Is Flying More Fun with Virgin?? Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic's A350-1000 from London to New York
Virgin Atlantic describes themselves as a "bright red, fun, friendly, fabulous choice that made travel attainable for everyone." Indeed, the London-based airline took the market by storm when they launched in the mid-80s, offering a first class product at business class prices, and challenging the existing norms set by flag carrier British Airways.
With the introduction of "Upper Class," Virgin was one of the pioneers of the "business class plus" model that many airlines are shifting to today. You didn't just get a lie flat seat - you also got a private chauffeur to the airport, a private security channel, an over-the-top airport lounge with a barber shop and spa, and also an ONBOARD loun...

SWISS Has Juiced Every Last Dollar Out of This Seat - Business Class on the A330 from ZRH to BOM

SWISS International Airlines - the flag carrier of Switzerland - is one of the most profitable airlines in Europe. Just like the country they call home, they strive for precision, predictability and professionalism across all their operations. And of course, they're a premium / full-service airline - so if you want a bargain, you'll probably have to look elsewhere - but lately they've been gett...
India's Best Airline is Going Away?? Say Hello (and Goodbye) to VISTARA - Business Class on the 787
Просмотров 15 тыс.Месяц назад
9 years ago, India welcomed a new airline - but not just any airline - a premium, full-service airline named Vistara. A joint venture between two formidable companies - TATA Group and Singapore Airlines - Vistara sought to provide travelers a fresh alternative to the dated & dysfunctional Air India and Jet Airways - India's other full service carriers at the time. Passengers were invited to "fl...
No One is Ordering More Planes Than India... Here's Why
Просмотров 19 тыс.Месяц назад
In 2023, Indian airlines ordered a record 1,124 airplanes from Airbus and Boeing, more than 3 TIMES as many as US airlines. This represents a monumental shift for the world's largest country, which had never ordered more than 300 new aircraft in a single year. India's two largest carriers - Air India and Indigo - led the charge, ordering a combined 970 planes - mostly narrowbodies - to support ...
It Ain't No Bullet Train, but It'll Do - BRIGHTLINE High(ish) Speed Rail from Orlando to Miami!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
High speed rail is hard to find in America (we love our cars!!), but one of the only examples happens to be right in my backyard, and it's relatively new, so I decided to give it a go! Brightline runs a service between Orlando and Miami that covers the roughly 250 miles in ~3.5 hours, not a huge time savings vs. driving, but way more comfortable, reliable and just plain cool. The pricing varies...

    While they love to claim that they are the best airline of India, my own experience of Vistara showed me that they are the worst of all. I did a trip from Delhi to Mumbai on economy class with Vistara recently and just because the plane was about one hour late, they decided to depart from Delhi without even having all the passengers luggage on board. Most of the passengers who had their luggage left back are on the economy class, because the Business class and the Premium class have a different line at the airport and had all their luggage sent onboard. About twenty passengers + from economy class could not find their luggage at arrival all because the airline had decided to depart even without having all the luggage onboard. The passengers were informed at arrival that their luggage had been left behind so as not to delay the plane anymore. It has to be said that unlike most airlines who ask for feedback from all passengers after a trip, economy class passengers do not have the option of leaving their feedback and this is for a good reason. They clearly don't care about the economy class passengers. If they did, they would be careful with their clients belongings and avoid such a situation. I was supposed to have a correspondance to Mauritius after this flight and I was so lucky that my flight had been rescheduled one day later. Or else, I wouldn't have been able to get my luggage before leaving India. This is why never again, I will book a flight with Vistara or will I ever recommend this airline to anyone. I've travelled on a lot of airlines before but it is the first time I see one plane voluntarily allowed to take off without all the luggage of the passengers. And they do not even inform the passengers about this.

    I've tried A350 and A330-900neo with VS but I couldn't find the tailcam. Once I even asked the cabin crew and he did not know if there is or isn't. I will keep looking for it ,but I think many people love that feature.

  • @Avgeek101-qs3gf
    @Avgeek101-qs3gf 4 дня назад

    Well this is with a "standard" 2 class config, the A351K seats a higher number in economy as it still has a 10 abreast seating capability whilst also featuring the length of 1 or 2 more rows. Another thing is that most airlines feature a 1-2-1 on all there widebodies in both business and first class. In such a way, how does the 777-8 seat more? after all the same configuration is present and the A350 is longer. Further more like you said its hard to determine the capabilities of both the 777x-8, and -9 we will have to wait and see if the excessive wing size and dramatically oversized engines lead to it being far too fuel inefficient.

    I was a Virgin lover in the 90s and 2000s mainly due to the Dirty Tricks campaign operated by BA against Virgin, and enjoyed top tier status for many years. Years later, I gradually switched over to BA as Virgin's offering became increasingly downgraded, but more importantly, their route network, particularly eastbound, was decimated. Out went the hot tub, haircut, flowers, second pillow, on-board massage, on-board sit-at bar. Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Vancouver all gone, and all routes I've taken with Virgin multiple times. The only thing that remains consistent with Virgin is in-your-face "current thing" marketing, which, as I get older, I find more eye rolling than eye catching.
