What makes VS is the cabin crew. Whatever class you're flying they just do their best and it's so much better than anyone I've flown with! They will do their very best to do what they can fpr you.
No, you have to ask and hope they have been loaded. the toothbrush and toothpaste are in cups in the toilet, a toilet which whilst supposidly for UC pax only, seems to be available to all passengers. Rather like the Clubhouse these days. Fly with VH and you can obtain access to the clubhouse for something like £35.
I have found on east to west flights the Cc are superb, if they have a full compliment, but these days the Senior member does not come up and welcome you by name any more as they used to do, in fact many times, they are too busy filling in somewhere else on the plane I think, due to less crew now being on board?
On west to esat the attitude of the crew is not as good as it used to be. This and I am sure will either be agreed by VS staff on here or not, is due to the demands of the job these days and the short time available in the USA between flights.
