    Bonjour Genki. Merci pour ce reportage très intéressant. Virgin Atlantic est une Cie British/American en partie propriété de Delta que je n'ai jamais utilisée car je ne passe pas par Londres. . Très bon niveau d'aménagement, service et nourriture de qualité.. Aterissage en douceur! C'est un point interessant pour évaluer la qualité des pilotes. Pour vous bravo pour vos prises de vue des paysages. vous avez un appareil avec un objectif de toute première qualité. Effectivement vous buvez beaucoup: attention au cholesterol !! 😉😉. Bonne continuation et au plaisir!
    .Nicole 👍🙏👏🥰🥰❤❤💕.

    There's nothing like a few pre-flight drinks and all is forgiven with the water droplets in the outside of the window, not sure if I can forgive you for the cloudy day in England though... I'll think about it 😀. Great trip review, very enjoyable 🙏👍🙂

    Flew to JFK from LHR on the Billie Holiday A330-900neo which was very comfortable in Economy due to only 2 seats next to windows. Very smooth ride and seemed fast at 6hrs. Returned on a A350-1000 which wasn’t as comfortable due to 3 seat 💺 by window. Weirdly Virgin don’t seem as free offer alcoholic drinks as much… is this a new trend?

    If you never drink outside of flights and then had those six drinks in that short time, you had to be quite inebriated. Probably feeling a little sick too.

    Flown with VA a few times for work between uk and us and their upper class is possibly the worst I’ve experienced.
    The lounge at lhr is a joke, never enough food or drinks and it’s always totally rammed with people.
    On the actual planes is fine apart from the fact your feet are angled towards the aisle and the seat is very narrow.
    My company now uses BA/AA and I must say American Airlines business and first is a much better product overall. BA is ok, planes are very tired, The 777 from ORD to LHR was really old and my screen kept glitching out.

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  9 днів тому

      Interesting. There was plenty of food and drink when I was at the VA lounge but I guess it varies by day. BA, I’ve had nothing but interesting journeys with them (in a negative way haha). AA business is pretty decent, I was surprised.

    Virgin Atlantic aren’t the brand that they once were, they like to promote themselves as being different when in reality they’re just the same as any other airline crossing the Atlantic. One other thing is that Virgin’s interiors age horribly, the seats especially.

    • @GenkisTravels

      Yeah I've seen a couple of comments talking about the interiors looking old. Their Upper Class is just okay.

    You might want to be more careful about playing back boarding music on your channel . That music would be subject to copyright and the writers and artists are entitled to some money from you playing it back on this video . UA-cam would definitely demonetise this video if they knew you included all those songs here . Just saying .

    • @GenkisTravels

    Upper class? Is this Virgin's equivalent to first class? It's terribly cramped and just goes to show how inferior VA is compared to the first class suites of Emirates and Singapore airlines. Look at how tatty and worn parts of that seat are. BA and VA are two airlines I'll always avoid travelling with.

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  13 днів тому

      It's their equivalent to Business Class.
