“Fabulous Flight on Virgin Atlantic”
Review of Virgin Atlantic Airways


Reviewed 19 July 2019

Both ways of our flight were spectacular on this new airplane. It is a long 10-hour flight from Los Angeles to London but we were pleasantly surprised with the legroom in coach. Very comfortable. The service was amazing. The flight attendants, all very young, were attentive throughout the night but let passengers sleep. On the trip home, we must have had 8-10 food and beverage services. We look forward to flying Virgin Atlantic again.

Virgin can't be beat regarding friendly, professional service and comfort. Business class is superior in every way to British Airways where you actually have to crawl over someone else's feet to get out, and the flight attendants aren't nearly as pleasant. Virgin is always my first choice when flying to Europe. My friends were seated in premium economy and were also very satisfied.

The in-flight service from the Virgin Atlantic Airways crew was amazing. Although we were delayed (due to weather in NYC and JFK being backed up), the crew made sure we were comfortable and happy while waiting to be taxied. They served us water and pretzels while we waited. The main course meal was delicious and so was the small breakfast box given to us right before landing in London. The crew was cheerful and accommodated any request. There were a few seats empty on the flight which made it even better! I would totally recommend!

This is the first time we have flown with virgin. I would use them again. Comfortable seats plenty of entertainment movies games. Food was okay. Plenty of drinks and snacks very friendly Air Steward. I find a lot of them can be a bit up themselves, but not on this flight all of them seemed genuinely friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work virgin airlines.

I finally decided that I was getting a little long in the tooth to endure a long haul flight in the confines of my usual economy class so I decided to splash out on a business class seat. Given the considerable difference in cost I was expecting the experience to be memorable and I wasn’t disappointed. From checking in at Virgin’s dedicated desk and having the convenience of an exclusive security check to the superb service in their lounge and being equally well treated on the aircraft for the whole flight everything was marvellous. Cabin crew were friendly attentive and very helpful. Food and drink excellent. Already looking forward to my next flight with them.
