Afternoon Tea on Virgin

They need somewhere to take a break, they just get hassled by customers still when sitting in normal seats.

Like the idea of flying from Dublin as you can clear immigration before landing in the US. Just don’t like the idea of having to change.

Did you know there are bunks in the rear of the 747's for the crew. I was advised by a crew member that they are awful!

I did actually, I’m sure they’re not that great. Wonder if they were refurbed when the rest of the aircraft was. Probably not which is why they’re so bad 😬

The A330 PE cabin is the standard 38"/21" and we quite enjoyed flying the Airbus. I think it could be a while before any newer aircraft service MCO from LGW or Man, but then again LHR PE/UC pax may not be too happy about the loss of inches. VA PE held the accolade for a good amount of room, not so now, seems the A350 PE is not much different to extra leg room.

We quite like indirect as it's off and away once we get to RSW, for us it makes the journey easier, but likely not so for those with bairns.

Mmm, that sounds very nice.
My Wife will opt for the salmon and I am toying with beef or the chicken. Probably the chicken.

Is this MAN or LGW as I know they differ.

How do you see the menu to preorder? I didn’t know you could do that.

How strange. They always have my details but I’ve never had an emailing regarding food choices.
