BA or VA

[AdeTuono]

Ignoring the debate as to whether Premium Economy is 'worth it', given a choice of BA or Virgin Atlantic for the London/NYC flight, which one would experienced PH'ers choose? There's nothing in the price, and both airlines fly at or around the time we want to go.
What do you reckon?

There's a nice fountain in T5....

Virgin

Not...

We've always flown Virgin and never had an issue to make us want to try BA.

VA P/E is superior to BA in all areas apart from food IMHO.

VA all the time for me.

VA for the flying, although T3 is a bit st and crowded (or have VA moved to T4 now?)

No still at T3 but Virgin have done their checkin area up quite well.

[AdeTuono]

Well, that's pretty unanimous; better get it booked then. Cheers

If you're going PE then definitely Virgin because the seats are better - especially if you go upstairs on a 747-400.

[Puggit]

Can I be pedantic and call it VS instead?

And as per above, Virgin PE is judged to be the better by a long way.

BA all the way. Virgin is tacky, gimmicky and crass. The choice of the chav.

[Matt..]

I flew BA to Boston last year. Never again.

Which class were you flying in and to where?
