So do you think our experience will be any different on one airline or another in economy class non stop from NYC to London?
You may find that the FAs and attitudes vary by carrier. Many people prefer the folks on VS over US-based and other UK-based carriers. There are many places to check for travel experiences in economy on all of the carriers, including YouTube...take your time and do the research. It'll be worth it
I would take any of the alternatives over VS - had a terrible (lazy, slovenly Crew Who discussed their boyfriend troubles while serving drinks, dirty uniorms with rips, Inedible food) flight LHR- MIA. just don It see Why people rate them.

I would pick based on route (convenience & timing)and price....
