recent travel with Virgin Atlantic
Posted: 29 Jun 2011, 11:23Hi, Just thought I'd jot down a few lines about my recent travel with Virgin Atlantic.
I flew from Manchester to Las Vegas (return) in June, I traveled in Premium economy both ways in the bubble.
I was quite shocked at how old the plain look inside now, I know there is a refit soon for the Manchester 747's and its long over due.
On the outward flight they ran out of choices for the meal's leaving members of my party with nothing they could (or would) eat, the seat was broken in front of my dad and when the guy in front put back his seat it was resting on my dads knee?!?
I think the crew members had family on board as there was a guy sat on the jump seat at the back of the bubble with a child that ran up and down the isle!?!
The return flight was not as bad but my seat was broken! if i sat back it hit the wall behind (I sat in 80K at the back) the flight crew were a lot better and we had all three meal choices, my only gripe about the meals was that the veggie breakfast was only a very small portion of mixed fruit and a banana!
If this was my first Virgin Atlantic booking, i don't think I would be so keen on booking with them again, but as i have flown Virgin for years now I know it is usually a lot better than this, Come on Virgin you can do better than this! there are good passengers outside london, Please stop sending all your naff planes up north.
