Service was night and day compared to the return leg. Basically we have had far superior service on Easy Jet & Ryan Air than we had on this cattle class flight.
We were delayed because some idiots decided to have an extra drink and of course once they boarded there was no luggage space available for them so along came the crew and squeezed all our bags together and I mean tightly together so they could load on their multiple carry on's. Why FFS can they not abide by their own rules and limit people to what they're entitled to?
There is no amenity kits provided anymore and after 7 years of flying "cheaper airlines" you quickly wonder what we're paying the extra for to Virgin, oh yeah they have an almost monopoly on this direct route
Any way to the positives, we boarded Jersey Girl and had at least an improved IFE compared to last time although the touch screen was incredibly unresponsive we did have a half decent choice of movies.
Back to the negatives, the flight crew were absent for large portions of the flight and so getting a drink was nigh on impossible and before anyone asks I don't do alcohol on flights.
Anyway return flight to follow...
