Excellent
Clean and tidy
Flight delayed over two hours, very little communication from staff then had to wait 2.25 hrs to clear passport control. Had arrangements for evening ruined as a result.
Erything was excellent and easy
More veggie options. Or something healthier.
Pros: The service and patience
Cons: Everything was great
Pros: Great service and comfortable ride excellent staff
Cons: Cannot expect better service
Pros: People were friendly. Flight was comfortable.
Cons: Staff incorrectly assessed documents needed for visas, and told us we were incomplete and needed to return home. Instead of looking up policy, we were denied boarding mid-flight, missed a wedding, and had to spend three days in London instead of our destination. Also, we got bug bites during the flight that turned out to be from bed bugs, which followed us home and caused much frustration for months.

Pros: Being on time
Cons: Nothing you guys did great thank you so much.
Pros: Comfortable seating, pleasant food and entertainment.
Cons: Not being charged $1200 for a ticket that I already bought, but had been voided with no notice. And Virgin Atlantic staff not friendly or helpful in any way with this situation.
Pros: Crew are always top notch, free drinks are readily available and entertainment system is great.
Cons: The food portions and quality have definitely declined over the years sadly, as carriers cut costs no doubt.

Pros: Amazing !
Cons: Nothing all good really
Pros: Crew were super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, comfortable seats, great selection of entertainment.
Cons: Cheaper baggage rates
Pros: I like that there are multiple bathrooms onboard.
Cons: The rows are so narrow between seats that your roll on suitcase will not fit. You have no elbow room in your seat. People who live in England are very rude and would not let those of us seated in front of them to deplane. Too bad there isn’t someway to make people wait their turn.
Cons: Food wasn’t great and not a lot of it. London to Orlando was good. Connection was good.
Pros: I travelled on economy delight, flight was fully packed, yet it felt spacious and comfortable. Lightning was great. Food was yummy! And pilots gave us updates on air travel, and if there were any delays etc.

Pros: Water station!
Pros: The crew

Pros: Seats comfortable. Food was good.
Cons: Information on when we can check in on upcoming flights. Other airlines we have booked for flights will email us 24 hours prior to departure. Virgin Atlantic did not. I had to call and I was directed to their web site and was able to check in on line. Thanks
Cons: The service on Virgin Australia is quite poor. They are barely around. The seats are also only mediocre
Pros: It was a great flight!
Cons: nothing, pretty much perfect!
