Best Business Class Cabin, flying to London/Manchester?

I recently flew Delta BC to LHR and the cabins were tired/old.

What's the best business class cabin flying Sky Team from US East Coast to MAN/LHR? Thanks

Hi,

Do you have status with Delta or other skyteam partners?

If with Delta, Delta and Virgin atlantic have a JV across the atlantic so you could fly virgin to LHR ( and possibly MAN but I do not know where on the east coast Viirgn fly to MAN from) but if you had status on another Sky team partner you might not earn anytihng on Virgin. Virgin's business class ( upper class is very good)

Othewise ie with Air France you would need to change in paris.

Regards

VS aren't part of sky team so any ST status (other than direct with DL) won't get you anything with VS.

VS fly BOS - LHR & MAN and JFK&EWR-LHR but not M direct to AN

You could try KL to AMS and then AMS to LHR and LCY and MAN.

Without knowing your starting point ('east coast' is so vague) it's hard to give proper advice.

Have a look at say google flights and you can choose ST only flights and plug in different start and end points.

I’ve asked that this be moved to the SkyTeam forum as that seems the better place for it.

And with your correct subjunctive usage (we need to keep standards up, after all) your request is duly noted, agreed with, and granted.

Please follow this thread to the world of alliances.
