Well! What a lovely surprise, we booked the Thomas Cook flights after failing to find a Virgin flight that would meet our budget, previously we have paid around £850 for PE, having travelled with Virgin for the last 15 Atlantic crossings to MCO. With TCX we paid £825 each for PE return. The aircraft, seating, meals were certainly as good , if not better than the PE we have previously enjoyed with Virgin. Bearing in mind that for the corresponding days we flew the Virgin PE fare was £400 more each! The inflight film choice was more limited, but I found time to watch 3 current films. Inflight drinks service was excellent as was the James Martin meal choices, also, a lovely Devon ice cream instead of the horrible Skinny Cow choices. Afternoon tea before landing , again fresh and tasty. No complaints. So! Virgin what are you going to do to tempt me back? I have just looked at 2017 April/May and Thomas Cook is £810, Virgin £1900 for PE !!! ? This is for the same dates. No contest. It will be Thomas Cook again. Sorry Virgin, but you just cannot match on price, quality and service.
Our return trip in PE on May 19th was equally as good on service, timing and overal experience.
