Not according to friends it hasn't (food wise)!

I'm not suggesting BA is miles better or anything simply that I suspect VS isn't head and shoulders above due to bit if decent PR, trying to sell it as anything other than the standard Y product it is

I'd very much imagine a flight in a new BA WT cabin would be in no way worse than the one in that new Vigin cabin on the trip report, unless you really need a cheap pair of socks and eye shade in an amenity kit (which 90% of pax seemingly do not)

Good to see they don't have the virgin branded drinks anymore though! That's deffo a big step up!
