Time to start a new trip to log a new airline.
But first of all a flight across the channel with British Airways! A week prior to this flight BA started it's new buy on board service. Let's see how it goes....
Total score: 73%
A bit of mixed feelings about the first flight! It started off with a very inneficient security in Brussels with lines just about everywhere. Our Britsh Airways plane was already showing it's age and seats where very cramped. The new Buy on Board was quite ok to be honest. Definate for this short stage of flight

The next part brings us over the pond to San Francisco! Virgin Atlantic offered a good fare to SFO and since VS has been on my list since a while... It was clear that Virgin Atlantic would be the airline of choice.
Total score: 81%
Glad to have finally flown Virgin Atlantic for the first time! A simple word... WOW
From a relaxed boarding till an woinderfull cabin ambience with great moodlighting. Meals on board where tasty en generous as well and a very easy to use IFE interface.. In overall Virgin Atlantic was one of the better carriers out there if not the best to fly over the Atlantic with!

Great reports, Marc.
But is there an interlining agreement between BA and VS?
To make you forget how narrow the seats are?
