This video is perfect for people who have never been on a flight before and don't know what to expect, and also for those who have been on flights but find them oddly fun/relaxing like myself...thanks for such a thorough video!

Now THIS is a proper trip report! Most videos on youtube just have the camera pointed out the window for the entirety of the video..

I just flew on Virgin Economy with my family! It’s awesome! Our menu had pasta with sausage and a chicken meatball dish :D for breakfast they gave us an Aussie bar and yogurt! It was a night flight and morning flight to London :D

Fins 17 Ive been on virgin Atlantic a lot, never ever disappointed!

My first aviation channel I began to watch was Sam Chui but his channel is kind of average. Of course he have some great flights in 1st class but I don't like how it's staged, and his raptures on almost everything. I think that even when he will fly on Alladin carpet we can expect something like - Ooohhh wow, Alladin Airlines has best on-flight view from all and so on. I have discovered your channel and it's great, there is multipile flight reports from different countries and what I like the most is that you don't comment too much. I can focus on how I may be treated on board as an regular pax. You are doing great job and I'm looking forward for next movies!

I'm in the same boat as you there, I think I alarm bells started for me on one of his Emirates videos (dont get me wrong I love Emirates as an Airline) but the video was so obviously fake and set up and it just seemed like he wasnt really focused on giving honest reviews anymore.

Fuck off with your shade-throwing. Both are completely different channel that have their own way on covering trips. Some may find Sam's deep interaction with flight attendant as fake, some may find Felix and David's candid coverage as boring or anti-social. It's totally up to the viewer to watch what they like, but there's no place on aviation community for shade-throwing and name calling.

To be clear - I'm still watching Sam Chui videos but there are some things which irritate me. Is anybody remember stewardess Leanne from Etihad? I saw that she was feel like a mascot for Sam. I'm just prefer Simply Aviation videos because it's not staged and it's show much more reality. I have the right for opinion, that's all.

Awesome video! My favorite part is when u guys get the food, its always nice to see what u guys get offered from the different Airlines :D good job and summer

David, I Greatly appreciate the fact that the Majority of your flights are in Economy, which is reality for most travellers. I've also come to realize, that we Canadians get bent over pretty good, when comparing our flights with European Fares.

I was on one of Virgin's 747s a few month back, and I think the seats in economy which are that light shade are Economy Delight (Extra Legroom). But I have got to say that Virgin Atlantic is one of the best airlines in the world.

I have to say Virgin is one of the best. I once had a very bad panic attack on a flight due to a rowdy drunken individual. The staff were readily at my side and calming me down, giving me free food and drinks for free. (They come round every hour or so with snacks and drinks) they also dealt with the individual very quickly. They made a horrible occurrence on a flight- a more positive one. For which im so greatful-- well done virgin!!

excellant service from virgin atlantic

I’ve been in Virgin Atlantic Economy before, but it was old and on an A340. The product itself was good but this looked like an excellent economy flight!

I loved spotting Air NZ behind you at LHR - I flew to LAX/AKL on that flight back in March but came home via SFO on VA in premium economy on a 787.

The best part of any flight, for me, is the food, entertainment and positive FAs. Branson has covered it all in aces. A menu, three choices in economy, great food and great entertainment. The FAs seemed energetic, friendly and fun. Looked like a great ride from an unsung hero of the skies, Virgin. Thanks for sharing. It was fun!

The colors like purple and pink are just so beautiful in an airplane like the Boeing 747-9 ! That’s so beautiful!

4:05 Most fun airline safety video EVER and it actually plays on the plane!? Cool!

2:25 love that one world finnair livery.

Great video. My favorite part was seeing Concorde at 6:05 ❤️

Nice video!!! In 6:05 you can see the Concorde down there! Verrrrrry niccce!! :D

Love your channel since you have lots of economy class reports, not like other channels that have many business or first class. I mostly travel on economy class so this is really helpful.

my sentiments entirely! I'm sick of certain other people doing trip reports, one is almost always first class and the other guy is such a baby I think he's going to cry when he gets food he doesn't think is up to his standard or his seat isn't perfect....and he is also mainly business / first class.

Exactly... Understandable, that they don't want to be cramped onto Eco flights 5 time s aweek, so they take Business and First, it is surely much more enjoyable... And we, the subscribers pay for it anyways...

Been waiting for a virgin atlantic trip report for soooo long!!!! Possilby the best video yet! Ive flew with them twice and both times were amazing! Up there with the best!!!

Woah! A bar on a 787, I'm liking it Virgin Atlantic! I'm flying Premium Economy on the Upper Deck of a Virgin 747 in September from Gatwick to Jamaica, really can't wait to do the trip report for it! Never been on a 747, and Virgin's quality looks insane!

Simply aviation.. soon.. you're going to have to change your name to Superb aviation..!! Like fine wine your videos get better and better..! Love the way we get to experience the whole thing.. going to the airport..the airport itself..the ramp and apron view's..and both internal and external views of the aircraft right from taxi to take off.. en route and then landing.. super stuff..! Thanks for sharing..and looking forward to more such super videos.!!

amazing as usual!! I simply love Virgin, great airline!

The food looks amazing! Great review!

I am a very very very anxious flyer and I’m only 14...I don’t know why and it’s very restrictive.i will always go on the plane as I love a good holiday and these videos make it so reassuring 💕

Don't be afraid tho ...flying is saver then driving after all. There also isn't much to go wrong in a modern airplane so the chance of anything bad happening is crazily small (well, if you aren't a fighter-pilot ... ) If you still feel the need to talk to someone tho hook me up (If possible on Instagram @hessen_love_ball

i literally watched this while i was waking up this morning, something great to wake up to

Looks lovely. Well done got me excited for my flight now to NY this is why I fly Virgin constantly fed and watered very generous to their passengers also they use the 787 and have an awesome entertainment system 😊

Fab ice lollies and love hearts I thought I was back in the eighties! excellent review thank you

I love LAX approaches at night. Truly stunning

Thank you for all the hard work you put into these trip reports

Thoroughly enjoyable video. Best aviation channel on KZread 👍virgin Atlantic was good in every aspect especially in their meal service and the frequencies at which the meals are given. Once again , great work team !

Love how quiet you are. So much food!

This video was great! Thank you for making it 😃

Great video again. Customs is always a nightmare in the US

Perfect timing! Doing a Virgin Atlantic 787-9 flight tomorrow from Shanghai PVG to London LHR

Thanks for the reminders of what to expect on a Virgin Atlantic long haul - haven’t done one in a while 😊

Everytime I see there's a new video of simply aviation its like a jackpot

This looks so great I wanted to see how it was before I booked a flight on this plane!thx!

Just flew Virgin Atlantic to and from London in April and loved every minute of it. Only word of advice to anyone traveling to LAX internationally... Try and book your flight so you land in LA before dark because after that they divert everyone to the International terminal. It gets very confusing and that's one of the main frustrating things about landing at LAX at night!

Really nice video, echo many nice to have a film with not just footage of out of the window.

Excellent video. And I feel for you. Los Angeles is my hometown, so I know how much of a hassle it is to get through LAX customs. I ALWAYS avoid it like the plague and choose an alternative airport.

the arriving flights and security area were awful, reminded me of a prison reception area. I arrived there from London at 7pm, from there I went through 2 huge disneyland style queues and then escorted to another area behind a security protected double glass door. I was sat in a detention area!! It was 01:30 when I got out and their only comment was that they needed to confirm my Visa was valid. (I got the visa 6 months prior to the trip from The American Embassy!!) It really spoiled my trip back "home"....I lived in LA for 18 years.

First time I went to LAX was with school when I was 18. Possibly some of the most miserable people I've ever met. Made a competition of it of who could make the customs officer laugh. Was not successful. Leaving wasn't as bad but I'm always quite nervous in foreign countries as I have an insulin pump for my diabetes. Heathrow customs was incredibly chill about it though. Kinda of made me laugh

Great review David, love the 787 mood lighting!

Cool! I like this dreamliner lighting.

Flying with these guys on this exact route next year, thanks for the useful trip report

That looked like a great flight, David! I've heard good things about Virgin. Awesome report, as always/

I love your positive attitude to airline food

I think you will agree with me that VA is one of the beat ways to cross the Atlantic. I flew from the same gate to the same destination and the had the same check in crew and I recognized some of the cabin crew... All of whom were very friendly. I had an amazing seat with great food. Honestly Virgin Atlantic is definitely second best if not the best flight airline I have ever flown on.

Great review! Very honest and unbiased, keep up the great work! 😀

*great video , thank you.*

Thanks for sharing us this amazing trip report! I SUBSCRIBED!

Loved this trip report. I will be flying economy classic in 2 weeks from ATL-MAN. Can't wait.

Going from Manchester airport to tampa in two days from when I am typing this comment! Watched this so I could know what to expect from my virgin Atlantic flight! We also got extra leg room seats so this video really helps!

i love virgin atlantic. i really think they are a great airline. like you said, you will never get bored.

Virgin’s no queues relaxed boarding is super nice. I experienced that at Gatwick.

I find your videos so relaxing. I sit back in my car with the AC on and fly along vicariously. 😃

For someone who is incredibly airsick and hates even thinking about going on planes , let alone being on one, this video somehow made me want to get on an 11 hour flight with Virgin. Great video probably one of the best reviews out there.

Please do an Air Greenland Copenhagen-Kangerlussuaq tripreport!

Nice trip report! Awesome plane. Love the Red-purple mood lighting. Its like you read my mind or something cause I thinking to myself a couple days ago that would be nice to see a trip report on Virgin 787-9 and here it is. LAX looks amazing! I wanna go there. If there is 1 airline I would like to fly on their 747 before they go it would be Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa. Virgin Atlantic send their 747s here to Jamaica eventually gonna be replaced by the a350-1000 but later this year will be placing a332 on the route.

this. flight brings back so many memories. i used to do this flight every year for 5 years. 😍the pandemic separated me and my husband Los Angeles. but i know i will see him again soon

Window seats are move of a detriment to my health than hanging off the wing! Great video :)

Reminds me of the old days flying economy when you go through business and get teased with what it looks like then you jump in your cramped economy seat. Good job on this report. Have to say these economy reports are far more useful to most people as most people fly economy

Heathrow is one of my favourite airports as well

Awesome!My favourite company!

Taking this flight tomorrow :) so excited x

Flew with Virgin to and from my last visit to New York, never been so full on a flight. I had that pasta dish too 😋

Thanks for this. I'm going to be sitting in the exact same seat next month!

Awesome trip report. You had a very good wing view. They served a lot of food on this flight. The legroom is very generous

Going to be on the exact same flight tomorrow! thaks for the preview

I flew on virgin Atlantics' A340 to new York in premium economy, and it was in march too. :D

finally! i’ve been so excited for this

Did your arrive ahead of NZ1 which also was heading to Los Angeles then Auckland.

Love virgin Atlantic flew on there b747 to Orlando MCO and Las Vegas LAS

Love the video! I noticed how quiet Heathrow was idk if that was normal but compared to some of the US airports we have here such as LAX,SFO,SLC(which is the one I fly out of 90% of the time) its so quiet. The US airports I listed they are always loud full of people talking and gate agents making announcements and stuff lol.

Really hope to fly this magnificent beast!

6:05 There is a Concorde! :)

nice view of the conord by take of

Great report i'm very impressed by all the food services that you got. Hope to can fly with Virgin someday. Liked!

Hi, great video, but you cannot compare Boeing 787 as good as Airbus A380 or A360. I've just been on Virginatlantic vs300 London to Delhi. I sat at the last middle seat, I was cramped the isle seat arm rest doesn't come up like on A380 does, I,m 6ft 6in when person recline their seat it comes on my lap, no good for me, thankful to you David, going back to U K, I've upgraded to more leg, Thanks for your video of Boeing's 787.

Was the Piolo monitoring LAX Arrivals/ Who requests the flaps to come down and the seatbelt signs to come on for landing?

Nice one David, I flew Norwegian Air to LAX in April, was the best experience ever! I was gonna take Virgin, but hey. They sure know how to feed you though!

This is really handy for me as I’ve just got my tickets for San Francisco-London next month and the plane I’ll be flying is a Virgin Boeing 787.

Thank you so much it's a great video...😊

Did u record the flight from Stockholm to Heathrow? I would love to see it since I’m from Sweden and haven’t seen a tripreport from there yet.

Another fine trip report.

virgin atlantic really makes sure you're well fed. Nicely taken

Nice. Do they ha e the same food service after Covid outbreak?
