at the last minutes !! Almost missed my flight .And on returning the new gate was all the way to the other side ...I asked other passengers & they all agreed with me that it was easy to miss the announcements !! They told me Virgin did this ( gate changing ) to them a lot !! That's something I didn't like for sure !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
great footage
Your is Awesome! For to get the new york to london
I;'ll be on their 787 from SFO-LHR in August. This is my first time flying on Virgin Atlantic. I have flown on Virgin America.
Detailed tripreport is so much better than Brutally Honest review.
7:43 Malvani chicken curry on a Virgin flight from JFK to London?? Damn. Indian food is amazing tho :')
It's because most people fly it as a connecting flight to Mumbai or Delhi via London Heathrow
The AirTrain at Jamaica is convenient, not just for the subway connection but for the Long Island Railroad as well.
No better airline to go long haul with than VA. Fingers crossed they survive this pandemic.
do you know if universal power outlets are provided in premium economy?
Excellent trip report David
Simply aviation - keeping us entertained through this crisis
Great work
Thumbs up 👍
Crazy thing is that this technically allows one to travel from the center of Manhattan all the way to the center of London completely indoors. The power of underground transportation.
love that the content is still coming strong!
That key lime pie is an ointment?
Loved this video! I love to explore by car and film my drives.
10 days before my flight to JFK, the aircraft keeps changing from A330, 787, A350. Booking originally showed 787, now showing A350. I really hope its not an A330. Compared to the newer aircraft, the cabin looks a lot more dated despite the 2018 refresh. That IFE screen could easily be found 10+ years ago. Great review though as always!
Very good video
nice video i just love your video sooooooooooo much and nice bag you have where did you buy that because i want a bag like that
Amazing! I have always preferred Virgin Atlantic instead of British Airways!
When was this flight .??
Great
Did you catch up with Paul Lucas?
I see the South African flag 🇿🇦 on your bag!! :)
Malvani chicken it’s Goan dish costal state in India on uk bound flight quite surprising
anuj rathore I am also surprised
Indian food is very well loved in the UK..
make sure David to record the moments of the engines start with it's sound ,that's amazing :p
also if you can record all the takeoff will make the vloge nicer bro . :P
When did you take this flight, it's normally on a 787 or a350 was it during the short 787 grounding in autumn 2019
They took it some time in the past year. The top comment explains everything. You can find the exact date in the description.
November last year
Please do a dual AMS or CDG - SXM. Whos best AF or KL
Do they give a free plane model on board?
Nice
Sehr schöner Flug die 330 ist halt eben auch eines der besten Flugzeuge
Ever realized how Big Bang Theory and Indian food have become common on most international flights! Don’t care much for the former but lovvvveee the latter.
Amazing trip report you shuold try the romanian airline blue air great video
If we fly eonomy does that me an we cant carry luggage?
0:07 Liberty City ?
