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 from ...
...but to be fair to Virgin Express the price is very reasonable, and you must be prepared to accept potential problems if your journey includes a connection. Delays are not usually the fault of the airline, in this case it was bad weather in Brussels. If I require flights to Europe again, I will definitely check the prices on their website and possibly use them as a carrier if there are large price differences. ... 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 via ...
...a bargain by travelling with Virgin and they certainly offer a wide range of destinations. They fly from Gatwick, Heathrow or Stansted, to Brussels, and from Brussels you are offered a wide range of destinations, including Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Milan, Berlin and many more that I can't remember! The pricing policy is remarkably transparent (for an airline). If you book a little in advance, most flights are £99 if you chose the earliest or latest ... 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 Manchester ...
...of complaints from passengers about Virgin sub-chartering an AIR Atlanta Boeing 747-300 (in Charter configuration) they suddenly found available in September the oldest Aircraft they had in the fleet and sent it up to Manchester to finish off the season.. ~~~o0o~~~ Of course being a member of the Aviation society at Manchester Airport I knew a few months before travelling that we were on this aircraft, and I was not happy with this situation, I ...

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
