    Probably the best start-to-finish review I've ever seen. I loved the detail about getting from the hotel, through the tunnels to Terminal 3. I'll be doing a similar thing in the summer so it was super helpful!

    Another great review, I’ve just come back from our 3rd trip to Orlando following the boarders opening and travelled in upper both ways on the A330-300. My next trip in June is on the A330-300 on the outbound flight and on the A350-1000 on the return flight - which I am very much looking forwards to trying! We usually fly out of Manchester and I’m hoping the virgin upper class lounge opens soon, was due to open spring 2020. Enjoy your time in Orlando!

    Thanks for the ride. I flew VS from Orlando to Manchester and London Gatwick to Orlando in 2019 when the service was still using the 747-400s. Glad I got to fly them before the 744s were retired.

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the comment. Having flown the old 744s in the nose, I have to say the A350 suite is far nicer. Shame there is no bar though!

    Great video! It’s great that Virgin and BA are flying A350’s to Orlando - I didn’t think either would. How did you find the cabin - it didn’t look as opulent as the would have thought? The food looked a great and good to see that Mickey enjoyed the trip 😊

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Před 2 lety +4

      The A350 cabin is good. The seat has more space around it to store things. And it is more private than the suites on older aircraft.

    Hotel transfer information at Heathrow useful….. background music, particularly on travellator good fun…….having been a gold card member of Air France, always hopeful for an upgrade. Guess one bit missing is the cost - unclear if upper class is priced against business for which just the virgin lounge would be good or is it more expensive. Much prefer seating on A350 with window views compared to Dreamliner (?). Ps I enjoy Mickey’s “involvement” …. Sense of fun and recognising any travel is for enjoyment; not just critical review

    Thanks for another great review and props for the UpOp, I found BA were always more likely to upgrade than VS. Must say the lack of mood lighting being on during boarding makes the Upper Cabin not so special.

      One daily flight appears to be on an A350. The second is either an A350 or an A330 depending on the day.

      Who knows why the upgrade happened. Assume for an operational reason. I’ve got status with the airline which probably put me at the front food the queue. I got told about the upgrade in the Clubhouse.

  • @justsomekid33

    Great video, super informative. How was your experience regarding Covid documents? Is it a slow slog with lots of codes to be scanned or a quick check you have the right stuff and off you go? Flying next week after a few years and curious to know how it's changed!

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks
      I used the online scheme to upload/validate my documents. So then just showed the confirmation email at check-in. All pretty straightforward.
      On another flight I just printed everything out and showed it at check-in. A slightly slower process but no real hassle.

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Před 2 lety +1

      If it’s a check-in, there’s a separate desk to check papers before you then go to a check-in desk. They just look at the test result and vaccines certificate - no scanning

    Think a walk around the rest of the aircraft would have been good... I wonder if premium or economy was over sold which led to the Upgrade? Thanks for posting

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Před 2 lety +2

      Upper and Premium were fairly full. Economy not so much. Watching the seat map a few days before the flight, it looks like there were a number of upgrades from Economy, as the front wasn’t so full but the back was.

      I suspect they sold a pair of upgrades from Economy to Premium. As a lone traveller I was an easy person to move to accommodate them sat together. Gold status probably helped!

      @50kevind Před 2 lety +1

      @@DoorsToAuto I think you’ve always got more chance of an upgrade as a solo traveller. The first time I booked direct with Virgin Atlantic they upgraded me at the gate from premium to Upper Class from LGW to Vegas. There were only 14 seats on the B747 as you know so I think I was pretty lucky there. After that I used the miles I accumulated to upgrade to Upper and just paid the additional taxes. Been doing that for about 10 years now. No way I’d fly economy again on long haul
