We regularly flew Virgin Atlantic Glasgow to Orlando. It used to be about 150 GBP more expensive than BA, but it flew direct so well worth the money. They had a good cabin service and we loved the 747 fleet - Ruby Tuesday and Jersey Girl being our favs. Post covid and with increased prices we will have to source another carrier
They need to add more routes from Manchester. This being due to the fact that Heathrow is over crowded and as someone who lives in Manchester Id love to see direct flights to Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Miami from our fantstic airport. Manchester is the only airport in the UK besides Heathrow with two runways....
I'm about to jump on one of the A330 fleet MAN-ATL this weekend ❤ We've flown in the 330 with Virgin a few times and were lucky to get a trip in a 74' before their retirement which ticked off a bucket list item! Looking forward to seeing the newer models on the MAN routes..
Flew the A340 to india and back a few years ago - what a lovely aircraft to fly on, OK so it was business class but nevertheless it still remains probably my favourite aircraft to fly on.
Flew the 747s for a number of years, remember the good old 747-200s they used, shame Virgin have since retired the jumbos, i do have a window cut from Ladybird, One of the 747s i flew on to Orlando proudly on my wall
My experience with VA to London is that they are more expensive and offer a lower grade of service than BA so there doesn't seem much point to flying them. Their First Class is lesser quality and more dear than BA's Biz for instance
Virgin doesn’t have a First class. They only have a Business class dubbed Upper Class, and it is definitively superior to BA’s Club World. BA’s First and Club Suites are better, however.
@@jmWhyMe No Virgin has never had F. You just bought classic Branson marketing hype. It's always been marketed a "Upper class" It was business class and charged as such.
their B747-400 & A340-600 HGW was the epitome of Virgin Atlantic success, more so than any other jet in their fleet . . . wonder Virgin Atlantic doesn't offer first class across their full service flight operations . . .
In answer to why we don’t have first class at Virgin Atlantic. Upperclass was always designed as a business class product with 1st class enhancements such as a social space on every aircraft whether that be a Bar, The Loft or The Booth. (I should point out whilst others have bars on their aircraft it’s not on every aircraft). We also have The Wing at LHR and our Clubhouses which have a more unique twist on a pre-departure lounge. Hope this gives some insight 😊
Your off buddy they flew A340-300s first not 600’s for 23 years..there 600’s had a 12 year average life they also had 6 aa320’s 1 a321 and a 767 fyi if your going to try and educate..,
@@afcgeo882 No you don't understand how this is working. VA has very few flights that are not going to the US and feeding the DL network and giving DL LHR slots. That's why they paid the money for it. DL uses AF or KLM for feeder if they need it outside of the US, Not VA. they really don't have much of network not going the US. They are a tiny little carrier compared to DL

@@ameerali.ouarda… Nah they’re all a means to an end😉😉
Say….are you Mickey Mouse? Goofy? When you source another airline….do you take bids?

Indeed. That would be good.
I know you live their but i's a very low margin market. Wouldn't be a smart decision.

I love there 787 and A350-1000
*their
We flew their A350/1000 last year, awesome plane😁😁
The A330/300 was certainly a bit “worn” by comparison..
I have flown on there 747-400 from Gatwick to Orlando.
I Have Experinence Virgin Atantic A340 B747 B787-And Love A330-900 And A350-1000 Love Thouse Air Craft.Thanks For Great Info

@@johniii8147 I paid First Class fares booked through Delta. Upper Class certainly wasn't worth the money!
I don’t know anything cool to comment :(
This is a new era for Virgin Atlantic. Cool, he he. Sir Richard is not amused.

Hopefully they add a few more Airbus
I did see their ad for a male flight attendant in a dress on their plane. The airline for Drag Shows in the sky now.
Thank god they get some colors in their cabin, no more boring stupid Old people and their coffin.

They are basically a division of DL airlines these days
Delta is the secondary owner, still.
@@afcgeo882 They own 49% and calling the network shots. Basically they are feeder carrier for DL into to LHR
@@johniii8147 The opposite. VS is no feeder. All they do is long distance. Delta is who feeds into the VS network.

wow I am first here today
god dangit
omg good job
So did you achieve anything or get an award by being first?
@@paraagshah4153 So do you have anything better to do than saying that?
I was first a few years ago.
It changed my life from that moment on.
I hope that they don’t come back to Gatwick, Gatwick are doing a lot better without them with a lot more new airlines
Poor Mans BA...
BA is better
i flew om their A330 to barbados. awful tv, dirty plane and very old cabin. only good side was the pretty cabin crew
