Hi there,
I'm flying on 10th Jan, Economy LGW to MCO, and it's only my second time with Virgin. First time was in 1995 on the same route. I rarely fly!
I have a question concerning the in-flight entertainment systems - it looks like i'll get the NOVA system, and it does seem like a bit of a raw deal compared to the other systems Virgin operate. Looking at the line-up, I'm positive I had better choice even back in '94 - I'm sure I remember 3 or 4 TV channels in addition to the movies. I've no idea what the system was though (anyone?)
So to the people who've experienced NOVA - is it any good? Or is it as I suspect, the bottom end of the scale? Also, I'm flying back in Premium Economy, could anyone tell me if the screens are any bigger?
I must admit that I am thankful for what I'll be getting compared to BA and the like, so please don't think I'm being ungrateful - and my primary reason for going with Virgin this time is my experience 8 years ago, which was superb.
Also - my compliments on the site - it's great! Any chance though of something like an FAQ for newbies like me?
Thanks everyone, and happy christmas.
Steve
