Afternoon Tea on Virgin

[act1980]

I’m flying out to Orlando in UC this August and just wondered if Virgin will serve afternoon tea on the flight? Our flight time is 10am which is the same time I’ve flown out to LA in UC where they did serve it. Wondering if they do the same for Orlando? Anyone know?

Thanks! 😊

They always have done in EC. Just a sandwich, crisps and some sort of brownie thing

We did the VS27 in early March. Full selection of sandwiches, choice of cakes from which you choose what you want. Plus scone, jam and cream.
The best part for me was 3 mugs of coffee

Thanks Tom! Do they still bring them out on those little tiered plates? It’s been a couple of years since I’ve flown at that time of day so haven’t experienced it for a while.

Sadly no. The tiered plates have gone. I have the menu and some photos on my phone I think. I will dig it out in the morning.
Just found one. I will go onto my phone now.

Had to show the view!

Can’t find the cakes sorry. I can take more pics in 2 weeks if you like

Hi act1980, no, that stopped early 2016. No choice of sandwiches now, handed a cellophane wrapped sarny, they bring a few cakes and a scone, jam and cream.

[Mr Tom Morrow]

There is a choice of sandwiches and I suppose it's down to the crew how you actually receive them. Ours were not in clingfilm and in fact I dont think I have ever had them wrapped, instead just on a plate.

Still can't find the photo but there are 3 little cakes to have.

TBH I really though you were joking about this until I read your update - I've been flying UC at least twice a year for over 15 years and never had sandwiches in cling film. The crew must have been seriously bad, either that or they forgot to load the UC afternoon tea and you were given Econ/PE leftovers!

OP - I think 'Mr Tom's' photos are pretty up to date (I know it's recently changed from sandwiches to rolls) but, if you want any info from my flight next week, just let me know.

Edit - I quite like cheese and onion
