Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation travel trip reports and stunning footage views ! .. and another beautiful lovely piece of work and thanks again Lucas ! .. take care and stay safe and have a wonderful blessed weekend days ahead ! ..
I think you got the best channel so far you explain everything in detail. If i was traveling spend most of my time looking out the window. No everything you see daily. Keep us inform .👍👍👍
Thanks a lot, Mick :) The pre-landing snack was just a joke... I love the English Tea service on planes... but it has to be more complete... I asked for a second scone, as I was still hungry, and the answer was "no, just 1 per passenger". In business class!!!
Muchas gracias! No se si me expliqué del todo bien. Obviamente si comparas la clase turista con la clase business en este vuelo, la clase business es mucho mejor. Pero si comparas las clase turista con la clase turista de otras aerolíneas en esta ruta o similar, la clase turista de Virgin Atlantic está por encima de la media. Sin embargo, si hacemos lo mismo con la clase business, las demás aerolíneas ofrecen un producto mejor. Especialmente en lo que se refiere al servicio. Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo! :)
Yes I would agree with you, the food service was very long and the menu did not look the best, but overall Virgin Atlantic are still one of the best airlines to fly with, I certainly put them in the top 5 of airlines, another great vlog, really enjoyed it 👍✈️
Hi Lucas. It's a super airline.✈?A pity about the food and service. My heart went out to you as anyone paying extra would expect to get that service 😢. The only thing you received was more comfortable seating.I am really excited to see the difference when you take the economy class on that airline ✈✈✈❤Thankyou for sharing your experience. Have a great weekend 🎉❤xx
Now my favourite video is comming now is best flight i waiting for this video now lets see that video we love you all ways you make best video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thanks for a great video , I have flown this trip many times , Upper Class each time , Lou nge is excellent , staff very nice , flights have been great and food and drink no complaints at all , the only ( slight ) complaint is that the seats do seem a bit too restricting , apart from that all good , really enjoyed your video .
Muchas gracias :) Me alegra que te haya gustado! El próximo sábado tendremos el último Trip Report en un Boeing 757 de Jet2 (acaban de retirar el último de la flota esta semana...).
Enjoyed the Virgin Atlantic ✈️ flight. Loved the business class cubicle you had , Lucas. To me the food looked good but I don’t know about the spacing out of the different courses. I would definitely fly VA❤😊
Hola,mi marido y yo vemos tus vídeos y nis encantan y éste en particular pues hemos descubierto que aveces en turista el servicio está mejor que en business, nosotros hace muchos años que no viajamos en avión y nos estamos animando contigo gracias por compartirlo.

I heard someone say Virgin Economy was better than business class, hopefully they step it up a bit. Excellent video as always. I'm flying on the Lufthansa Queen tomorrow, so excited!
Thanks mate :) That's exactly my opinion: Virgin Atlantic has a better economy class than busines class. With this I don't mean that flying economy class is better than flying business in Virgin Atlantic, but that the economy class is a better one that the average on long-haul, but the business class is worse than the average. Wish you an amazing flight!! Enjoy!! :))
You have explained your feelings perfectly! Many European airlines's business classes have become premium economies in both service and catering. This state of affairs is disheartening. The only plus is the comfort of lying down. Who knows how long that will last?
Thanks a lot! :) Well, I guess the 180º seats have to remain, as they are the only real reason why passengers are paying for the business class tickets...
I think you’re referring to U.S. carriers however even they have improved recently. A.F. is from my experience the best followed by Swiss (Lufthansa owned)
I remember Heathrow from 198 the first time I landed here. It was a nice airport even then. One could watch the plans from the terrace of the Queens Building. I like the afternoon tea they serve on all Classes on Virgin even economy and Premium. British don't offer this in economy or Premium / Traveller Plus. However one would think they would also offer the tea sandwiches in Business.
It bends exactly at the moment that the wing starts to create the lift by increasing the angle of attack. At that moment the pressure over the wing becomes much lower than the one under the wing, creating a suction effect that bends the wing upwards.
Bien video, aunque no hay muchos paisajes impresionantes para ver. El catering me ha parecido lamentable los tiempos entre comidas demasiado largos, a mí personalmente entre esos intervalos ya habría perdido las ganas de comer. Un saludo y buen finde
Muchas gracias :) Totalmente. Esas 2h30min para terminal de servir 3 platos fue de lo más esperpéntico que he visto en todos estos años haciendo vídeos. El sábado que viene nos toca volar por última vez en el Boeing 757 de Jet2! Feliz semana! :)
Well, I think there are better planes than the A330Neo. But for sure is agreat plane. Silent and with a perfect cabin layout. The cabin in Virgin Atlantic is great.
Despite what the cabin crew said just before arriving to the stand in JFK, bus boarding/disembark is extremely common in Virgin Atlantic at JFK. They simply have too many flights in summer and they can't be using all of the jetbridge. Every day they are using bus boarding for 2-3 flights. I don't know why she said such a stupid comment... =/
@@OnBoardHD I thought at most Australian, Canadian and American airports they only reserve the remote stands for light aircraft as it's seen as a form of efficiency.
Just curious, they had you use an outdoor stair ramp? Was it bc no gateways were available? That's a lot stairs to climb if one has mobility issues. Thanks in advance.
A passenger that has mobility issues should state it when booking the ticket or when doing the check-in. That way they will be assisted and they will usually disembark though the other side of the plane into a vehicle ready to transport them without any kind of stairs to the terminal.
This airline announced that it would operate connecting England to Brazil a few years ago. We don't know why, the company stopped operating in our country. We were sad.
I already give LIKE before watching the video you post because every time I like what I see and it is of high quality. Do you film with a phone or do you have a video camera? Greetings from Romania!!
I really love Virgin Atlantic and one time our American flight got departed and so we took virgin atlantic from LHR✈️ MIA It was a 9hr flight from LHR And was a 787 drramliner
Great video, thanks. But it does rather emphasise why I’m really not sure I’d go for Virgin Upper Class. The thought of spending 7 hours or more in a ‘pod’ doesn’t appeal to me. And what about if you’re travelling with a partner or spouse? It makes conversation during the flight very difficult unless you’re prepared to spend it in an aisle seat (which I’m not - viewing the outside is important to me). Much prefer Premium Economy and, judging by the Upper Class catering (poor offering IMHO), I can’t imagine the PE offering would be much different.
Thanks! Aboslutely. I understand your point. The cabin and the seat are very nice... but the onboard service is really poor when we compare it to what the competence offers on transatlantic flights...
Yikes that service was very poor ! I have never understood Virgins on-board bar area nobody ever seems to use it and the crew use it as a galley and pile rubbish and pots there, you get more in economy for afternoon tea! Emirates and Qatars on-board bars are 100 x better. Excellent report as always
While the cabin and the seat were great, the service was really below the average. Especially when we take into account that this is their most important route and the high competence on it...
Nice report as always Sir, flew VA last year abide in Economy and flew out to New York going was on the A350k and return on the A330 NEO, and I found aircraft wise the A330 was a nicer aircraft, was quieter and more roomy than the 350, I guess new designee of aircraft isn't always better, the actual interior cabin on the 330 look more modern than the sterile A350.
I didn't fly on the VA A350 so far (planning to do it soon). The A330Neo is a really nice planer for long-haul. The A330ceo was great, but the A330Neo is even better. Mainly because of how silent it is. The 2-4-2 cabin is perfect in long-haul in economy class.
The transatlantic route is extremely busy and competitive, but they managed to make a reputation for themselves and are one of the most sought after airlines. Flying to the Far East uses up more fuel, more crew, longer flight times, etc and they wanted to avoid Russian airspace for safety and cost reasons.
Muy buena experiencia, gracias por compartir, una pregunta que no viene al caso; A visto Ud. alguna nave o UFO en sis viajes??, me gustaria saber...Saludos y disculpe..
Awesome Vlog as usual... As you rightly pointed out Pathetic service by VIRGIN...definitely not a good choice for Biz class... not worth the money....2.30 hrs to serve meals is horrendous....and no second meal....This is where Singapore airlines beats all of these European ones... lastly that view of long island was spectacular...keep it rocking...
To be honest, I didn't fly business long-haul that much to be able to compare, but for what I've seen in other trip reports, this Virgin Atlantic service is really below average. And the thing is that apparently, it's the normal thing on this airline... other reports say basically the same or similar opinions... =(
Virgin Atlantic has a better economy class than busines class. With this I don't mean that flying economy class is better than flying business in Virgin Atlantic, but that the economy class is a better one that the average on long-haul, but the business class is worse than the average.
I have had limited experience flying with Virgin - a flight from LHR to Delhi, well over two decades ago. The flight was amazing and loved the option of a burger, midflight? But I suspect that Virgin suffers from being a more about the hype? Their marketing has always been top tier and in many cases they deliver on the marketing expectations. But like everything else, it’s a function of the crew how they interact and their compatibility ? Food did NOT look great and TBH the cabin looked worn? Cheers 🥂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree with you, Virgin Atlantic has the outside image of a super-premium airline... and they are really good in economy class, as I said in the video, but the service in business class (Upper class) was really below average. I will fly again with VA in the future... but it will be in economy class.
Felicidades, excelente video, comparto tus opiniones, el avión es hermoso, pero si debería ser de mejor calidad el servicio en esta clase bye saludos y magnífico año 2025
Virgin, seguro lo sabes su dueño es Richard Brandon, y es un hombre al que he seguido tengo sus libros y es un fiel de las Leyendas del verdadero Rock,, Beatles, Rolings, Queen, Led Zep, y muchos mas así inicio el su carrera de vida ,, mi época mi música, excelente persona..suerte, seguimos volando.
I had a flight booked on the VA A350 at the end of 2025... but I had to cancell it for work reasons... I hope I will be able to rebooked it again soon. It will be in economy class 100% :))
In this case I don't have any personal experience, but by your report and others that I've seen .Virgin is not delivering what people expect by their marketing image.It's the third report that I've seen that maybe you three are unlucky.The same about the lounge area in the cabin. There's nobody to attend passengers there and the crew uses it like a space to store things on the seats, it's not well organized
No budy say is bad and you are the one you talk this so your wörts are not nice and every budy like this but is never bad you no i m not kidding but is really nice aircraft and best flight if hear bad wörts from that flight i donte like it
Exactly, Virgin has an image that doesn't match with what you get onboard in the Upper Class. That's why I say that the economy class is better than the business class if we compare it with the competence...
Virgin are a shocking airline, Cabin crew are always slow and very unresponsive especially on night flights, I've always avoided them since they left us to fend for ourselves for nearly 9 hours on the way back from Vegas...
That was the feeling I had on this flight, particularly during the meal service. They were desperatelly slow. I've never seen such a slow pace to give the food to the passengers in business class. By the time we were starting the first course, all economy class was already finishing the full meal.
You didn't understand the point. I'm not comparing the clases within Virgin Atlantic. I'm saying that the VA economy class is better than the average of other airlines on this or similar routes. While the business class one is below the average.
Service looks disappointing, esp. on their most premium route. I have flown VA Upper Class a couple of times from LHR to DEL. Although they do not use their newer hardware on that route, the service and the food have been exceptional, to say the least.
Exactly. That's another point... this is the most important route for them and one of the routes with more competence in the World... If this is the best they can offer in business class... pfff
Hola quisiera que hagas un super-mega video con estos vuelos: Bariloche a buenos Aires ezeiza(ARG1921) American airlines vuelo 996 a Dallas Fort worth Dallas Fort worth a Tokio Narita American airlines. Puedes hacerlo?
Virgin Atlatic deja bastante qué deseas en su business class En tu vuelo de JKL a Londres te atendieron mucho mejor que en el vuelo de regreso En mi opinión deseas debiste subir de clase tanto creo a premium economy debió haber sido suficiente pero tú cómo sabrías que en business no sería el mejor servicio verdad Saludos desde México
That second service offering is shocking for business class. As if there was no sandwich or anything savoury!? 2 pots of Jam seems a waste too. It looks like Virgin have gone downhill with the onboard catering side of things !

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Another great video 👏 but I was surprised by the length you waited for your meals and the presentation wasn’t what I would expect in upper class 👏
Thanks so much! That's why I say that I will travel again with Virgin Atlantic, but not in business class.
Glad that you liked the video! :)

I like the A330-900neo very nice airplane. Tasty food & drinks. I enjoyed this trip report video. I like the take off. 2 years 4 months airplane.
The plane itself and the cabin is great. It's the onboard service was really makes the experience worse than in other airlines.

It's interesting to see how the wing slowly bends upwards during takeoff as soon as there is enough lift to support the plane.
It bends exactly at the moment that the wing starts to create the lift by increasing the angle of attack. At that moment the pressure over the wing becomes much lower than the one under the wing, creating a suction effect that bends the wing upwards.
10:12 Nice view of Windsor Castle.

An amazing video as always, But the food offerings were underwhelming to say the least.
Thanks! I agree. The food service was below average.
Rhodda's Cornish clotted cream of course. Served in my Dubai hotel and with afternoon tea on my Emirates flight back to the UK. Kernow bys Vikken.

@OnBoardHD Hi, may I ask how do you make this animation 0:21? Thank you
Virgin Atlantic seems to currently mainly operate transatlantic routes. In the past, it seemed like they also operated to places like Tokyo...
The transatlantic route is extremely busy and competitive, but they managed to make a reputation for themselves and are one of the most sought after airlines. Flying to the Far East uses up more fuel, more crew, longer flight times, etc and they wanted to avoid Russian airspace for safety and cost reasons.
Their main business are the UK-USA routes. Also they fly quite a lot to the "english caribbean". India remains also an important market.
Welcome back… hope to see more in 2025!
Thanks! Of course! :)
Muy buena experiencia, gracias por compartir, una pregunta que no viene al caso; A visto Ud. alguna nave o UFO en sis viajes??, me gustaria saber...Saludos y disculpe..

No, nunca he visto nada.
The second service was a joke! How dare you, Virgin Atlantic!😢😢😢😢
No only a joke, but a very bad joke... they call it upper class. LOL
Any chance of a jet2 737-300 from Leeds before they retire in December
I will try, yes.
Next saturday will be Jet2 b757 ✈️
@ Was this the final flight to/from Geneva

Nice!
thank you :)
I'm quickly realizing how bogus planespotting is without the 747.
=/
I think VS is a better abbreviation for Virgin Atlantic than VA because VS is their IATA code, and it could get confused with Virgin Australia
I think VA is much more clear. Almost nobody knows the IATA code of airlines.
SO in your opinion was it a good flight or not 🤔
As I have never flown virgin but by the looks not a good one 🤔
Virgin Atlantic has a better economy class than busines class. With this I don't mean that flying economy class is better than flying business in Virgin Atlantic, but that the economy class is a better one that the average on long-haul, but the business class is worse than the average.
The A 330-900 Neo is a wonderful plane. But food service on board in business class taking 2.30 h for the whole thing is awfull!!
The cabin and the plane are great. The service not.
Nice video
Thanks :)
Another amazing trip report!!! Cant wait!. Can you fly the thai airways 787 if you can :) Thanks!
Hope you will enjoy it! In about one hour we'll have the Premiere!
You have to try a business class of Air Astana.
It's on the wish list :)
When are you visiting Africa and Australia and New Zealand
We'll see... hopefully this year! :)
I have had limited experience flying with Virgin - a flight from LHR to Delhi, well over two decades ago.
The flight was amazing and loved the option of a burger, midflight?
But I suspect that Virgin suffers from being a more about the hype? Their marketing has always been top tier and in many cases they deliver on the marketing expectations.
But like everything else, it’s a function of the crew how they interact and their compatibility ?
Food did NOT look great and TBH the cabin looked worn?
Cheers 🥂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I agree with you, Virgin Atlantic has the outside image of a super-premium airline... and they are really good in economy class, as I said in the video, but the service in business class (Upper class) was really below average.
I will fly again with VA in the future... but it will be in economy class.
Felicidades, excelente video, comparto tus opiniones, el avión es hermoso, pero si debería ser de mejor calidad el servicio en esta clase bye saludos y magnífico año 2025
Muchas gracias! Un placer que te haya gustado!
Virgin, seguro lo sabes su dueño es Richard Brandon, y es un hombre al que he seguido tengo sus libros y es un fiel de las Leyendas del verdadero Rock,, Beatles, Rolings, Queen, Led Zep, y muchos mas así inicio el su carrera de vida ,, mi época mi música, excelente persona..suerte, seguimos volando.
Thanks👍
glad you liked it :)
This is the a330 I went on from Tampa to London, I have to say I prefer it to the VA a350
I had a flight booked on the VA A350 at the end of 2025... but I had to cancell it for work reasons... I hope I will be able to rebooked it again soon. It will be in economy class 100% :))
Emirates A350 ? when ?
Hopefully very soon!! :))
The 3rd Best plane In the world
We'll see how you like it! :D
In this case I don't have any personal experience, but by your report and others that I've seen .Virgin is not delivering what people expect by their marketing image.It's the third report that I've seen that maybe you three are unlucky.The same about the lounge area in the cabin. There's nobody to attend passengers there and the crew uses it like a space to store things on the seats, it's not well organized
No budy say is bad and you are the one you talk this so your wörts are not nice and every budy like this but is never bad you no i m not kidding but is really nice aircraft and best flight if hear bad wörts from that flight i donte like it
Exactly, Virgin has an image that doesn't match with what you get onboard in the Upper Class. That's why I say that the economy class is better than the business class if we compare it with the competence...
What ?@sirojensivasubramaniam8951
@sirojensivasubramaniam8951😂😂That was a comedy read
Virgin are a shocking airline, Cabin crew are always slow and very unresponsive especially on night flights, I've always avoided them since they left us to fend for ourselves for nearly 9 hours on the way back from Vegas...
That was the feeling I had on this flight, particularly during the meal service. They were desperatelly slow. I've never seen such a slow pace to give the food to the passengers in business class. By the time we were starting the first course, all economy class was already finishing the full meal.
The comparison between business and economy class should be done knowing the fare difference. Then one might be more or less disappointed.
You didn't understand the point.
I'm not comparing the clases within Virgin Atlantic. I'm saying that the VA economy class is better than the average of other airlines on this or similar routes. While the business class one is below the average.
VS is their code, not VA. VA is for Virgin Australia.
I don't use codes when talking about airlines. 99% of people would not understad it.
Doesn't make we want to rush out and book a Virgin Upper Class fare!
Definitely not. As I said on the video, I will fly for sure again with them, but in economy, not in business class.
Service looks disappointing, esp. on their most premium route. I have flown VA Upper Class a couple of times from LHR to DEL. Although they do not use their newer hardware on that route, the service and the food have been exceptional, to say the least.
Exactly. That's another point... this is the most important route for them and one of the routes with more competence in the World... If this is the best they can offer in business class... pfff
Hola quisiera que hagas un super-mega video con estos vuelos:
Bariloche a buenos Aires ezeiza(ARG1921)
American airlines vuelo 996 a Dallas Fort worth
Dallas Fort worth a Tokio Narita American airlines.
Puedes hacerlo?
Looks like JFK needs to expand its airport, demand seems very high! Don't think I've ever seen a bus from a long-haul flight in a 1st world country.
JFK is being completely refubished and they are building new terminals. They should be finished for 2026.
@@OnBoardHD Nice. It's about time tbh, it looks quite old and shabby compared to other international airports.
@@cun7us absolutely
Lo llevan en autobus?, siendo clase de negocios. Como es eso?. Si esta lloviendo me mojo
Pues supongo que si llueve, alguna gota de llevarás encima, sí :D
@OnBoardHD en Lufthansa y Air France lo llevan en carro y es un ingreso exclusivo para el viajero. Tanto que alagan está aerolínea inglesa

Virgin Atlatic deja bastante qué deseas en su business class
En tu vuelo de JKL a Londres te atendieron mucho mejor que en el vuelo de regreso
En mi opinión deseas debiste subir de clase tanto creo a premium economy debió haber sido suficiente pero tú cómo sabrías que en business no sería el mejor servicio verdad
Saludos desde México
Deja mucho que desear en la parte del servicio a bordo de su business class, diría yo :)
Feliz semana!
Top
thank you :)
Llevas razon 2h30 min,en la duración de la comida es excesivo.
Más que excesivo diría yo... =/
That second service offering is shocking for business class. As if there was no sandwich or anything savoury!? 2 pots of Jam seems a waste too. It looks like Virgin have gone downhill with the onboard catering side of things !
That's aboslutely true. The prelanding meal was a joke.
Hola Lucas gran vídeo gracias por compartir.
Saludos desde Argentina Buenos Aires Sudamérica buen fin de semana para todos! ❤🇦🇷👍
Muchas gracias!!
Feliz semana! :)
Well the meal was not business class rather premium class
Exactly. That's the point.
