Hi there, I never intended to post when I signed up, but I would like to on this thread.
I am quite nervous when it comes to flying, not to the point of telling anyone, just inwardly bricking it. This is why I enjoy reading the forum as you get an informed reason of things happening like landing gear bangs on take off etc. Thanks for all the sensible advice you guys give.
Anyways, earlier in the year we (me and dearest) flew with Virgin from Gatwick to Vegas on a 747 which having never been close to one before filled me with dread. It was the best flying experience I have ever had from start to finish. We were to the rear of the plane, and the service was top class, really friendly and helpful crew. I can't even say the food was bad, as it seems is most peoples impressions. I left that plane feeling like we had known these people as friends and that made a huge difference to the rest of our holiday.
Keep it up guys, look forward to flying with you again next year!
