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!

    If you are passionate about sustainable travel, then you should choose a direct flight rather than an indirect one, as these use less fuel due to the route being shorter. You will also only be taking-off and landing once, which is the period of the flight when fuel consumption is at its highest. Flying during the day rather than at night is also more beneficial for the environment. This is because condensation trails, which are produced during the flight, are less harmful to the atmosphere during daytime flights then those at night. Whilst you can also choose an airline that has a modern fleet, such as British Airways, to make your journey more environmentally friendly. This is due to the technology being more efficient which, as a result, produces fewer emissions.
