Cunard Queen Mary 2 QM2 Winter Atlantic Day By the late 1940s and into the 1950s, the number of transatlantic liners working the route from various parts of Europe to the United States and Canada had grown to almost 60 a week.

Virgin Atlantic: 10 minutes from check-in to lounge put to the test

…n Terminal 3 and then there is a special passage that leads to a dedicated Virgin Atlantic security station and so usually no queue. You then come out next to the general security area. This is the first time you come into contact with the madness that is Terminal 3. From there to the stunning Virgin lounge (see the posting on this and my photoset) does not take long. The Virgin seats, which quite a few airlines are now using, are good as they giv…

I Cruised On Virgin Voyages To See If It Was For People Like Me

…, gratuities, fitness classes and water, sodas and juices. Growing up with Virgin It also struck me that Virgin is a brand that people around my age are the generation that grew up with them. We were young as Richard Branson emerged and took on established brands and broke the established rules – and we lapped it up. So, was it more likely we would want to be there on their cruise line, even more so than younger generations? With all that in mind,…

Virgin America Reviews. First Class Review With Photos.

…standard as at any airport. There is no lounge unless you pay $35 for the Virgin Atlantic lounge that opens at noon. Once you step on board things are different. The staff is casual and informal, calling passengers “guests”. You also notice instead of a solid wall there is a see through pink/ red see through panel. You also note that all seats are leather. White in first and black in main cabin. The first seats are large and comfy. They recline a…

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Heathrow, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I got an email from Rachel that said: “I saw your photos and write up on the Virgin Clubhouse at Heathrow after Googling! It looks fab. We are going to NYC next month and I’m wondering whether it’s worth treating ourselves before we fly – Virgin are asking £60 each for access. We fly from Terminal 3, is that where it is? And is everything (food, drink, massage, haircut(!) e…

12 Tips For Choosing and Making the Most of a Transatlantic Cruise Crossing

…the journey itself. Purists will insist that you should never call a transatlantic crossing a “transatlantic cruise”. Especially if you are undertaking one of the scheduled crossings that Cunard run on their magnificent Queen Mary 2. A cruise is when you sail between many ports and is more about the destinations, while a crossing is where the journey itself is the whole experience.

Got this email from “Richard Branson” about the review that Virgin Atlantic is doing about the future on the in-flight therapists on their Upper Class service. Although it is a review, I guess we can assume they are going. I always thought it was a slightly strange idea, and never in all the times I have flown Virgin ever used them. Though I know some people think they are a great idea. But it did seem like one extra crew and space being used tha…
