Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.
It’s great to see the crew actually telling people about the camera feature and almost encouraging it’s use!
Agree
Ahhhh Rolls Royce Engines...Beautiful Sound!
I Think The Clubhouse Is The Best Business Class Lounge In Europe.Great Work
What a great video! Thanks for this excellent trip report!
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting!
Amazing video Emil!
Yes!!! This was an amazing video!! Please do more business or first class videos if you can!!
Enjoyed this vlog!
Great vid keep the great content
Thank you so much for sharing your Trip Report. You are getting better n better at this thanks.Had the biggest laught at your choice of comedy love that show addicted LOL.
Thank you for posting. Very helpful!
I see Virgin cut services big time. I flew upper class from LAX to London on their 747-400 at the time. We had a 4 course meal services and the stand up bar with on the plane with tea sandwiches and snacks. Also before arrival we had a full hot breakfast. It is a shame all airlines cut services but still charge so much. Great Video. Rickey LAX
That's the only way to survive for airlines these days. Customers only look at the cheapest fares, nothing else.
What a great film. Found this as we are flying on the same plane in UC. Great to know what to expect. Now even more excited about the trip. Thank you.
Nice takeoff view of LHR, good camera work
I haven't flown on VA A350 yet but plan to soon. I have flown A330 once and 787 five times. I was blown away by the FA's and food eve4y 5 time. Can't fault their Clubhouse either. Brilliant video
one of my favorite youtubers, flying in one of my favorite products, on one of my favorite planes :)
Good video. Flying on aa in a few weeks out of the country. Hope it is a good flight!

Greetings from Helsinki ❄️ Finland
Hi. Nice Tripreport. Thx. Daniel
Flown virgin Atlantic premium class in 2009 and looking forward to upper class to New York in mid July can’t wait
Okay first, Hangover great choice of movie selection. Second, I agree with you, on a flight that long alcohol is key especially in First. I have flown Virgin twice and each time I was very impressed. Seems Virgin really knows how to do transportation be it airlines, cruise ships or trains, ie. Florida Brightline. Super review and I look forward to your BA review. I flew BA from San Jose CA to London shortly after the began that service and it was spectacular. Thanks for the review.
Oh yeah, their alcoholic selection was perfect. I am trying out their cruises for the first time in July. And for me personally I am a celebrity cruise guy so I have very mixed expectations coming in!
Love the Loo with a view :)
Flew to London on Feb 22 in Virgin Upper Class. I’ve always taken the 11:00pm flight. Loved it as usual.
Curious, did they offer pjs for the overnight flight?
@@mindsetmatterswithrida2725 yes, they do on that flight.
Hope you got the A350 as we ended up on an old A330 with tired Upper Class suites. They've not been running the A350 on the 11.00 pm flight since March 21st ....
I haven’t flown VA but i want to. Im thinking to fly this route shortly. Nice video
No way this is the first carrier to introduce and inflight bar. Ummmm Pan Am 747’s?! Cmon man.
Another great review! I love flying Virgin and their lounges at both LHR and JFK are fantastic. I do miss the cocktail bar on their old A346s though.
In general I miss their A346, was a Wonderful Aircraft for sure! I’m based at ZRH so we still have some A340 based here 😂✈️
I love how you say the roof top lounge is the biggest highlight of the club and there is no one else up there
Sad to see the barbershop at the Clubhouse gone, used to rely on that every trip :)
9:00 Sounds sooo good
RR Trent sound 👌
Superb 👌 ❤Virgin Atlantic 👌 😊Flight ✈️ 👌 👏 👍 😀 😊
A350 and 787 mood lightings >>>>
Such a fun time, thanks for joining me!
Thanks for helping me find the fare !
You so cute. Watch your videos all time. Rickey from Los Angeles. LAX
Be going to JFK in September on Virgin A350-1000 and fly back from Orlando too can't wait. Was changed last year when going Los Angeles last year to B787-9
Very interesting video🥰 L162
An enjoyable and high quality video. Which suction mount did you use for your GoPro?
Even from my economy experiences, Virgin seems to be a leading competitor on the TATL market. But with my upcoming pond crossings on DL next month I'm curious to see how it all stacks up.
Will you be posting the Lufthansa 747-8 too? I saw a clip of it before your Lufthansa A320 video.
I like how passengers can continue watching video content even during flight announcements. I don't think I've ever seen that on any flight.
I'm taking Virgin Atlantic on this route (LHR-JFK) in July. Currently, it's scheduled on an A350-1000. I'm really hoping that they don't change it. I purposely booked a flight on their ATL-LHR route a few years back to get an experience on an A340 before they all retired, but they changed it to an A330 last second.
You might wanna be checking constantly, booked a flight last month to travel in the summer, it was the 330-neo from JFK to LHR. Right now, they have not only changed the flight, they have messed up my seating, and I am travelling with my family..smh
Flew this exact route return 2 weeks ago. I carefully selected flights showing the new suites on the A350 and was gutted that both aircraft got downgraded to a 787 on the way out and an old A330 on the way back with the old seats. The way out was OK but the flight back wasn't great as we were stuck with centre row seats that bounced every time cabin crew walked up and down the cabin = no rest. Such a shame as it was our first holiday in 3 years and the crew were great but we felt a bit cheated...
16:24 There's 3 screens with Family Guy haha
❤❤❤
Your a cool guy
unique announcement from the pilot, thanking the cabin crew for their efforts during the flight......
It’s the first time I’ve heard a captain do anything like this! Great touch from him
I haven't traveled by plane in a long time but I would love to travel on Virgin Atlantic someday I feel like I was right there with you but I sure hope that the food they serve is good
i will be flying upper class for 1st time in june to jfk
Wow, that Emirates thing is still at the Heathrow roundabout.
Flew this exact route return 2 weeks ago. I had been saving up miles for 3 years for both my wife and I. I carefully selected flights showing the new suites on the A350 and was gutted that both aircraft got downgraded to a 787 on the way out and an old A330 on the way back with the old seats. The way out was OK but the flight back wasn't great as we were stuck with centre row seats that bounced every time cabin crew walked up and down the cabin = no rest. Such a shame as it was our first holiday in 3 years and the crew were great but we felt a bit cheated...
If you're on a night flight, the old A330s UC seats are so narrow, you'd probably be comfier trying to sleep in Premium.
@@petergilderdale yep, I made the booking based on the listed aircraft was an A350. VA switched it out for an old A330
Business looks the best way to travel. 3 thousand pound more than premium is quite a jump. Would like to do it one day
Question, when you record with your iPhone 14 pro what settings or what quality do you record in?
Any chance you ever divulge the prices for these type cabins when you travel?? Miles, etc?? Be nice to know as much as everything else.
I recent just got premium class tickets for £650 per person and upgraded one way to upper for 30,000 points and £350 cash that’s LHR - JFK
We're flying VA upper class ATL-LHR in August. Question: Do they weigh the luggage and do they check size by putting suitcases into a sizer at the gate? I think I'm fine but I get nervous that it might go over a couple of ounces. I think the private Upper Class check in area is so nice (in London).
You can have 2 70 lb bags..
Did you see if premium economy has a little lounge seating area like upper class does? I heard they did. I will be flying with them in premium economy this month. SFO-LHR.
Proactive pilot informing his passengers of the tail cam, and, instructions on how to use it.
I'm new to your channel, this video clip is very good. So, you've a new subscriber.
¡buen viaje!
Do you think that VA will take A350s or 787s with the new business class seats from the A330NEO?
Do you recommend the seat at the very back? I’m flying soon and upper class is less than half full and seated to the front.
So, as a first timer on the Max 8, what was your impression of the aircraft?
Which seats would be best for us to choose. There are three of us flying to Orlando next April upper and would like to sit together?
A very random observation, but, the male server, the sweater that he was wearing...was that part of the Virgin uniform? The gentlemen wore suit's when I flew Upper Class last month.
It seems like all the "2" together seats are all angled away from each other. Am I seeing that correct that there are no actually 2 seats together where one can talk to the other?
Great video, How much was the ticket?
This was booked as part of a multi-city round TATL flight, totaling at 2,000 Euros for the entire trip in business.
I don't think that this not closing door from your suite is a problem. What matters is the space itself and the food. I think Virgin crews always do their very best during a flight so that a nice service is no problem.
Flew with them to Seattle. Clubhouse is really great. The crew were equally good and the food on our flight was excellent. Cannot fault Virgin and I have flown with them in all their classes. Next is VA to Tampa in the new Neo and yes, Upper Class, looking forward to that one
Million miler tip … ALWAYS carry ear plugs with you … to drown out little ones fussiness 😉👍🏻
What happened to the sound at 25:40?
Outside of the seat pod itself, it seems like a pale shadow of their 747 configuration. Lots fewer amenities.
Virgin Atlantic looks amazing! Instead of Alaska buying out Virgin America, I think maybe it would have been better if Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America merged and they just called it” Virgin Airlines, ha!
virgin still sell this as a 4 course restaurant quality meal. Is the bread roll a course?
The a330 neo has upper class with suites
Back in the 70s bar lounge areas were on the aircraft, so its not a Virgin innovation.
in 350 the engine RR is quite noisy !
They removed those services due to covid so now they should bring them back 😢 by September preferably.
I flew Virgin premium class and it was NOT good. Cheap headphones that fell apart each time, half the trip in vertical economy class seats (not a cubicle), lost baggage with no Virgin Airline personnel to even complain to, lounge is only nice in London...nowhere else. I could go on but I don't want to think about it anymore.
British are rich, can't pay for business class?
If we were all billionaires, we could fly first class, unfortunately most of us are regular people who will have to fly coach
There's ways of doing it without being loaded!! I have a Virgin credit card, with a companion card for my wife, and we have done all our monthly spending on it for the past 4 years (I mean ALL our spending aside from mortgage and utility bills). I booked in November when VA had a special deal (50% reduced airmiles) and we went to NYC return for the cost of economy plus 95,000 miles. Just make sure you pay down the credit card in FULL each month. No need to be a millionaire, let alone a billionaire!!
Use points.
Get the virgin card. Use it for food, gas etc. Pay it off.
Billionaires don't fly commercial, they use private jets
Awful layout, virgin have just moved me onto this product, not happy!
My 8th flight in Virgin Upper class is coming up, I was hoping for the new layout, but looks like it will be this plane again!
I flew with Virgin from LHR -> LAX. About an hour before the descent, they gave out scones with jam and clotted cream. The American's didn't know what to make of it.
Need to check your facts at the beginning. VS was not the first with in-flight bars. A number of carriers introduced them at the start of the wide body era. Pan Am and Braniff used the 747 small upper deck as first class lounges. American 747s had piano bars for both first and coach. Continental DC-10s had first class lounges and dining areas while coach got a pub with standup bar and Pong video games.
I flew VS Upper Class pre-pandemic SFO-LHR-SFO on a 789. While sit-down food service in the Clubhouses at both SFO and LHR was tasty, I wasn't impressed with the onboard experience. Admittedly the 789 had the previous generation seat but I still found it unworthy of the hype. IFE was broken on both legs. Tried to order a cocktail from the menu but the FA didn't know what it was until I pointed to it on the card. Food was meh and portions small. Bedding too heavy and sweat inducing. During the outbound redeye, the bar was taken over by non-revs from premium economy who talked loudly with the crew for much of the flight. On the return, the crew used the space for staging and storage. I vowed never again. I find UA Polaris higher quality and more consistent, particularly with the 77W and the SFO Polaris Lounge.
