So hello and today work in a tryout Virgin Premium Economy. We've tried the
same flight with economy and upper-class. it's London Heathrow to JFK.
Right, before we get on the plane to review it, we have to run the gauntlet of
the duty-free shops. So fingers crossed let's go. Run! What do you do, when you've got
an hour to kill at the airport. Do you spray the stuff, Mr. Hugo Boss.
That's the question "spray or not to spray" what do you think 'Mel' Not to
spray. I sprayed anyway. Getting back to the fight. We're flying Virgin premium
economy we've not done that before. We've done upper and we've done just economy
on the same routes, London Heathrow to JFK. I think we may be going on a Boeing
787 Dreamliner. I hope it is, because they're much nicer. The normal plane they use is
the Airbus A330 but I think this could be a 787. Is that a Dreamliner? We were
right it was a 787. For some reason they me and Mel in separate seats. Thankfully some kind person moved for us.
"Flight time today of seven hours of 20 minutes should see us into JFK on
scheduled arrival time of 6:45 this evening"
The 787's got really funky windows, they haven't got the old-fashioned blinds.
How do you find the legroom Mel. Why am I doing that my legs?
Right, a quick look for the films!
The touchscreen is quite responsive on this.
Let's play the game
How will these actually look when the food arrives.
That's the food, meatballs.
Food time. pasta and meatballs.
This is the afternoon tea, I've got mozzarella sandwich and basil
a warm scone, a little bit of carrot cake and a bit of chocolate cake I think and
strawberry jam and clotted cream to go with the scone, cup of tea and they've
also got soya milk to put in the tea. So quite impressed with that.
It was quite good actually. We've arrived exactly on time.
We've arrived on time. Well we've actually made it to JFK. The Dreamliner was
really good wasn't it Mel, the Virgin Atlantic flight was really good
especially the Dreamliner. Look at that police car behind us.
They sent a welcome party for us.
Anyway bye-bye.
