Virgin's premium ecomney v first choice premium service

[plutomad]

Hi there people.
I am undecided wether to go with virgins pe again ( i love it last time) or to try out first choice premium service which apparently is similar to virgins. I have, for a bit of fun, done a poll to get you thinking:rotfl: . Also, i would like to hear your thoughts on the both services pro/co
nms etc

We`ve never flown with First Choice so I cannot vote on this one but I would be interested to hear the views of others.
We normally fly PE [with the occasional upgrade to UC courtesy of my FC miles!] and they would take some beating IMHO.

Nether flown PE with either of them. I would say FC would be cheaper and they are a very good airline as i have flown economy with them. Flown with both and would fly with both again. I would say Virgin offered a better service though :shrug:

Well we shall be flying FC in about 3 weeks, Premier Star Class.

On paper there is not much to choose between the two - a couple of inches seat pitch and better luggage allowance - but we shall see.

The FC option is roughly half the price though.

Another big plus is FC will be operating Bristol to Sanford from Feb 2007 which means no more 210 mile trek to the airport for us!

Having flown both i can say that hands down Virgin wins, the FC premier cabin is overated. The meals are ok, the seats the exact same width as economy with just a few inches more leg room, you also have the mood lighting which is very nice but not worth the extra in our opinion. Also we were separated coming home from the Caribbean in August, not impressed.

Virgin anytime, seats bigger, better, food the same, however you dont get a welcome champagne on FC.
