The bar has less drink available than before, the IFBT is ONLY available on LHR flights,m NOT LGE or MAN flights and have you trieds to sleep when the drunks are sitting at the bar on west to east flights talking loud???

they are only cheerful on the east to west flights, on the way from west to east they are the most surley group who want you asleep or out of their hair ASAP. Young aircraft?? not that young Average IFE out of LGW and MAN, no better than charter airlines

They have the worst performace than any other airline

Better sterile but good service than Virgin cutting back on the service all the time! Though I am not enamoured by BA's service either.

Yes, nasty passengers! how dare they attack the excellent service of Virgin! they all are competitors or people with an axe to grind, cannot be the disgracefull service of Virgin. And that nasty pro Virgin website V-Flyer, taken over by the enemy, why else would the pro Virgin posters there attack such a winderful service as cardbaord ameinity packs, diminution of the quality of UC service.
Could not be that even they, the most pro Virgin people around have actually had enough of the reduction is service being provided by the bean counters at Virgin accounting????
