August 13, 2016Champlagnes – TG F, OZ J & F and NH F – Sofitel, Hyatt, Conrad, Hilton
August 18, 2016Virgin Atlantic (VS)
- Flight: VS901
- Class: Business (Upper Class)
- From: Tokyo (NRT)
- To: London (LHR)
- Aircraft: Airbus A340-600
- Date: April 2014
The FA offered to bring me a double espresso with a jug of warm foamed milk on the side, that way I could get it exactly the way I liked. The crew were really on top of their game this day, going the extra mile, adding small personal touches to the service.
The food on this flight was really good. A considerable step up from the last time that I flew VS NRT-LHR, last year.
Onion chutney with blue cheese is a pleasure revealed to me by VS and one which I’ve indulged in at home, ever since my first encounter with it at 35,000 feet.
VS901 also features an afternoon tea service, replete with multi tiered cake stand:
Conclusion
Overall this was a superb flight and a wonderful end to the trip. The crew were really attentive and had a great sense of humour. The IFE had a decent selection of films. The food was spectacular and the seat was comfortable too.
When VS gets it right it is a fantastic experience.
