Really nice, and I hope they don't drop access to lounges. Virgin PE is the most comfortable way to travel to Chicago at the same price as qantas or Air NZ economy.
It didn't occur to me to drink till I dropped. Maybe next time.
Thank you!
We purposely didnt drink till I dropped but with the 2 hour delay we were in at the hotel in AKL around 3am and lets just say it was a bliss to drift to sleep straight away!
I hope the seats in PE to ORD was better then the one on their 737-800
