LHR - JFK VS003

Hi

After some advice... Theres a shocker!

I've booked for my wife and I to go to NYC in October as a suprise for our 10th year of marriage.... Should get me some brownie points with her indoors.. We've booked E (class N)... I'm wanting to make it special for her.. like booking a nice chilled champagne or something of that sort... What facilities do VA have for this sort of request.

The wife will not know we are going until we check in at the airport so I need to be super sneeky! I'm not on the hunt for freebies as I don't believe they happen. Plus I runa business and know its all about ROI.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

If you have a look at the Retail Therapy page of the VS site here:

you can order a bottle to be delivered, chilled with glasses, inflight.

A great way to keep the magic of the trip going, you just have to live up to it once you get off...

£20 for sparkling white, £30 for Moet or Moet Rose and £104 for Dom!

Not bad at all.

Cheers for that...

Any other recommendations... I may ask about an upgrade for the flight back as its overnight... Were on VS002.. I've been told various prices... How do I get the best value..

The Bid system, on check in or in flight...

My top tip for the VS003 (if its still operated by the A330) is that if theres only the 2 of you, request seats 63 H and K - more legroom there than in the rest of economy.

Personally I'd take 300 each based on an original N class ticket. But all a matter of opinion around what is 'good value'...

Standard £300 each upgrade Economy to Premium on board per sector. That's all flights all destinations.
