I used to also love flying Virgin. But the last few times, they've become a bit "Essex footballer's wife's", if I may say so. They're still very good compared to most of the competition, don't get me wrong. Just that they used to be real cutting edge and they're not anymore. At least the airplanes are normally in good shape.
Air New Zealand is my new favourite as they remind me of how SAS used to be in the early 90's - clean, minimalistic and stylish. ANZ have great food served on small uncluttered trays - quality over quantity. And the power outlet on every seat, even in economy, is a godsend for those of us who have to work on the computer.
The less said about
some of the BA fleet, the better...
