Last weekend Teddy Armstong & I flew
Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy to London for
Billy's big 4-0 Hat Party. It's a surprising good product for only about $150 - $200 more roundtrip than coach. There are pre-departure drinks, printed menus, plentiful food & snacks and a comfy, if not terribly spacious, seat. We flew the old-school version on the
747-400s shown below. The newer seats already installed in the
A340-600s is 3" wider, has 2 degrees more recline and has several inches more pitch. We flew downstairs on the outbound and upper deck on the return. A nice experience with plenty of bonus miles thrown our way.
Teddy enjoyed London very much, even though I fucked up and we missed the
Jack the Ripper tour by 3 minutes - we'll have to do that the next time! Highlights of the trip, other than Billy's party, were shopping at
Harvey Nicks &
Harrods,
Buckingham Palace and the
Tower of London.
