    Simple.... don't fly Virgin, they will soon change their plans.
    Simple economics of supply and demand.
    Simpy look else where!

    Ok - I know that sounds simple but genuinely there are other options and if you shop around and don't mind an indirect flight you can save every time.

    I know you're right but I prefer direct flights and from Manchester, there's just no competition. Also, I "need" to fly Virgin to qualify for their golf event finals! If I don't qualify this year though, it's indirect for us.

    BA want £260 to pre book 2 seats in club world. Otherwise you have to wait until 24 hours prior to departure to select a seat for free.

    And even when you check in exactly 24 hours prior to your flight there are no seats available (in economy anyway). There were 3 of us travelling and none of us were within 5 rows of each other.

    Thats why I'm trying Delta this year. The UK airlines just keep adding extras on top of the ridiculous tax's which I know they cant help

    Angry

    Virgin are getting worse, we also try to fly direct from Manchester, but we will start looking at other airlines and indirect, we have done this a couple of times because of cost and looks like we will be doing it all the time. BAD VIRGIN!!!! Wish someone else would start flying direct from Manchester and give them some competition!

    Totally agree.....Virgin do not deserve the business!

    BA are streets ahead for service and flexibility.
    Delta & United much cheaper although a longer trip which evens out once you have cleared customs in Washington or Atlanta or ....... in only 10 minutes.
    Orlando customs in December took 40 minutes from a BA flight
