Made it to Mexico nice and quickly, only 9 and half hours due to winds! All good.

Plane was great, the refurb is great, seats are very comfy plenty of space and the entertainment is great.

Food was a slight disappointment and to be honest so were the crew :( they were more interested in their plans for their first visit to Mexico than the passengers. Will do a TR over the next few days, however some tips.

PE upstairs is great, row 24 was nice, but lasts served so food choice was a premium. Upstairs economy was full, even so no issues with the loo until landing and everyone wants to go at the same time. Bassinett is in location on HK, and the tv was in the arm. Disembarking wasn't very well planned.

Will post more in a TR, any questions, give me a shout........

Thanks for the initial thoughts. Interesting that bassinet is 20H/K (if I'm interpreting you correctly) - didn't you say that these seats were available at OLCI? Normally bassinet positions are held back, or so I thought...

Thanks for the first impression of the re-furb and the revised upstairs experience

Shame about the Crew attitude n(

Look forward to the TR

Row 20 was definitely available on both mmb and olci. Didn't get a look at the downstairs PE cabin so there may be more in row 14 ?

Leg room was good, the overall impression of space was good, never Virgin, PE or the bubble before so can't compare to old, but overall the space felt good, wide aisle works well and the legroom was more than adequate even on recline from in front and I am 6'2"

That said, I thought the ec cabin upstairs looked cramped - for info, there did appear to one side bins in Ec............
