Its almost funny how little facts there are in it!

Apparently it gets very rowdy around the bar in upper class, you cant see much on the ptv's because theyre so old, and youre only allowed 1 free dring during a 12 hour flight!

Plus many more...

Half of that review seems to be years out of date.
Do like the 1.2" screen though.......... ;)

Mummy and Daddy must be so proud that their little one has learned how to post pages up to the Internet. I gave up reading it halfway through due to the sheer amount of spelling and grammar mistakes, let alone factual mistakes.

Thanks,
Richard

Ouch what a load of nonsense... 30"... yeh, you wish... its 31-32" actually...
1.5inch PTV's? Been and gone there im afraid.
Ive always found the drinks service to be fine... I mena, how hard is it to go an get a cna of coke from the galley anyway?
Hmm, complaints about the 'goodie bag'... the socks coem in mroe colours than yellow.
What a load of _____!
Im going to email the designer of this wonderous site to tell them just what I think. I will post the reply... (if the creator has the knowledge)

Where did you find that load of hog wash? TV's in UC screwed to the seat in front. Not us UCS (Well technically I guess they are but..) 30" seat pitch is possible as we have discussed before, although obviously not the norm. A 1.2" across screen would be similar in size to a postage stamp... The only place to find a paper is at the bar? (I know that is generally where they are stored, but I am always offered loads of reading material when I fly). And what about wobbling away at the bar during turbulence. Yeah right, as soon as those seat belt signs are on, you are away from the bar! Sometimes I wish I could stay there (being a nervous flyer).

These things do wind me up as they are not posted as an opinion, more a balanced review (which it is of course not!) and there is no way to post comment.

The thing that really made me laugh is UC seats not being much bigger that BA WTP.. I take it the reviewer must have flown BA WTP when he was 5 and now he is 9 the UC seats seem a lot smaller.....
And lets not even get into comparing BA WTP to VS UCS!!

The BA review on the same site is about 5 years old based on the Club Class pack of goodies. Maybe the VS is about the same.

This was done when G-VFAB had Arcadia before UCS and V:Port were installed so Upper Class was still J2000.

As long as not too many people read it[}:)] It really doesn't represent the VA product that is now in service does it!

I should think any airline reading it might be p**d off ... it's actually a riot of nonsense and silly errors - I particularly love the writer's propensity for identifying what can be stolen, like:

At the end of the flight, your headphones will be collected, unless you're sitting next to an empty seat and can offer those back.

Looks like a school or college project doesn't it ... oh check out the upgrade section, apparently you won't get upgraded if you've ordered a 'special mean' (ref. Richard's grammar comment!).

Ho ho ho

As p17blo said, you won't be sitting at the bar wobbling in turbulence - you'll be back at your seat. Also, from what I've heard, it has only been rowdy on the v-flyer party bus!;)[}:)]
His "knowledge" of VS is simply shocking - as his english and perception of space if he thinks UC is only just bigger than WT+ and that BA has 34" compared to 30" on VS in Y.
