Virgin Atlantic
How do British Airways and Virgin Atlantic compare for long haul flights?
Specifics: Economy class, on transcontinental flights such as London to China or London to US.
How do BA and Virgin compare with regards to comfort, price, reliability, punctuality, passenger-friendly policies, etc.?
Virgin's prices seem to be quite a bit higher than BA's, but is it really worth the higher price?
Thanks ^^
I've flown both in economy and First.
Definately BA if you fly economy. Seats are more comfortable and service is way better. VS was a killer on an 8 hour flight, especially for my husband, he's pretty tall.
Service is better on BA by long way in both economy and especially First. I agree, they don't have a beautician or a bar in BA but who the hell needs it on a plane? Remember - you are paying for it even if you don't use it, that's why VS economy is more expensive.
