(I prefer it to the 747). I've only ever tried QF/CX in business/first so can't compare. However, most people agree that VS premium economy is one of the best enhanced economy products (it's MUCH better than BA).The new premium economy (which operates on this route) is very nice...full leather seat, decent leg room, wide, priority check-in, priority boarding, pre flight drink and dedicated crew for the cabin. Food is the same as Y, except on a tray with dishes and cutlery. There are some extras like a fruit bowl and after dinner drink. I think it is safe to say it is worse than UC food. No lounge access
In all, PE VS is a good product -I'm sure you will have both a comfortable and enjoyable flight on this route and it will be better than QF/CX Y. ^ If you can get seat 19C or 21C, take it!
Excellent ...... We have actually selected 20A/C seating. The other seats available are D/F/G seating which is no good for us. What is so good about 19C or 21C?
It is what I read about in Virgin forum that makes me suspicious about their service as it seems that they have gone downhill. However I guess it would apply for all airlines in this regard.
I am flying CX to LHR on Y (which I usually fly on) next week. So I know how cramp it will be, so I am really looking forward to more space available in PE compare to Y.
How does VS PE compares in terms of space with eg QF PE, BA WT, UA E+?
