V-Flyer

Family gifted us tickets on Jersey Girl in Economy - which was novel as we have used PE for ten years. Would have considered upgrades to PE but VA wanted a ludicrous £2K each one-way on VS027! (they were begging us to do it for £199 each on VS028 07/05!) See trip report.

Would have paid for Clubhouse as we always do in PE but got run-around between VA and VH about that. It would almost have been cheaper to have booked a cheap holiday to a minimum standard resort in Orlando with hotel and car than to buy economy direct with VA.

Found the seat pitch fine and we had a vacant H next to JK on the side so were able to spread out. Food appalling apart from the chicken korma and drinks service was frankly beyond mean. The separate dessert in a polish can top was quite sickening.

No tea or coffee with the afternoon tea which came in a huge box yet had a dried up cheese and pickle finger sandwich and a foul cake in a round box rattling about inside. Why not a box half the size and a finger cake?

Vera system was excellent - I watched 4 new films.

Wow 2k for an upgrade to PE ,can't believe you didn't bite their hands off !

2K for a PE upgrade?!?! ha ha ha I bet they did not sell many at that price.

From what I have been reading of late it sounds like ECO food has truly become near inedible. It is a terrible shame that people might have to start taking packed lunches aboard

Cheers for posting

You know the food is bad and sparse when VA actually come round selling it after the meal...

Having flown Y for the first time in a number of years recently, I have to say we found the food quite good in both portion size and quality. As for the lack of drinks, you can just go ask for a drink at any time from the galley, so I don't quite understand how you can knock VS for that, and so long as you don't go to the extreme it is basically as much as you want,
