Airlines of the World and Russian ...

Constantly I am committing flights from London to San Francisco. Very convenient route, no delays. Flights are always timely. Returning then to Russia, I can see how far behind in terms of service, even well-known aviation giants.

During the flight, the plane almost got into a zone of turbulence, which once again proves the professionalism of the pilots and the general training of staff to resolve panic.

Nice to know that the company is not in place and continues to progress for the better. Good luck to you!

Flight delayed at 15 minutes. Airplane, though not too big, but very cozy. I got a good place, passengers peacefully snuffle around. The silence was such that even if a fly flew all to hear. Issued to all blankets, brand new, beautiful. Very pleased that flew with them. When planting filmed everything on video right out of the window. How nice, in a word!

I traveled with Virgin Atlantic Airways many times and on a two-week vacation, of course, I did not change my habit. Twice a year I fly to the Caribbean islands and 1 times I flew with VA. The British, unlike Virgin, completely disappointed me, despite their advanced status and advertising. The staff on board are rude, perceive you as an enemy and from every question are annoyed. Virgin Atlantic is much better! If you fly with it, it feels like a holiday starts right on the plane. The staff is well trained, they fulfill all your requests with joy. I only once asked to set up my monitor and all ran. Something was pushing, picking it up as a result, they transferred me and my wife to the business class, because there were no seats in the economy, and the system did not work out. Service is worth the money that you give. Good interior lighting, stunning entertainment and convenient places. There is one minor drawback - a small thickness of pillows. Of course, the plane is not a hotel, but I would like to have the pillows a little thicker. Good food. Although one passenger complained that her child wants pizza, but she does not. It was difficult for her to explain that there was no restaurant on board and offered nuggets, pizza, hamburgers, etc. For every child with a different taste they can not. Excellent airline, I recommend.
