Must say flying Virgin irritates me, whats with all this pally wally business from people you don't even know. The best flight I have had in the last 12 months was to Japan (NRT) in star class on JQ. CC were excellent, seats were comfortable, food was very good (where do they get those meat pies, never had one like it before) and the flight deck comments were informative and up to date. Same coming back to the Goldie, different crew, but kind and helpful. Definitely better than QF J class, where the staff were bored, the food was good, but being on staff travel, the staff made little effort with us. So different to JQ.
