Hello From London!

Hello From London!

5

Good afternoon from the Revivals Lounge at London Heathrow, fresh off my Virgin Atlantic Upper Class flight from San Francisco. I feel refreshed after a shower and 15 minute (complimentary) head massage. In a word, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class was grawful (yes, a combination of great and awful). What do I mean? There were very few parts of the service that were mediocre. In most areas they were excellent, and then there are a couple of aspects of their product/service that leave me scratching my head. Overall they exceeded my expectations, though. Now, Virgin Atlantic would be truly top notch if we could play passenger “Survivor” and kick off a few passengers along the way (yes, I’m talking about the four people that sat at the bar for seven hours, blocking the way for everyone else)…

A full trip report is coming soon, though in the meantime, here are just a few teaser pictures:

    interesting I've taken the SFO-LHR flight several times and not come across bar blockers before. Hopefully you were seated in a different cabin so you could at least sleep ... I'd like to know what you thought was awful - were they making noise? did you want to get to the bar ?

    If they were making noise and you were trying to sleep I would have told them to tone it down ...

    anyway...

    anyway - look forward to the report. Love VA myself - great airline in Premium Economy or Upper.

    LOL on the bar blockers though sorry to hear that. Maybe you mean awful in the true sense as in inspiring you full of awe :)
