“Great Flight!”
Review of Virgin Atlantic Airways


Reviewed 6 June 2024

Really enjoyed our flight in Upper Class. Wonderful, cheerful flight attendants and very good food and drinks. The separate check-in and security is very convenient, and the Club House is one of the best lounges. Great flight!

Ours was a connecting flight from Bengaluru-London- SanFrancisco and we were tensed about delays or problems in checking in for connecting journey. But it was super smooth check in. In flight experience was superb, great food, great entertainment and very gracious service. Only I found the inflight temperature a bit too cold for my liking. Had to wrap double blankets that were provided. Would definitely like to repeat this airline and would recommend anyone else too. Our luggage allowance was fantastic as we were able to take everything that we needed to bring to USA

I am deeply displeased with the recent discovery that the flights I secured with Virgin Atlantic have significantly dropped in price post-booking. When trying to get this issue resolved I am told that its not possible for a price match.
Avoid booking!

First time flying this airline my daughter purchased the tickets and paid extra to get a bit of an upgrade
in economy ,(premium was totally booked on this flight)..The seats are so tightly packed you can not move ONE INCH! and I am not exagetating!!..being strapped to a board would have been more comfortable! Im 5'8 female not ovetweight and with no problems and had to squirm around in my seat for 8 hours trying to eleveate the pain of being forced into this tiny space! I have no idea how a full grown man managed to tolerate this flight! Only suitable for small children or if you have taken enough sleep aids to be rendered unconcious thru the whole ordeal! At the end of the flight we discovered the baggage handlers had litetally crushed my daughters case..it had been slammed so hard one of the wheels had been shoved up inside rendetng it unmoveable. This was a brand new name brand case fyi! She had to open it up and force/punch the wheel out so we could at least roll it. We are frequent long distance travelers and we both agree WORST FLIGHT In the history of forever!!
On our way back we were able to upgrade to premium, it was like night and day it was one of the best flights we have ever had..plenty of room no complaints on this flight not one.
SO DO BETTER VIRGIN ATLANTIC for your economy customers buying a cheaper seat dhould NOT mean you should have to suffer the horrible "cabin torture" we endured!!
So if you can not upgrade to premium my advise is DO NOT fly this airline!!
