Advantages: Staff, service, amenities, modern planes Disadvantages: Long check in queues
. The queue was even worse than at Heathrow but I do blame this on the airport, the security staff at Boston could learn a thing or two about customer relations. They shout & bark at you as if you were a terrorist!!
Once on board the aircraft, we enjoyed another flight home to the same standard as two weeks previous, again it arrived on time & no luggage was lost. Yes, I would recommend Virgin to anyone, I only wish I had enough money to travel first class as this airline would be my preferred choice.

Advantages: Cheap fares, excellent service, first-class entertainment system, decent food Disadvantages: Long wait times, London-Delhi leg needs major improvement
Who hasn't heard of the almost mythical experience in luxury that flying Virgin Atlantic represents? The Virgin Clubhouse lounges, the on-board massseuse and manicurist, the bar right there in the cabin, the fully reclining beds...the list is endless. But what about economy class?

My father was eager to find out and so booked us on Virgin Atlantic from New Delhi to London on our summer vacation to Europe this summer, and needless to say, we came away thoroughly disillusioned with the Virgin myth. What on earth had all those people who had recommended Virgin raved about? This flight was the pits, and needless to say, I was not too pleased with the prospect of flying back to the US ...
Advantages: None Disadvantages: Boring, Same Old Songs Rehashed, Embarrassing Lyrics
Bryan Adams is unfortunately clutching at straws with his eleventh album and its rather predictable title "eleven". In releasing another album featuring yet more of the same old songs, Adams' record company bosses seem to have had a bit of a panic. Being the eleventh album by Adams, and containing eleven tracks (purposely listing the technical twelfth track "Way of the World" as a "bonus"), Adams' will play it on his "eleven dates, eleven cities" tour this year. Perhaps if this album had any merits worth mentioning I could view this as a clever little marketing ploy; instead, I just have visions in my head of music executives sat round a table going "this sounds just like his last five albums, what are we supposed to do with it?"
The first three tracks are sweet, melodic laid-back little ditties far too similar to songs that most ...
