  • Nate casually mentioning he would happily pay $1000 to lay flat would not have happened years ago 😂.
  • @worldtraveler84
    I’m actually OK with giving critical feedback on things that cost money. People pay a lot of money in a lot of different ways to be in those lounges. I would have expected to be eating on real plates to. 👍🏾 Also agree about the wifi being free for business and first class. For kind of the same reasons as the lounges.
  • @Zz2424zxcvbnn
    Kara felt the need to defend her critiquing as not being snobbish, but it’s completely unnecessary. Anyone who’s ever watched their channel knows she’s the sweetest and most down to earth person ever. It’s part of her job to give an honest critique of the services they receive.
  • @joemichaelobrien
    As a British guy, I'm absolutely living for Kara's British accent! This needs to become a thing! Kara on behalf of the UK we adopt you as our own!
  • Virgin Atlantic is the best business class I’ve ever flown. The arrival lounge is great to wait in until check in time, the fact that you can shower after a long flight is amazing. The staff always is so nice and I love their seats. I think they are very comfortable. They used to have free wi-fi in business class but now for some reason they don’t offer it anymore. They also used to have a tea cart, the British style and before landing they would serve you tea, scones and sandwiches and it was the best experience ever. I hope they are going to bring it back.
  • The Kara swirling champagne while complaining about the plastic cutlery is absolutely the attitude we all need in 2024! Gotta know your worth! LOL
  • @shanemooon
    You guys should have done this the other way around haha. Virgin Upper Class check-in experience and lounge at LHR is on another level.
  • @acciosimmer6470
    My daughters grade 4 teacher used to be an airline attendant and she is absolutely incredible as a teacher I think because she’s so used to adults acting like children 😂
  • @helencoolen7698
    I did this exact journey coming home after Christmas - I was just in that lounge! For what it's worth, the Clubhouses are VERY nice. The Heathrow one is excellent (and NO plastic cutlery or paper plates and very, very free-flowing champagne).
  • @AirplaneMan10
    The way Kara shows the seat on plane is so incredible
  • @suzanneng5326
    Don’t worry Kara, a lot of us would feel extra spicy if someone dented our suitcase in front of us 😂
  • @MattNav
    Awesome job as always Kara and Nate! I definitely think that next time you should try VS departing from LHR as that gives you not only access to Heathrow's swanky Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse (with its rooftop garden) but also the Upper Class Wing private check-in facility if you arrive into Heathrow by car (bypasses the main terminal for check-in and security). Also I learned that booking VS via Flying Blue miles cuts down on the taxes and fees that Virgin charges compared to Flying Club points
  • Love love love when Kara was rating the entertainment on board and when she zoomed in on the map it was Newfoundland!!! Yay!! Definitely a must do province for you all to do says your Newfie follower!! Lots of beautiful scenery, great people and the most amazing adventures to go on!!!
  • @theresachan4896
    Last summer I travelled for 4 weeks. I loved every moment of it but boy was I tired!!! You guys are amazing!
  • @robinbeisel702
    Love the hand sanitizer & jetlag part at the end ❤relatable haha 😊 BTW my 70 year old dad did ragbrai by himself after I showed him your video of it ! Shout out to Ray & thanks for the inspo!
  • @kristilucia3491
    Love your travel ratings so much!! Even though I won't ever fly on these luxury flights, I can enjoy them through your experiences!
  • @GG-qm7zb
    Virgin Departure Lounge at Heathrow is incredible. Hope you get to try it out. Plus they have their own drive up access & private security lane.
