ReplyDeleteVirgin playing up? I had a terrific flight to Shanghai with them from their upper class express check in lounge from Heathrow. That sounds like I'm a cock but it was terrific design and service.
Totally inappropriate forum to say so, but think we shared a carriage on Bangkok's MRT earlier this evening?
ReplyDeleteIt's not innapropriate at all Rupert. You should have said hello.
ReplyDeleteFunny sign. If only they could use their smart marketing department in their call centre and customer service area. Seriously wanting in my opinion. Have had a number of problems with them. In saying that, still a good airline to fly.

I think the ads are indicative of the service one could expect.
ReplyDeleteSome low cost carriers have managed to motivate their staff to be different but I don't see much innovation when in fact there's loads of opportunities.
Thanks for dropping by.
