    That’s the weirdest pilot tannoy announcement I’ve ever heard, I think I’d be worried he’s unstable and want to get off!

    I tell you what "that gentleman gave up a good job has a story teller on Jackanory " to become a top class Captain- what a voice

    Some pilots can be very entertaining.
    On one as we were landing the pilot announced over the intercom
    Phew !! Made it.

    Great vlog Lee although to be honest seeing those horrendous queues at the airport is enough to put me off flying or going anywhere abroad at the moment. It’s good ‘ole Blighty for me this summer. That’s got to be the most entertaining witty flight announcement I have ever heard. That pilot must have been to RADA and trained into Shakespeare as that was a delight to hear that. Anyway, fabulous flight travel vlog Lee, the ever entertaining Martin waiting the other end and edited to perfection. This is what makes me hit that SUBSCRIBE button!

    Chuckled muchly at the range of facial expressions while eating your meals! Afternoon tea actually looked pretty lush!
    I adore flying, I'd live on an aeroplane if possible. Flying above the clouds always amazes me, they appear as a blanket of crispy meringue.
    Airports in general are bleugh, I find them overwhelming. First time in an airport petrified me, it was nigh on impossible to navigate as it was crowded and I couldn't see any of the signage clearly enough.

    Wow that captains speech was phenomenal, very touching. Was thinking of Booking an Economy Delight to LA but might stick with Premium.

  • @davidbaugh4754
    @davidbaugh4754 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Lee - I am not convinced that was really the pilot. I think that its a recorded message that they are using on each VS flight to JFK. It tends to get passengers to listen more carefully to safety and seat belt messages. You'll note that he didn't mention his name or even accurate data like ETA or altitude he would be flying at.

  • @butkusrules08
    @butkusrules08 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I took KLM premium to Amsterdam in July, and took Virgin Premium back from Heathrow. It was night and day different. KLM was easily 3x better. Better food, better seats,. better service. Meanwhile Virgin didnt even have running water in our "Premium Only" bathrooms. food was boderline unedible and the flight attendants were not either not knowledgible or combative. The food was an order of magnitude better on KLM. Only thing memorable about Virgin was their S&P shakers in the shape of a plane.

    My father and sister returned from far east in Japan airlines flight in the 80's. The pilot said out to the right is the greatest city on earth, London, as they approached Heathrow from the east..

    Global entry is worth its weight in gold. I’m a GB passport holder, don’t have a visa or anything. Relatively easy to get and have just renewed it for the next 5 years without needing another interview

  • @benitobueno3373

    Methinks that pilot had already taken off before he boarded and was currently on the 3rd moon from Mars

    I remember when I traveled on a virgin 747 from Gatwick to Las Vegas a couple of times back in 2005 and flying with Virgin was class,l was upstairs on the 747 premium economy and the service was great and it was a pleasure to travel with them, going on great vlog Lee many thanks 👍 Richard and Tanya from Southampton ❤ still catching up 28/08/23 now watched 506 blogs. From the Macmaster.

    I feel all major airlines and airports are overwhelmed with the amount of passengers during the recovery of Covid-19 pandemic when people can now travel more freely for fully vaccinated passengers. These challenges are across my home country Canada, USA, Uk, etc. I don’t think the airlines are not prepared for the sharp increase in travel

    • @matty6848
      @matty6848 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes true Edward. Because no one has been anywhere we’re all gagging too get away. I haven’t flown or been abroad for 5 years and desperate just too jump on a plane and take off. Even if it’s just Spain for some little two hour flight, I’m just itching to get up above the clouds and see some some sunshine and foreign road signs. Sit on hot beach with a cold beer, walk into a fan cooled Spanish bar and order some Tapas with my cold beer, or get some Greek stifado stew down me in Greece. Man I love Stifado. It’s absolutely beautiful😋

    Hey Lee! I’m falling about laughing at you and Martin aka Silver fox! Him making a point about you being late. He was very good and on his best behaviour there! Your facial expressions with the food on the plane were priceless. The Pilot what a change to have a sense of humour. I enjoyed it.
    Blimey the price to fly anywhere is shocking but to fork out what you could pay for a family weeks holiday is ridiculous. Hope the plane had secret gold tipped wings. Big hello to @thesilverfox ✋👋 nice to see you back with Lee. Take care and happy travels 🤣👍🏻

    You like your nostalgia, Lee… so when you do your aviation blogs and you see your aeroplane, you should insert a clip from the old TV show Fantasy Island, with Tattoo saying ‘Da Plane, Da Plane Boss !! ‘ 😆

  • @markphillips8019
    @markphillips8019 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to regularly fly the VS9 out and the VS4 back in Premium. After a very short while I was always being upgraded to Upper. Looks like its all gone down hill since then.

    When you're in New York City you should try a breakfast at The Square Diner, 33 Leonard St, New York, NY 10013. It must be one of the few diners left in the city based on the original converted railroad car design. Prices were reasonable too the last time I visited. It was my favourite place to eat in the city, for authentic food and feel, away from the tourist-ridden hotspots.

    @Johndeplume. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really enjoyed this, Lee.
    Great editting, and great video.
    Absolute rip-off prices for the flights, with very little benefit in return. If they're going to offer a different category of seating and service, they could at least make it distinguishable from Economy. Looked like you had marginally better leg room, and that's about it. Not worth hundreds £££ extra.
    What absolute bedlam in Heathrow! You'd think this 'plane travel was a new-fangled thing!

    in my opinion!! The sliver fox made me laugh when he thought you said virgin delight!!🤭👏 🤣glad to see him back again this is going to be fun!! don't believe he's a change man🤐🤣🤣 I like him the way he was, we see how long the sliver fox can keep this up for 🤐🤬 🤣👏 and Lee brilliant vlog well done really enjoy this✈😎🇺🇲👏 👍70k🎉👏👏😘xx

L.o.l. it did remind us of The trail of the lonesome pine, with laurel and hardy, hower the afternoon tea looked

    Would love to see a review of Norse (Norwegian), I have see a JFK return for £300 in a date this year. Plus for the price you paid, on some dates you can do TAP Portugal Business Class that even comes with a bed. I think it always comes out cheaper from Dublin or Lisbon.
