Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable
I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼
Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.
Good overall. Cannot fault the airlines. I have had better entertainment systems before ie ice in Emirates but it was not too bad. Food was decent and staff were friendly.
Miami airport needs more thorough signage. It was a long walk from my transport point to the check in desk,
Flight took off an hour late. Had to stay on the tarmac for half an hour after landing. Both annoying.
The crew was very good. However, the equipment was a bit dated. Some of the electronics were not working. To top it, three bags didn’t arrive with me. Two of them were delivered a day later. I’m still waiting for the third bag, I was so looking forward to this virgin Atlantic flight, but, I am disappointed.
My only complaint is that the pocket in front of me was ripped and my things, like iPad and airline magazines, kept slipping to the floor.
Flight delayed yet again. Crew apathetic and unhelpful re affect on connecting flight.
I think Virgin is one of the best flying experiences, especially from/to the UK. The staff are so helpful and fun, the food is good, seats comfortable, goof entertainment and great value. Check in and boarding is pretty pain free. I also find that the other passengers are generally so kind and considerate than when I've flown other airlines.
Flight was delayed an no one cares, or try to help passengers to get the conexión.
The trip was smooth but the crew were very abrupt, snatching things before finished and being quite snappy when asked questions.
Missed this flight due to the first AA flight delay
Our flight was delayed 2.5 hrs due to plane being too hot! After 1.5 hrs, airline decided to use another plane but had to wait for gate, baggage transfer & beverage transfer. Anyone could tell after first half hour that another plane was required and although did not affect us many would miss connecting flights at Heathrow. I have found the stewards are not the friendliest in the industry and the food is questionable, even as I like airplane food normally, the best of the 2 flights was the yogurt & granola for breakfast.
Terrible boarding , Business class seats are sub standard. As usual crew will miss your food too
Just get Economy Plus for international flights, so worth it the extra room, bigger seats…
The return trip was a customer service disaster. American Airlines needs an overhaul of how they treat their customers.
It was my fault choosing the seat nearest the entrance but it was ok.
I was placed in a seat assignment that I was unable to change prior to the boarding day. I showed up hours before boarding and prior to boarding I asked if I could be moved to sit next to my children. Without even looking or checking, I was immediately told that it was not possible to move anyone. I went ahead and waited until boarding at which time I sat down next to my children anyways. When the passenger that was supposed to be sitting next to my children showed up, he was very understanding, and immediately asked me if I was sitting next to family, to which I replied “yes,” after which he said “it’s okay” to let me know that I can continue sitting in his seat, while he takes my seat. However, in a very contrasting and rude manner, the very person that I asked earlier, if I could be moved, that was sitting at the gate prior to boarding the airplane, showed up across the other side of the aisle, and started screaming across the airplane, where everyone could hear, to have me move out of the seat I was currently sat in, or else she would remove me from the plane, during which time the other passenger told her (the American Airlines worker in charge) that it was okay, and he doesn’t mind that I was in his seat, making her aware that I was next to family, which is where I belonged. There was no complaint at any given time by anyone, including the passenger whose seat I was in, but my safety and my children’s safety was now in danger because of an American Airlines worker, that has no regard to her surroundings or the situation that she was actually facing. The importance and clarity that was predominant in her mind, was for me not to sit in any other seat, other than the one that I was assigned, not next to my children, even though the flight was booked for all of us at the same time. I understand it isn’t always possible to make certain seat assignments together, but when a passenger with the assigned seat next to my family is OK with me switching out with him, I would think the American Airlines worker in charge should not care, unless she considered a threat, but if I was a threat, I should have been removed from the airplane at the first sign. I was aggressive, I never raised my voice, but I did for a few seconds delay, my calculated response when I was asked to move. The passengers surrounding us were in awe of the way that the American Airlines worker in charge handled this situation, and pointed out that many other passengers in that very same airplane, just prior to our “event” had switched out their seats assigned, but I was singled out, possibly because I had requested this prior to boarding the plane. This made me wonder what kind of company American Airlines really is, and has since altered my newfound opinion of this company as a recent. I am very disappointed with American Airlines due to this event that has happened during boarding and prior to flying out on a trip I booked for my daughter that just turned 16 years of age, and her first time flying at the age of emancipation with her father.
On time flight , great service from crew , comfortable and enjoyable
