That's the airline I'm using, I'm not the virgin....
Thinking of booking a weeks trip in Feb and just wondered about a few things.
What kind of route would we fly out of Heathrow to Hong Kong? I don't mean the SID but the actual route itself. Someone mentioned a 'Great Circle' route via the Arctic but I can't seem to fathom that? Would I get a view of the Himalayas (Everest?) or any of Russia? Window seat permitting of course!
I think it will be an A340-600 which I'm secretly quite excited about, a HUGE airplane and a full service airline instead of a LoCo which my budget usually restricts me to! Anybody have any experience of Virgin Economy or Premium Economy? I'd like to know if you think it's worth the extra?
And has anybody been to Hong Kong? Any general tips or recommended places not to miss?
Edited to add: What's the best time of day to fly out? Seems options are either afternoon flight arriving at middayish, or evening flight arriving early evening. Just thinking in lines of body clock etc!
Thanks in advance!
