The flight is clean, food good and the staff are excellent! Very professional, polite and accommodating. The seat itself is really mediocre. Can’t believe there is not inch of storage space. Believe it or not it there is not place even to put away your phone or pen!! Very very surprising and terribly inconvenient. No coat hanger hook either. Had to give it away. ALL IN ALL VERY INCONVENIENT business class seat compared to their peers. What is even more surprising is that this on their relatively new fleet of Airbus A350-1000. I was having com platelets different expectations of Virgin and this has disappointed me. Everything else is just as good and as you would expect from Virgin!

    When you get flights to Delhi from London, you can choose from a range of airlines that prioritise sustainable travel. For example, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air India all operate sustainable programs to ensure they are doing their part. British Airways retired its fleet of 747s, which consumed more fuel, and replaced them with A350s and 787s which are about 25-40% more efficient. Virgin Atlantic is increasing its use of sustainable aviation fuels to help reach its net zero carbon emissions target. Similarly, Air India is reducing the amount of single use plastic on its flights, such as cutlery, and replacing it with eco-friendly wooden cutlery. It’s always a good idea to compare the airlines before you choose one so that you can see which one offers the best sustainable options for the route you’re taking.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from London to Delhi?

    There are several ways in which you can make your flight from London to Delhi more eco-friendly. Opt for an economy seat rather than a business seat as this has a far better fuel efficiency rating per person due to there being more people in the economy cabin. The extra services and amenities in Business Class cabins, such as reclining chairs, also use up a lot more energy than those in Economy Class cabins. It’s also better to fly in the day, rather than night, due to the impact of condensation trails. These form during every flight but at night they create a thicker thermal layer and therefore warm the atmosphere more. You should also look to fly direct, rather than indirect, as this means less fuel is required for the journey. Also, due to the fact you’ll only take-off and land once which is when the highest fuel consumption is, you'll use less energy to get to your destination.
