Virgin Atlantic: Special Meal Service - LHR to JFK

Our bird awaits - the A330-300 - to whisk us away to London (from JFK). Though not the latest aircraft - technologically, you’d want the A350 or A330neo, it still does the job and the comfort onboard is quite satisfactory.

Tasty and enjoyable plant-based meals from Virgin Atlantic — likely the best I’ve had in any cabin.

Pictured: The vegan veggie curry (the curry itself is nestled beneath the rice, in case you’re wondering ☺️), and prior to landing, the vegan afternoon tea which included a delicious chickpea wrap, an apple and elderflower bar, and a chocolate brownie; both gluten-free as well (just really thoughtful catering). And all served by some truly friendly flight attendants (makes quite the difference).
Plus, extra marks for having oat milk! onboard (again, a good example of keeping one’s finger on the pulse of changing attitudes). 🙌🏿

[Honorable mention to KLM who also had a decent offering on a flight I took last summer].
