Virgin Atlantic VS900 London Heathrow to Tokyo Narita *Full Flight*



公開日: 2013/01/18

Sorry for the long delay in uploading this, this is the return journey of the previous video if you had watched it. Some details are instead of the A340-600, today was an A340-300 with the registration G-VFAR, "Molly". Taken from seat 63A VS900 departed for Tokyo on December the 29th. From the shaking camera during the rotation and the ailerons being raised, the takeoff was very turbulent, and I was being thrown about my seat due to the vigorous rudder action. The flight however was smooth, along with Virgin`s high standard service. After 12:15 minutes of being in the air, the A340-300 descended and once again, entered cloudy, damp air, and made a smooth "Airbus style" landing at Tokyo Narita International Airport. I was lucky as usual, to have the opportunity to enter the cockpit and take a few photos.
Overall the flight was really good (and the cheapest out of the 4 competitors flying this route!) and I definitely recommend Virgin Atlantic to all travelers bound to the UK, only criticism is Virgin`s A340-300 fleet still don`t have On Demand Entertainment....



Virgin Atlantic VS901 Tokyo Narita to London Heathrow *Full Flight*

Once again I was onboard G-VFAR, "Molly", like last year and this time it was for the outbound flight headed to London. Taken from seat 63K VS901 departed Tokyo on December the 15th. Flying time was 13:00 hours due to headwinds and the hold at Lambourne at London Heathrow. This is one of the longest flying times between Tokyo and London as far as the pilots knew. Some pretty nasty weather upon arrival into London (surprise surprise...) and you can see that the cloud base was very low, winds were strong and there were a couple of windshears (listen to the engines powering up high to compensate for the lost airspeed)
Overall it was a great flight but same response as before, the entertainment is the oldest system known as the "Oddessy", which is one of the very first PTVs in the world, as a result it wasn't on demand and the choices of films wasn't that great.
