Hi,

The last time I have travelled economy on VS was last new year on LHR-BOS. Did notice the no menus but service and aircraft were good and clean.

Since then it has been PE and UC (upgraded) while UC on LGW aircraft is not as good as on the LHR aircraft it is still excellent.

In PE I have noticed on one flight the wine being served out of a main bottle rather than individual bottles ( refilled no problem ) and I tend limit my alcohol intake on flights. I also noticed the smaller amenity kit on the return flight from the US to UK.

Economy queues have been longish ( about the same as other transatlantic airlines) but being VS FC Silver ( now gold) I use the shorter PE/UC check in.

Lounges excellent as usual.

Combined with a very generous FC programme ( full milage in Economy compared to 25% milage with BA) VS has been god (good) to me ( economy seating could do with a bit more space though)

Aircraft have always been clean.

Regards
TBS
