Another brilliant report ozvirginuk! It was great the way that your surprised your partner with the CX F trip, quite a good surprise I must add!
Your VS experience is very disappointing. I've always wanted to try it, but I've heard so many bad things recently. One positive though, it was good that you were able to dine together in Business Class. Not many carriers offer that.
I'm appalled at the crew member who took no interest in your partner's illness. That's really terrible. I hope that you complained.
Although I have never been there, I have to agree with your comments about the CX F lounge, it doesn't look that special at all. Of course, the onboard product makes up for it. A trip on CX F is top of my 'to-do' list!
How did you find the QF F seat compared to CX?
Looking forward to more trips from you two ^.
