After having a few beers with Richard Branson and a pilot from a Virgin Atlantic at the Virgin home loans launch party I am considering flying Virgin to UK. I am a big fan of QF so it would take a lot to make me go else where however the pilot told me the planes are running at about 65% capacity which means spare seats to stretch out on which Qantas never has as they always fly near capacity. Any one got opinion re Qantas V Virgin?? Other positive for Virgin is econ plus.
