Is it really though? I've heard the manually seats in J leave much to be desired.

Although there was no mention of co-location at LAX. I wonder if we will see the VS flights move to T5/6? Perhaps all the fancy new check-in areas under construction at T5 will carry BE & Upperclass branding?

) but do you think VS travelers will be happy with the LAX SkyClub?

People using SWU would care to disagree (and I do not know if DL passes on the extra APD like AA/UA do, but the last time I knew about this was back when SWU was only good on M+ fares which made any savings useless.)

VS will in turn take over the first LHR-ATL (VS103 Dep 0925) to be operated by an A330-300

I hear VS was planning on building their own lounge at T2, but perhaps with a co-location with Delta at T5 those funds could be spent on an upgraded 'upperclass' portion of the SkyKlub?

Actually, VS/DL/BA/AA does have daylight flight is only for JFK/BOS-LHR.
I agrees. I'm sure this route will be so successful. Lots of competitive, eh?
