Hi sorry to bother you has anyone flown to Florida with virgin have been before with first choice and airtours and have upgraded but have never flown with virgin.We are on the large side and wondered what the comfort is like we chose virgin as our travel agent said they were the best to go to florida with but there upgrades are crazy money especially for a 9 year old.We will be flying from glasgow first then from gatwick would really appreciate any info.

We have flown to Florida twice on Virgin Atlantic and have had no complaints. Cabin Crew are fantastic & seat back TVs have enough choice to keep everyone occupied, a chice of about 10 films, TV programmes and music - I really like the channel that shows you a map of where you are flying over, how far/long you've been flying/til you land etc.
Flying economy you know you're not going to have masses of room, but we've found the space satisfactory. I'm 5ft 8 and found I can almost (but not quite) straighten my legs out in front of me, albeit with my feet/bottom of shins pointing under the chair in front.

Just to add, we've been happy enough with Virgin Atlantic that we've booked to fly with them to Las Vegas and home from Los Angeles next year - longer flights than to Orlando )which we're not looking forward to much) but feel if we've got to do it then on Virgin is the way to go, for us anyway.
