Advantages: Gets you to where you want to go with a little bit more.

Disadvantages: None

Richard Branson has certainly out done himself with this unique and friendly airline! When you first arrive at the airport you are normally excited about your flight and so the check is normally a downer. But not on Virgin, you are through the checkin and on the flight before you no it and the service is great from the minute you step aboard. The stewardess are waiting to help and make you journey a pleasent one. The food is good (for plane food) and the entertainment is excellent. There is about 20 channels and a games channel. Saftey is of course first priorty and Virgin have not had one crash in the history of the airline.
An alround brilliant way to travel.

It appears you have only travelled with them once or a couple of times. The fact that they have had only one crash is probably due to the fact that (in worldwide terms) they are a very new and extremely small airline. They only fly to around 22 destinations and some of those are not daily services. What Virgin does have, though, is an excellent marketing department. You will find that your experience is very similar of other airlines but you probably haven't flown enough to be able to compare thoroughly. I have flown long-haul over 50 times (it is my job) and have had good and bad experiences on most airlines. It tends to be a bit of a lucky dip. Incidentally, the fact that you are processed quickly though the airport from check-in to boarding is not entirely due to the good works of Virgin Atlantic. It has a lot to do with the BAA ground staff and how efficient they are.
