Answer 8

I'd say British Airways, they're more professional and have better service and aren't in as much financial trouble, don't have nearly as many delays as Virgin airlines.

Answer 9

I have used BA a lot, and it is OK, but as you mention Virgin, I assume you are going trans-Atlantic.

Take your own sandwiches !

The best one that suprised me a bit was Air India from Heathrow to JFK.

Amazing service, hospitality, smooth flight etc.

I used to travel about a bit, and BA never impressed me.

I wouldn't say avoid them, but ther are many better alternatives about.

Gulf, Lufthansa, even The Doris Barnstormer bi-plane might be better than some BA flights I have endured !

Check around for an alternative.

Answer 10

I've flown both and believe Virgin to be better. BA make you feel as if you should be grateful you are allowed to fly with them.

Answer 11

I'd choose Virgin. Premium Economy is good, if you can afford it. However, whichever airline I used, I'd try to avoid Heathrow.

Answer 12

Brittish by far, im a travel professional and i would rather have clients spend more money to fly brittish then anyother.

Answer 13

British Airways!

Answer 14

British Airways no doubt. Now im not say that Virgin isn't a good airline but in my opinion British Airways is the best airline in the world.

Answer 15

British Airways I would say.

Answer 16

I have flown with both and find that Virgin are much better. The cabin crew are nicer and much more helpful than BA. BA seem to rest on their laurels a bit.
