Is Virgin Atlantic a good airline?

I am thinking about flying from JFK to Heathrow next month and found an amazing round-trip deal with Virgin Atlantic. I have never flown with them before, and while most airlines offer similar quality, I want to be sure they are not like Spirit or Frontier. Has anyone flown with Virgin Atlantic? If so, what was your experience? Would you recommend them?

I would prefer it over British Airways. Only because it is cheaper

Yes, Virgin Atlantic is generally a good airline. I’ve used it before.
Of course, experiences can vary, so it’s always a good idea to check recent reviews and consider your specific needs when choosing an airline.

Hello Hamilton, their service and cuisine are great! I purchased the tickets a little too close to the departure date, so I’m flying Economy Classic, but I’ll look at Economy Plus for future flights.

Hello, I believe it is among the more genuine PE goods available. It is unquestionably superior to Lufthansa or AC’s PE, and I prefer it a little more because it offers superior soft products than UA.

Another thing I enjoy is that, despite the hefty costs, there’s generally a lot of availability, which makes trip planning enjoyable. The fact that you won’t have to stay an extra night or end your trip sooner than you intended is worth the additional cost, in my opinion.

Excellent airline; my experience flying with them was positive overall last year. They do have a tendency to be a tad costly. However, I had to cancel my departure flight, and the ticket insurance I was given hardly covered the cost of taking an Uber to the airport. For this reason, I advise against purchasing it.
