    Nice, objective review. Good point about ordering food from departing city. When I fly airlines that are not American I always order the cuisine of the airline's native country(i.e. Japanese menu on JAL or ANA.) I've found it to be much better than the "Western options" . Also, I've always received better cabin service from Asian airlines than U.S.based airlines. Their flight attendants seem to enjoy their jobs and provide friendly, warm and professional service. I could tell you some horror stories of being "barked at" by numerous United FA's on their trans-Pacific flights over the years. Whenever possible, I don't fly any U.S. based airlines internationally, it's just too unpleasant.

      Thanks for your comment! I’m sorry to hear you’ve received this kind of treatment from the United FAs. It’s truly bizarre considering how much we pay for the tickets. It’s really not too much to expect some good service. Here’s to hoping they improve!

      Thank you for watching! The lounge is open from 5AM until 1:30PM, which is when Priority Pass members can access it. The lounge then opens from 3PM until 10:30PM, operating as a lounge for Virgin Atlantic passengers and select Plaza Premium guests only. There should be food service between these times and outside these times the lounge should be shut.

    Decent video. The hot towel controversy rages on. I do face first, then hands, as I feel completely refreshed. I have flown reverse herringbone and didn't care for it. I would never fly seats like that. 1-2-1 staggered is the only way to go. Look forward to your next.

      @boring.traveller 5 месяцев назад

      Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it. I heard another person say that the towels are not that clean that’s why they don’t use it on their face. Which might be a fair point but like you i felt completely refreshed. I agree I won’t be flying this product again. Hopefully I can try A330neo with the Retreat Suite. Hope to see you here in the next one.
