I really think that one of the primary reason why Virgin Atlantic stands out above many other trans Atlantic carriers simply comes down to aesthetic. Many other carriers have similar offerings in economy class but with their young fleet of planes and their flashy style Virgin Atlantic makes the whole journey an experience in itself, almost as if you’re boarding a spaceship Virgin Galactic style.

Virgin market their ‘second snack’ as Afternoon tea and here in Britain, afternoon tea generally consists of light food and cake/scones.

I love your 'Brutally Honest' series of reviews. It's very realistic and sticks close to the subject matter, instead of drifting off into a self-centred personal blog like many other 'reviewers'. BTW: even though flights delays happen to all airlines, I always associate virgin atlantic with flight delays, due to past experiences. I much prefer virgin for flight experience and customer service, but I must concede they don't seem to recover as well as B.A. when it comes to flight delays.

The main disappointing thing I found in economy on the virgin a350 was when someone puts there seat in recline it gives you very little room and encroaches majorly on space. Also virgin economy food isn't the best. Also this flight review was very empty flight. Try it when its rammed full. Very different experience. No hot towels, less drinks offered and alot harder to move out of the window seat when full. Virgin are a good airline overall just some small touches need to be made.

I'll be flying the A350 on Sunday, booked in Upper Class from LHR-LAX. Due to the pandemic, I assumed there would be a reduction in meal and drink service, so I wrote Virgin. From the UK I'll receive a hot meal and an afternoon tea. No alcohol service, but beer and wine will be offered with meals. I've always flown Upper Class on Virgin's B789 so this is going to be a very different experience, but it sounds like it'll be better than BA's current business class service which consists of a cold sandwich in a box! It is odd about the lack of power outlets. It won't affect me but it will certainly upset others.
