Checked in online and saw g-vast was our plane ,very happy and very new
Clubhouse was great wife had some treatments and I had a massage
Nice breakfast ,with some fizz, great staff
Ladybird had a few PA problems so we where 1 1/2 hours late leaving lgw
We had 7a &7k , good seats ,
Almost straight after takeoff , people wanted to eat and go to sleep,so within 60 minuites the uc cabin was in total darkness ,gutted,
So I had a wonder around the newly refitted aircraft
PE down stairs looked fine, they share the two toilets with uc
Y ,down stairs looked really nice , great entertainment system,
Still not sure on up stairs, people queuing to use toilet in PE cabin
Not a great design , just leave PE all upstairs as normal ?????
All in all a breath of fresh air for the lgw fleet, well done virgin
Back to me , as the cabin was so dark I had to keep going into the galley to get a drink !
And interrupt the crew chatting , any way great trip , bloody hot in Vegas ,

I've noticed the poor service a lot recently when it comes to CC being too busy during the flight. I've done 1 LAS and 2 LAX trips in the last 8 weeks in PE, hoping that UC on VS007 has better service as I am running out of airlines. Is it too much to expect decent service when paying $$$$ for these seats.

I hope my UC flight to Las Vegas in November has a more lively feel to it.
