The first leg of my trip to the United States was a flight from Mumbai to London on Virgin Atlantic. My flight was at 3 a.m, so I was at the airport around 12:20 a.m. This gave me ample time to check-in without any hassle. The check-in staff at the counter was polite and completed the process under a few minutes. The flight got delayed by 40 minutes, which was due to technical issues. When it was time to board, I quickly got in line to be flight. I like the flamboyant shades Virgin Atlantic has in their cabins. It makes me chuckle every time I see the colors. There was a staff welcoming all the passengers, while other crew members were busy prepping for the flight, and helping guests in each cabin. I was on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft with a 3-3-3 seat layout. The 79 cm seat pitch in the economy cabin had plenty of space to move my legs. Since there wasn't anyone next to me, I was able to get some extra stretching. In their economy cabin, Virgin Atlantic offers a red blanket and a small pillow to get cozy during your flight. The seat had an adjustable headrest, which I found comfortable. I’m a fan of their touch screen entertainment, especially the flight tracker. Their In-Flight Entertainment had a variety of options to choose from and keep you occupied during your long flights. The safety video displayed conveys all the important messages while still being funny. After takeoff, I got served a delicious vegetarian calzone and some orange juice. I kept myself occupied watching a movie called Long Shot for a while and got some sleep. Since this was a night flight, the cabin remained dark with dim lights most of the time. And, there was nothing much to see outside. Every seat is equipped with a 3.5mm jack to connect your headphones. This helped me connect my earphones and enjoy the entertainment. There are USB plugs by the seat to charge your devices. I had requested for a Vegan meal during my booking, and I was served one during my flight. The meal had some beans, veggie patty, hash-browns, salad, and a muffin. The simple meal didn't really satisfy my palate. The cabin crew was fast and courteous with their service. An hour before landing was the best part of my flight. I happened to see the gorgeous orange shades in the sky created during sunrise. The almost ten-hour flight came to an end with a smooth landing. I booked m trip with Virgin Atlantic because they were the flight that I enjoyed traveling the first time I visited the United States back in 2017. Since this flight got delayed, it created a chain of unfortunate events after disembarking the aircraft. I'll try to share about that in my upcoming videos. Overall, I had a nice experience while traveling on this flight, even with some letdowns. Virgin Atlantic has flights operating between Mumbai to London at reasonable prices. Do consider flying with them when you travel.
