BA or Virgin

[neilopafc]

Hello we have always gone with Virgin flight wise but for next year BA is coming up at a good price but my wife is Virgin Atlantic mad 🤣 please help me convince her it's a good idea saving is 1k roughly

Whenever I see threads about cheap BA flights I always have a look and cant find anything that comes near Virgin Prices.
Before I go and look are the BA flights direct
From what guests have told us theres not much difference between the two

It's a 9 hour bus ride in a tin tube in reasonable comfort, reasonably on time and hopefully safe so why would you spend an extra grand?

Mind you - up to 3 weeks ago I regularly said the same thing on here about Thomas Cook who were often £1,000 cheaper for PE for us. Guess they got their pricing structure wrong.

Whoever is cheaper, end of discussion

Ask her what she would like to spend the £1k on, if she says flights then so be it.

I'd rather spend my £1,000 over there than over Greenland

Wish I’d said that ! 👍🏻😂

I’ve travelled with both and assuming all other things being equal (departure point, timings suit you etc) I would always go with the cheaper option.

Personally I’ve never found enough of a difference between the two to warrant an extra £1000.

No difference between them, long gone are the days virgin was head and shoulders above the rest.

We fly ba a lot and find their prices and service very good.
For me it’d boil down to price.

Not much to choose between them IMO, I would go with the cheapest.

If the price was the same, I may choose VA as the flight home is later, but otherwise, think BA just edges it for me
