Virgin Express with a little Stress
Review of Virgin Express by jason.rowe

Advantages: Reasonable Airfairs
Disadvantages: Connection at Brussels

Virgin Express The airline Virgin Express is not exactly the same company as Virgin Atlantic, it is Virgin’s budget sector airline, that I think it is run by Sabena, the official Belgium carrier. This means that you cannot use your Virgin Atlantic Airmiles to buy tickets or use the frequent flyer program to speed up check in, basically they operate a similar service to EasyJet and Go. Last year I bought tickets for four people to Rome ... Read review

Virgin not-so Express
Review of Virgin Express by womble

Advantages: cheap, flexible flying times
Disadvantages: might not be the fastest way to travel!

...thing to note is the Virgin Express is completely different from Virgin Atlantic, if you mix them up, you might be in for a nasty shock! Virgin Express is the 'budget' or no-frills airline from Virgin and the reason that it isn't, perhaps, as well-known as some of the others (Go, Ryanair, Easyjet) is that it is based out of Brussels rather than the UK. There are direct flights to Shannon from London, but other than that, all flights are routed ... Read review

Virgin Atlantic in retreat
Review of Virgin Express by Dalesman

Advantages: Not many now They used to be best UK Scheduled airline
Disadvantages: tends to dislike Northern based regular passengers

...that this Op is in Virgin express section and don't mind it being rated down becasue of this, I already have an Op on Virgin Atlantic in the right place but in I felt it import to associate these additional remarks with Virgin Atlantic here and not Virgin Express which although associated with the Mother Comapny ( Virgin) is actually a separate company operating out of Brussels.... ~~~o0o~~~ Having just got off a Virgin flight from Orlando to ...

The only way to go
Review of Virgin Express by JeffSumm

Advantages: roomy, good food, friendly atmosphere
Disadvantages: availability fills up very quickly...

...airlines. I found that Virgin Atlantic had more room, better food, and better service than any other airlines. Plus, their entertainment system is by far the best. It'll keep the kids quiet and help pass the long hours. The great thing is that now they run all kinds of special offers and are usually one of the best deals around. The drawback is no frequent flier program for the cheap seats, but the lower price usually takes care of that. ... Read review

Londo - Jo'burg - a great flight
Review of Virgin Express by ckmukisa

Advantages: Seat back entertainment, night flight
Disadvantages: Horrible food!!

...was my first flight with Virgin Airlines. I flew with my husband, mother -in -law and 3 month old baby. We were allocated the bulkhead seats so that I could use the "Sky cots" which Virgin provide free of charge, but I kept my baby on my lap for the whole (12 hour) flight and used the extra space to stretch out. The seat back entertainment was good, with a variety of films, programmes and computer games to play, but as it was a night flight I didn't ... Read review

Good,but not that good
Review of Virgin Express by GrahamD

Advantages: Good customer service
Disadvantages: Poor room in the economy cabin, nowhere to rest your head to sleep.

...have recently started traveling with Virgin and must admit I looked forward to their legendary customer service on the transatlantic route. True to form their service was good, on the ground and in the air. From check in onwards the staff seem prep;ared to go the extra mile to make the journey more enjoyable for all. Where I feel Virgin let themselves down is in the area of comfort on board. I am not a little person, especially in the waist ... Read review

The Very Best
Review of Virgin Express by icdavis

Advantages: Great in-flight entertainment
Disadvantages: none I can think of

...fly with. I've only flown with Virgin from Heathrow to NYC twice, but they would be my preferred choice of airline over anyone else. Apart from the trendy yellow or pink bags, which everyone loves, you get your own tv, even in economy. You can choose your own tv channel, watch movies you choose to view, listen to music, and even play computer games! They are punctual, fun, slightly different, and I think they are great. It's just a little ... Read review

You're right to fly for less
Review of Virgin Express by Daveyboy

Advantages: Cheap to fly with
Disadvantages: have to go through Brussels to get to almost all of their destinations

I've flown with Virgin Express a number of times and I've got to say it ... this Brussels based low fares airline has got to be the best in the business. When they say low fares, they really mean low fares and, ok, so the in-flight service doesn't really come to much but I think a drink or two is all one really needs to get through a flight ! Well done to old Richard Branson even though he doesn't own the airline anymore (the Virgin Group still does) ... Read review

A pleasure to fly with
Review of Virgin Express by jonwhite

Advantages: comfortable, good cabin staff
Disadvantages: not enough leg room

...family and I flew with Virgin Atlantic last year to Florida. The flight was superb and we had no complaints. As an individual who dislikes flying and only flies when 'needs must' I found myself at ease on this flight. The cabin staff were great and helped to alay my fears. Their overall professionalism showed through too. The kids thoroughly enjoyed things too with the recent advent of Games channels on the mini TV's and a good selection of films ... Read review

Virgin? What a helpful lot!
Review of Virgin Express by titch98

Advantages: Nil
Disadvantages: Nil

...the airlines we approached was Virgin Atlantic. Right from the start, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and offered free tickets to the little lad and reduced cost for the parents. They have helped in supplying in-flight special needs, as well as promising to make the lad`s journey as pleasurable as they can. It is not often you find a large multi-million company that will do something for nothing, especially going to them direct, as most ... Read review

Review of Virgin Express by lawrensons

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

I first flew virgin back in 1990 and i was as impressed then as I am now - that says a lot. From the moment I stepped on the plane I was made to feel special, the cabin crew have always been so helpful in attending to me and my family. (I have three girls all aged under 5, the cabin crew bring presents and drinks and other goodies for the kids to make your flight as comfortable as possible). The planes too are well equipt with phones, games consoles ... Read review

Virgin-Well done Richard
Review of Virgin Express by Peter00

Advantages: Service, Duty Free, Own film screen
Disadvantages:

I recently took a Virgin flight from New York to London and thoroughly enjoyed it. Normally I get fed up with the film, other passenger noise and generally being stuck in my seat. You can imagine how pleased I was to find that on the flight I had my own film screen, with a wide variety of films to choose from. I could also play games on the screen as well as see where we were on the journey home. By the time I had watched a couple of films and played ... Read review

Miles above the competition
Review of Virgin Express by cascade

Advantages: Personel touches (free drinks etc)Friendly staff
Disadvantages: Cramped seating area (whats new!)

I flew with Virgin to the US earlier this year and I can quite honestly say they were the best airline I have ever flown with.It may have cost me a few extra pounds more than flying with an airline like EasyJet or Britannia but it is well worth it. The only thing that was similar to other airlines was the lack of leg space, but apart from that,Virgin was a cut above the rest. Its just the little things like complementary drinks,your own tv screen ... Read review

Cheap thrills
Review of Virgin Express by inspiralcarpet

Advantages: cost
Disadvantages: nothing really worth mentioning

...an opportunity to fly with Virgin Express from Stansted, for the piffling sum of £75 (including taxes) return. For that price I expected little, but Virgin really delivered the goods. The plane itself was well maintained, and the seats offered a remarkable degree of comfort. Snacks were available on the flight at a price, but they had the decency to throw in a free drink. The skill and friendliness of the cabin crew also put that of some major ... Read review
