ahhh I miss Lisbon, went there alone in January, lovely little city!
Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a good weekend :)
Enjoyed ur videos...and in this times of the pandemic I find trip reports and flight reviews like urs very satisfying and worth watching...it’s as if I’m travelling agin too.it gives me a sense of normalcy and joy ...right now too many restrictions and quarantine protocols for every country...thank u for the vids and until I get to fly like I used to..ur vids and others will do...stay safe.happy travels to u...oh and I’m a subscriber of course😁🇨🇦😎
thanks for watching Jerome! :)
yeah even within Australia there are more domestic borders restrictions but thankfully many are starting to reopen now.
Thanks for your video again! The meals are really nice onboard Virgin Atlantic. I am really looking forward to your Australian domestic trip reports to see how things have changed after COVID19. Enjoy your weekend!!!
Hi Man Shan, hope you're doing well!! I'm so looking forward to my next flight😝
Well done Jayden.. this is definitely one of your best.. I’m a subscriber so I watch most or all of your videos.. thanks for your output.. I love to fly and have been travelling all my life .. 😃..your good humoured approach is a real plus point to your clips .. thanks again .. 👍
thanks very much for your kind comment, I really appreciate it :)

Didi one of your best videos
Love it to death! Nice to see you are enjoying life travelling. The lounge is awesome and you look dashing esp after that so called free hair trim!...I love the way you shouted NO when parts of your meal fell off...Really hope to see ya soon despite all the borders still closed...meantime stay happy and safe...you made my day even better! Luv ya!❤👌⭐😷👏😘🤗
hair trim was very good! I could sort of delay my next haircut for another 3 weeks haha. I dropped my phone after I dropped the egg because I felt sad😂 thanks kor kor have a wonderul day and weekend ahead!!
Great video, Jayden! The Clubhouse at LHR looks awesome. I'm glad you had a great place to hang out during your very long layover. The service on the flight looked great. It's nice to hear you'll be able to travel again soon. Please stay safe!
the 7 hours went by really fast! I was supposed to be flying AA First DFW-HKG and dinning with you in Flagship dinning, but oh well, Jetstar will be good enough for now😂 thanks Mike!!
20:08 Feel sad for the egg 😂
Anyways, great review as always, not a fan of the lockable windows on the 787, but overall loved the vibes on Virgin Atlantic :)
thanks for watching mate and hope you're doing well!
Another great vlog Jayden
Waiting for more 😃
heaps to come!!
Another great video Jayden. I must admit I have never flown Virgin. Must try them one day. Excellent trip report with a good Q&A. Had to laugh at the His & Hers Coat Hooooks 😂🤣
Virgin Atlantic is pretty cool, not your usual airline haha. The best part is the Heathrow Club Lounge!
Love your videos. So simple and to the point.
Glad you like them! thanks for watching!
Goodbye Egg 😂😂 i felt your pain. Thank you for another long video 🙏🏼👏🏼 Appreciate it. Love the mood lightning though, beautiful 😍
egg is my fave food :((
thanks for watching!!
Your best flight review ever well done
thank you!!
Awesome trip report. I really like the moodlighting of VS's dreamliners. The staffs in the lounge were very helpful.
indeed, it's very unique, thanks for watching :)
Awesome review as usual.❤
Thank you! :)
Thanks! Useful information!
Glad it was helpful!!!
Wow what a steamy opening!! 😱😂 At first I thought my screen has a problem hahaha! Love the lounge tour huhu I feel I would enjoy there too 😊 stunning view of Moscow.
Good bye egg @20:08 hahaha NOOO!!!
Great vid Jayden, so glad to see you're flying very soon!! Take care 🤗
hahaha I'm glad you enjoyed the lounge tour
I hope you're doing well and possibly you can fly again soon?
thanks Carl :D
@@JaydenWong not likely :---( govt here is pretty strict for domestic flights, let alone international
Good to see you as always. Nice review. I was impressed with the meals offered in Economy Class. The lounge at Heathrow looks spectacular. I really like the viewing deck/patio on the third floor. On a personal note, my favorite city has always been Hong Kong. A late afternoon stroll around the Peak is so enjoyable. I like to have a picnic dinner on the Peak and watch the lights coming on in the evening as they cast reflections on the harbor. It's a tradition of mine everytime I am in Hong Kong. My heart will always be in Hong Kong and with the incredible people of this fascinating and unique city. Take care and God Bless all of you, always. ♥️🙏🏽🌎
that viewing deck is amazing, I hope HKG has one like that. I miss Hong Kong so much, I've been away for 4 months now. I have never left my family and HK for more than 3 months in my live before! thank you so much for watching John! I hope everything in HK will turn out well and fair with justice! And that we can travel there again soon :)
Best review of Flight and so Nice information deliver because I'm your big Fan❤️so Levely
Thanks a lot Muhammad, I wish you a lovely weekend ahead!
I already stopped flying since March😢Really miss those days traveling around....Fortunately, I can still imagine I’m traveling when I watch your video😆 many thanks!!
I stopped since Feb 29, been to long since I've flown, I've seen my family and be in Hong Kong! Thanks very much for watching Aaron :)
Great video Jayden, I just subscribed!! And also I felt sorry for the egg!
Thanks for subbing! :)
And yup, especially when egg is more fave food!!
I `ve not flown with Virgin Atlantic, but I think they do offer a very good product in their own unique style. Love the vibe of the Clubhouse at Heathrow Terminal 3. A great report from you Jayden! So pleased to hear that you have arranged your Cairns flight for later this month.
the entry to the Heathrow clubhouse has got to be one of the best Velocity perks! I'm going to Cairns via Sydney and SA just scrapped plans to open border for VIC & NSW on July 20 ugh!!! Hopefully they can announce a date for NSW real soon! thanks Pierre!
@@JaydenWong Oh bummer! I knew about SA remaining closed to Victoria, but was unaware that it is also NSW. I hope the decision about NSW will change before your flights Jayden. No new cases there at all today which is encouraging.
Your video are very good and have lots of fun!!!
Glad you like them Jacky, thanks!
@@JaydenWong You're welcome and thanks for like!
beautiful video, thanks for uploading. Greetings Thomas
you're welcome Thomas! thanks for watching :)
Great review of Virgin Atlantic Jayden and I love the mood lighting onboard! Will you be flying to Tasmania and do you have any more Tigerair/Jetstar reviews coming up?
thanks mate! No plan for Tasmania because I will have to fly via Melbourne and it's a no-go zone now haha. But yup a few Jetstar flights booked for this month :)
I feel rested after that flight.
Steamy Virgin Atlantic. 💁🏼♂️
Those mocktails were clever.
Great layover in the “Club House” lounge. Just luscious.
I do like the look and style of the Dreamliner.
That safety video cartoon was funny.
Nice taxi and takeoff views...The wing lights flashing on the runway even.
Dropping the egg 🍳 Noooooo ! 😂😂😂 I got a look from my housemate like, what are you laughing at?
Mr and Mrs coat hook.
Your Q&A was good. Loved your answer to #5 question. Awwwwwww 😀😘
Thanks Mr Wong, this report played like a song.
thanks for watching Steve! I like how to cartoon begins with British accent and then into American with all the superheroes😂 i'm glad you liked my answer :) have a wonderful weekend sir!
One World Flyer
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👌👌👌
Very nice trip report. The flight club looked like a dream and you certainly had a nice variety of meals to enjoy. VA is a great airline, and it'd be sad if the worst would happen to them from COVID.
thanks Andrew! Hope you're enjoying your weekend :)
Wohoo, VS207 finally!and also noice video again Jayden 🤠🤠 Edit:that Virgin lounge is amazing and the food looks delicious 😋 20:08 rip headphone user and egg
hahaha hopefully I didn't make anyone deaf
thanks for watching buddy!!
Terminal 3 is my favorite and terminal is my second favorite.
terminal 3 has a lot of good lounges! Qantas, Cathay, Virgin etc.
Awesome video and content as always. Hawaii opens up to visitors October 15 without a 14 day quarantine as long as you have a Covid negative test 72 hours before departure. Aloha from Kaua’i 🤙🏼
That is awesome! I'll come if I decide to go back to Hong Kong, a stop there will be nice before the 14 day quarantine at Hong kong!
Dude I just watched this. I am dead from cuteness overload.
😜
Another fantastic upload 👌 it's nice seeing different lounges on your videos ☺ nice haircut 🙌
Thanks Windell! 😊 I've not had a proper haircut since mid Feb😂
@@JaydenWong same here 😂 I'm hoping for one tomorrow during lock down ease from the 4th July 👌
Great video, as usual Jayden, thank you, and oh noooo for the scrambled egg falling 😂
I uploaded this 3 years ago and I still remember. You guys keep reminding me😂😂😂
that breakfast for Economy looks on point!
Absolutely! Eggs were overcooked and very tasty!
Virgin is a great airline for someone to fly with.Excellent report
definitely! I'll fly them again :)
thanks for watching!
Mr. and Mrs. coat hook? LOL!! I think you’ve been in lockdown too long Jayden. At least when you landed in that Dreamliner the landing gear didn’t sound like it was falling off. Safe travels in your upcoming trips through Australia, I’m looking forward to it!❤️👍✈️
Absolutely Diane! It’s great that borders are slowly reopening and restrictions easing 😍😍 Hope you’re doing well and take care✈️✈️
Jayden , great video ,
Cool video dude.. hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷😎🤙
thank you so much!! Greetings from Australia!! 🇦🇺
The “NOOOO” when he dropped some egg 😂
hy lovely flight as always looking forward to fly with you again
This madee interested flying Virgin Atlantic soon for my trip to London Nice video Jayden!
-Athan, Founder of the ETA Group
thanks very much for watching this one Athan!
Love the shirt/jumper combo at the beginning - very tasteful! Virgin are pretty consistent are they not? Thanks for review
good to know someone likes my fashion 😂 Virgin is consistent within their own airline not their whole group haha. thanks for watching Derek!
Nice (also it’s 12AM here and I have another entertaining video to watch)!
thanks!
One World Flyer wow poor egg :/
very nice report with a very cute and handsome flyer,,,
thank you so much!
your always welcome,,,love watching your flyt reports,,,,keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good video review! Thanks. I’m wondering if they provided compression socks onboard?
Interesting, I don't think I've ever been offered one onboard, just the cheap ones that barely fit on your feet. Airlines should offer that especially on long flights!
Thank you for the video. It was a very peaceful RUclips viewing experience, in considerable contrast to all the drama I am experiencing at the hands of the Beauty Gurus at the moment! Have a fabulous week!
haha beauty gurus, too much drama for me to handle, thanks for watching Daniel!
Great video
Thanks!
I flew on this exact aircraft from Johannesburg to London in April 2019 😆 G-VCRU with Olivia-Rae being the nickname given by Virgin👌
that's awesome! thanks for watching Ewan!!
高汁！加油💪🏻
多謝！
Nice review Jayden! The food offering in the lounge was looking really good. I was drooling at the burger. And yeah i can feel the "cultural differences" of the crew judging from the face masks. Lol.
thanks for watching Yoel! I was treated and fed like a king. and haha the face mask bit got me laughing in my own mind a bit
Good going friend... Competitively to other youtubers,you have good content....Keep going.....Best wishes from India.
that's so nice of you to say, thank you so much!
Nice video, hopefully both Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia can survive this pandemic, hopefully Virgin Atlantic starts non-stop flights to Australia. 😊
that'll be amazing especially with their A350😍
Very nice!👍👍
thanks mate!
Great review as always. Unique steaming start and loved the dropped egg - I completely sympathise as I have done a few times myself. I hate how they lock the window shades, especially when you are trying to live in arrival time zone.
hahaa I dropped my phone immediately to pick it up and ate it😂
yeah it stopped us from adapting new time zone, very annoying, thanks for watching mate1
@@JaydenWong 5 second rule!🤢
Great vid! I always prefer VS over BA and CX when it comes to HKG-LHR/LHR-HKG
Ahh interesting! thanks for watching man!
Great lounge. The meal and drinks looked and sounds like it tasted great too. That outdoor lounge would be great for some plane spotting too. Interesting observation with the masks too. Hopefully now it will be required. It is for all US airlines I think.
thanks heaps for watching Jeff! Yeah not I guess it'll be mandatory for UK airlines. In Australia it's 'encouraged' and from what I've seen on reviews and photos being shared around very few people wear them including crew. But that's because some states are now covid free :)
Good things: there is wifi onboard. However you have to pay for it. As well, I think the chicken and mushroom sauce was fantastic to eat and I would enjoy it. I also like the purple lighting.
Very true! thanks for watching as always!!
Wow a 32 mins video and very nice one mate! Love their “clubhouse/lounge” though! Yeah seat with that IFE box is annoying....
cheers Andrew! Luckily I got a spare seat next to me to stretch out a bit :)
We've been seeing these VS 789's in ORD lately on cargo flights, just wish they would start pax flights again since they look absolutely brilliant! Would probably still fly BA though XD
haha I'll just fly with whichever's the cheapest😝 Defo BA if it's a 747!
10:08 The safety video looks very fun to watch :)
yep haha quite long too! British accent in beginning and ending, American in the middle :)
Omg jealous at the amount of food you ate in this review! 😋😂
haha and drank? 🤪
Great work Jayden. 👌
Wow - the Virgin Clubhouse looks amazing. Brilliant way to spend eight hours. 😍
One thing I dislike about the 787 is how the crew can lock the windows and keep the cabin dark, even in daytime. 😡 Oh well, first world problem I guess. 🤣
At 17:00, how did you film your phone when it’s also your camera? 🤔
yup it annoys me! It's my right to have sunlight😂
the phone you saw was my old iphone 8 plus that produced my trip reports from 2018-2019. The one I'm using now is iphone 11 pro and the first trip report I filmed with that was on Etihad on the first day on 2020! my iphone 8 started to lag a lot and takes so much time to turn on the camera so had to get a new one!
One World Flyer Ah cool. I wondered if you had two phones. 📲
A really fresh video! Couldn't work out why though. Great Clubhouse, not surprised you give it top rating. It must be 50+ years since there was a good rooftop viewing area at Heathrow. Hate the Dreamliner as you know...3 hours is my limit...but the crew and the food seemed good. More in-depth shower reviews please...zzzexy! Just like Van Souza, I have no shame 🤣
haha I'm glad you enjoyed the shower tour 😂
Hopefully I can go back soon! only been there once and it's already my second home 🤪 thanks Norman!
@@JaydenWong Totally forget to say I am still killing myself laughing about the scrambled egg incident. Been there, done that. Solid scrambled egg and plastic fork just don't mix! 😘
First, (i guess XD) , another awesome video :D
ahhh second! thanks!
20:08 , just be careful next time mate XD
dude that looks so nice
how much did it cost to get in tht lounge and is the food free? >:)
Seedlip alcohol free spirits are amazing - I was introduced to them onboard a VA flight, and it's even carried at my local here in northern california.
yeah right! I loved the seedlip drinks in the clubhouse :)
Really great video👍👍. Liked
thanks dude!
@@JaydenWong You're welcome😁
Love 💗 to see your smiling face and cute eyes 👀 and your voice is so sweet.
😊 thank you
Awesome ☺ same flight when I came back from London in April. Only Virgin provided direct flight from London to Hong Kong at that moment😅 Even Cathay Pacific also cancelled its flight
damn I can imagine a lot of people put on rain coats and a lot of other protective gear? 😂
@@JaydenWong Obviously everyone put on rain coat but I didn't cause the plane was too hot with almost no air conditioning 🥵 As u know 787 don't have manual buttons at the top, I felt exhausted at that plane for 11 hours
What a nice lounge ! Looks like a hotel reception place more than a lounge to me . The flight is kinda decent I guess ? Also RIP the egg .
indeed a very nice concept that they call it a clubhouse, like HK estate's clubhouse. thanks for watching mate!
A game room on the middle floor? I have never seen it before keep it up.
it's really cool, you'll have lots of fun in there :)
thanks for watching mate!
Virgin Atlantic Club house is awesome! Loved the steam shower idea. Apologies l recently made a comment to you about MH 370 l didn't realise it causes you anxiety until l watched this Q and A so l am sorry😓
Yes the steam shower was awesome!! It’s still one of my favourite lounges. Thanks Vanessa! Don’t worry about it :)
Fantastic trip report. The clubhouse surely looks amazing, and so does the flight. It's really sad to realize that Virgin Atlantic is now in crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic. If the worst case happened, it would be super sad for this wonderful airline. ☹️
P/S: I feel bad for the egg 🍳
egg was good, landed on my lap and I picked it up and ate it :)
thanks very much for watching mate!
Thank God that it did not fell on the floor lol
How about flying the Comac C929 from Gold Coast to Guangzhou non-stop?
20.8 I felt that nooo and I got scared 🤣🤣
I miss travelling
same!!! been too long
Hi Jayden, were the seats on the last row able to recline back?
totally Molly!
拍得好好呀，可以止下旅行癮
多謝收睇！
I flew Virgin Atlantic from Chicago to London onboard an Airbus A330-200, and I really want to fly a Boeing 787 someday. I really hope that Virgin Atlantic doesn't retire the Boeing 747-400.
me too I really wanna fly their 747-400 even if it means I need to somehow get to Glasgow or Manchester haha. thanks for watching as always mate!
That moodlighting looks lovely! Tbh I'm not a fan of a mash + peas since I think mash would be more suitable if paired with sauteed veggies, I've tried mash + peas and it tasted like the peas ruined the texture 😂
haha you eat them separately! Well I do haha
Amazing trip nice 👍I feel sad for the egg😁
egg is my fave food so it hurt :(
thanks for watching! :)
@@JaydenWong 55+I really like watching your flight trip. If you have time, I want you to fly trip Thailand.
I welcome you from my heart😍😊
hey jayden how are you doing bro did you enjoy your flight with virgin atlantic ? :)
it was wonderful Pete! Thanks for watching man!
Wow, the mood lighting is intense. Were you sick of it cuz the window brightness was locked? It feels like entering into some sort of fantasy world while boarding
30:12 I wanna meet you haha
when I go to BNE😝
I wasn't 'sick' but was annoyed, wanna look outside when I'm sitting by the window!
Virgin Atlantic should fly the 787-9 from Lhasa, Tibet to London Heathrow non-stop!
Coat hook utilised for the 1st time :D
😂
Great video man! Also I can’t seem to find my video shoutout
it's in my Air France trip report :)

Hello my friend, Jayden. This is Guerry from America, and I have finally had time to write a comment to you. It is not that I haven’t seen your earlier videos, but since I try to write something other than, “I loved it.”, I require time to let all the information you present sink in well. Besides, I am in the habit of rewinding the video in the event something was not immediately clear.
Anyway, I enjoyed your video a great deal, and as usual, it was packed with enough details for me to develop somewhat of an opinion. Possibly this is a question for someone who frequently has to change terminals at Heathrow, but is there much of a problem when it comes to finding a connecting flight? You mentioned you were fortunate enough to remain in the same terminal as your flight from Barcelona, but my curiosity stems from my brother’s experience at Heathrow. He thought it was about the worst airport he had ever had to make a connection.
I truly enjoyed the tour you gave of the lounge. As you might remember some of my lounge comments from your earlier posts, I am a very concerned about the general cleanliness and especially the food serving area. I found it very refreshing at how clean the entire area is maintained, and I put it on a par with Cathay’s lounge in Hong Kong as well as some of the others used by airlines you have reviewed. So for me, I give it a huge thumbs up.
When it came to boarding and the lady who was checking your passport, were you able to get her name, address, and phone number? She was a bit hefty, but I still thought her face was pretty. I AM JUST KIDDING WITH YOU AGAIN!!! Of course I am not that crude of a person, but what would my comment be without me nudging you in the ribs?
I am especially happy that you made your flight on Virgin Atlantic, because actually viewing your video was more than worth reading 100 comments. It is rated 4 stars on Skytrax, and I would have to say that the service and amenities were above average from other airlines you have reviewed. One interesting article I read a while back is that Virgin Atlantic is planning to get rid of their 787’s and replace them with A350’s. The reason behind this change has to do with the tremendous expense it incurs with changing out the Trent 1000 engines (Rolls Royce). I really do not play favorites when it comes to manufacturers, and I am so sorry that Rolls Royce is having this problem. But nonetheless, Virgin Atlantic is having to pay an exorbitant amount due to the engines.
I read many of the comments left by others, and one gentleman really had a problem with the Boeing 787. The one thing with which I agree with you and him is that centrally controlled window dimming. Because of my back injury, I have to fly in business. For the price one pays for a business ticket, I want to control my window! I am one of those people who almost exclusively glues his forehead to the window, even if it is overcast and at night. But otherwise, comments I have read regarding the interior configuration of the aircraft are the decision made by the airline itself. So that complaint cannot be laid on Boeing.
Moving on to the outside view you had, yours was wonderful (until they dimmed the windows)! You were right on when you identified the airport as Stanstead. Furthermore, that was an incredibly ideal shot you made of Moscow (you even pronounced it correctly). But one of the most incredible things I viewed was how much the wing flexed between ground and air operations. As your aircraft accelerated down the runway, it looked as if the wingtip flexed upwards about 1 meter. When it rotated, it jumped up about another meter. For the flight, it stayed about 1 meter high, all the way until you landed in Hong Kong.
Well, my friend; again I must state how much I enjoyed your flight review. Forgive me for any typos, since I am trying to bang this out quickly and move on to other priorities to get done. Make sure you go see the giant Buddha the next time you go home for a visit in Hong Kong.
Hello Guerry! Hope you're doing well and it's great to know that you've been watching my videos. I never had to change terminals when I flew through Heathrow so I don't know how that works. My mum flew through Heathrow earlier this year and changed from terminal 5 to 3. She said it was quite easy, she didn't need to check-in or recollect baggage. I think it'll be difficult if one is not given the boarding pass departing from Heathrow?
I'm glad the Virgin Atlantic lounge gave you a new impression, I'd also put it on par with Cathay lounges in Hong Kong. They utilised the space well into multiple recreational areas and of course was all kept clean.
Ahhh that lady who checked my boarding pass was lovely. At first, I thought the beeping meant an upgrade. But it just meant more time interacting with her😂
The 787 engines have given many airlines hard times. The A350 has been quite successful with no suspension of the fleet and it's more comfortable for passengers so it's not really bad news. Rolls Royce has done well with the engines on A350.
Indeed, I believe the crew have been told by the airline to control the windows that way. United has done well by now reminding crew to not control the windows at all. It just wasn't fair for those who specifically paid to select window seats.
I am frightened when people pronounce MosCOW. The flexing of the 787 wings is amazing, like a real bird especially when it hits turbulence. Thanks Guerry, stay safe and take care!
Where did the eggs fall down to? Did you pick it up and eat it? I would eat it if it didn't fall on the floor.
my pants :) I did eat it haha
Are the snacks and drinks free
JW that lounge looks impressive! I must say my biggest letdown of the 787 is how the window shades are locked during flight. Why so many control towers at HKG? 🤔 20:09 lol #mrandmrscoathooks
On a serious note thinking of the awesome people of HK 🇭🇰
I honestly have no idea why and didn't know there was like two control tower until I rewatched it😂 One must be for HKG airport and another for fly overs?
thanks Dave, hopefully everything there will turn out well and with justice!!
One World Flyer 👍
Can I ask you how tall you are? Since for every height the impression of seats differ from height to height.
I'm 5'10, 178cm :)
@@JaydenWong Thank you!
Great vlog, thanks for the upload, but I cannot agree with your comment that Virgin lounge is best in world. The Pier 1st class lounge in HKG IS the best on the planet. Sadly, with the new laws Beijing just passed I doubt I will ever see the lounge again :-(
Thanks Gavin! I too love the The Pier first. It has many things that the Virgin clubhouse doesn’t like free message, day suite. But I just like the Virgin vibe and the layout there more :)
and ugh that law 🥵 such bs
Agree J, the vibe in lounges like Virgin are more relaxed, I was saying the lounges like the Pier are so opulent .... i was supposed to go through the Qatar 1st lounge in June but that trip got cancelled ... so sad about that ... so are you staying in Sydney now?
