And as a counter, I've always been so very impressed by Cathay staff but felt Virgn was a little too cool and quite sloppy in attitude & service.
In the very imprtant longhaul open snackbar comparison, Cathay is superb while Virgin is simply an oatbar, which aint great on a 14hour flight
Have flown Cathay for over 6 years now and on a number of occasions felt the burning need to pen a letter commending cabin crew for a range of small but impressive details they have picked up on.
Not once for Virgin have I done this (let alone BA First & Biz whose CC feel like the certain characters from Carry On films)
Re the beds as a 6'4' I actually find CX longer and easier to sleep in than both VS and BA. Seems to be an extra inch or so which actually makes a difference to me to strech out. Agree on seeming narrow at seating angle but at lying shoulder level is no problem
SQ I havent flown for years as I've never been tempted to move from CX
CX pls contact me for my next upgrade voucher
