  • It's Travel Day, so fly with me taking off from London Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic Flight VS3 flying and landing in New York at JFK Airport where upon disembarking the aircraft I discovered one of the wheels had snapped off! Should I be compensated? Do I have a CASE? I flew Virgin Atlantic Economy to see if Virgin Atlantic are still as good as years ago or are they no longer leaders in the aviation industry, have other Airlines taken the lead such as Jet Blue? Let's find out...

    We’ve always used Virgin, generally from Manchester but occasionally from Gatwick or Heathrow. Always rated them, they were different and they used the 747. We were so proud to sit at Vegas or wherever and watch ‘our’ 747 taxi in - people stopped what they were doing and just watched it. Sadly no more though, like the airline their planes are just more of the same. I’ll still use them given the chance but the magic has gone.
    Many moons ago we sat in Burger King at Manchester airport gorging on burgers before our flight - never liked airline food. On the table next to us was our flight crew doing the same. The cabin crew walked past, did a double-take, stopped and asked them what they were playing at ! One of them answered ‘well we’re not gonna eat the rubbish you dish up’ ! 😂😂

    Hey Lee great vid loved it, I hope that you are doing better after your hospital appointments. When I saw the title I though that you meant that a plane wheel had come off, would certainly not be good! I do agree that quite a few airlines have made cutbacks, have experienced this with short haul flights around Europe. I would recommend that you fly United trans Atlantic, My family and I have flown United for many years now. I'd say that flying into Newark is cheaper, but less convenient than JFK.
