I flew with VS on new years day to JNB, and came back with SQ via SIN in F. I was impressed and like a few of the VS elements that have found its way into SQ service. However it appears that another element has crept in. SFO-LHR was 10.05 flight time, now 09.45. That 20 minutes is critical to a lot of companies, who have 10 + policies for J class travel. As I see it VS have changed thier flight time to match BA, and as a result I have to sit in the nosebleed seats - or fly with UA in a 777 that takes 10.40
I am just a pax, so my opinion counts for nothing
