Back onboard another flight with Virgin Atlantic, one of my favourite airlines. I booked this flight during their Boxing Day sale, for £370 return to LA I thought why not.
Luckily for me on this particular flight, it was dead. Probably one of the emptiest long-haul flights I've ever taken. Which was great, meant I had a row to myself and not many people in the forward section of the economy cabin at all. Until after the service at least when a fair few people did move around and space themselves out to be comfortable. One thing you cannot knock Virgin for is the amount of food & drink offerings. Everything is of course complimentary, even alcohol and yes, even in economy. After take off, within the first 90 minutes of flight was a bar round, followed by the main meal service. A hot lunch. This was followed by another drinks & bar service. A few hours later I was offered a fruit ice lolly. A really nice touch and something to enjoy while watching a movie. Just about halfway through the flight, was another bar/drinks round with hot cheese & tomato toasties. Then before landing an afternoon tea offering & again a drinks & bar service. During descent everyone was then also offered "love heart" sweets. A lot of attention to detail and little things which really do go a long way. Something I've always loved about Virgin Atlantic. Compare this to what is currently on offer on BA flights where you get 1 hot meal and a warm sandwich / wrap before landing. No midflight snack or toastie or ice cream. Usually with ticket prices identical between BA & Virgin, you'd be mad to choose BA at this point as Virgin offer far more for your money, particularly in Economy. Perhaps the same cannot be said for their Business class offering and of course Virgin's lack of a real First Class, with their Upper Class cabin only really being a "business" class product.
Also, I love the A350's! The tailcam is an awesome feature to watch and Virgin's Vera entertainment system is really incredible. Very responsive touch screens as well, which can often be a real bug barer of mine. But these were brilliant; huge selection of movies and TV shows as well.

The commentary at the end was gold! 😆Great video!
Fantastic video. Great detail. Thank you.
I recently flew to LA and back - I was really nervous about doing my first long-haul flight since COVID, it was causing me so much anxiety and this video helped me a lot so I just wanted to say thank you 🥰
Superb aircraft. Nice exteriour design with that flying lady.
Wonderful video mate!
Super views and travel
Great views of Greenland and Vegas! I flew to Vegas last year from Heathrow and had a similar route. The mountains were the Tetons weren't they? I remember seeing Jackson Hole from my window seat which was cool
Footage from aircraft tail camera is amazing 👏
Beautiful video ❤
Yeah it’s a great feature! I had it on the screen next to me the whole flight. Thanks for watching
ppppppp🎸
Brilliant footage love the video😊
Cheers for this! I travelled to America for the first time last year on this exact flight. You're sitting in the same seat I was 😂 (not the same aircraft, but still cool) and I'm so lucky I got to travel with Virgin Atlantic for my first time. It's ruined all other airlines for me! Their cabins are truly so relaxing and I love the mood lighting, their food and beverages are out of this world (the cheese and tomato toastie was the highlight for me!) and their crews are so polite and helpful. Great vid.
what the fuck is a toastie
I love virgin but hard to get flight that they operates . I book flight to Florida but end up on Delta all the way , was good but virgin better. Thanks for sharing, I never being to LA
Nice clips of the airports. Wished you showed more of the cabin views than of the wing
Can’t particularly when it’s dark or there’s people around. I try not to film members of the public.
🍺🍷Be careful.You don't want to get too drunk, especially if you're going out to party in LA tonight. Anyway this is the 2️⃣ time I've seen this video. It's that good‼️I don't usually watch stuff twice. Although when it comes to a film like the 1st " Godfather " it's definitely Go. 👌 🎉🎉
I thought that was you talking 😂 i remember saying a few things to my self coming into land once with ryan air and girl in front turned and looked at me like i was mad. But i wasnt as bad as this guy 😂
Virgin Atlantic Airways is now officially joined the SkyTeam Alliance since March 2nd

Can’t understand why they are rated.
Their food is shocking in Y.
Tiniest portions.

No it is not. It’s some weirdo behind me who moved seats and sat their talking to himself for about the last hour of the flight 🙃

Tacky food presentation in economy.
Gosh it such a empty flight
Everyone skint .
