      I can bet you that people will be so used to social distancing and the back to front boarding even after the Covid pandemic is contained. PS: If we ever have another widespread pandemic for instance the influenza pandemic, I can bet you that everyone would be wearing masks again and be socially distanced

    Fun Facts:
    Virgin Atlantic is the second largest British international airline behind the behemoth that is British Airways.
    While it is not a member of an airline alliance like BA (OneWorld), Delta (a SkyTeam member that is one of the three US flag carriers alongside American Airlines and United Airlines) has a minority ownership in Virgin Atlantic. Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and a number of other international carriers share T4 at JFK, possibly because of this.

    Yes, I've read Virgin's A350 economy seats don't have power outlets. I find that odd, too. Premium & Upper both have power outlets. I flew in one of their A350 last August in Upper LHR-LAX. It was okay. I wasn't all that impressed with their new Upper Class Suite. It felt very "plastic" to me & the seats are narrower than in Virgin's other aircraft in Upper. Premium seats are also narrower on the A350 than in their other aircraft. Starting in late September, I'm going to try their Premium service. I live in Palm Springs so there are no direct flights. I'm uncertain which city I'll fly out of to London. Seattle, San Francisco & LAX are my best options. Thanks for the video!

    Always wanted to travel to London's busiest airport and enjoy London for a week or two, then come back from vacation for my online summer classes. But I can bet you that from ATL to LHR, it would either be Delta or British Airways. One more fact is that from the US to London would be faster than the other way around due to the nature of the jet stream - you would be riding along the jet stream when traveling east and against it when you travel west. PS: Virgin Atlantic and Delta both provide menu cards in economy class and British Airways doesn't. *Correct me if I'm wrong
