Hopefully, when the DeltaOne lounge opens there in the next few years, it'll help with some of the crowding issues. This one's definitely been on my list to get to, though.
Hopefully, it certainly needs a little toning down, but we are never fans of just tightening the entry requirements, especially if it means we can't get in lol
We did Upper Class 787 from Heathrow to Seattle several years ago and it was wonderful, especially the Virgin lounge at Heathrow. I even got a haircut there while we waited! Looking forward to the same flight next summer. We really like the bar area on the 787. I can't sleep on flights, so it's nice to have a place to sit, stand and stretch for a while and not be in the way of the crew.
Unfortunately they have stopped the haircuts since covid, but the Clubhouse is still an amazing lounge, probably our favorite "Business" class lounge anywhere - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_bjfo02St8U.html We were really surprised how well the aging 787 cabin holds up. The seats really are not as bad as we feared, and the overall service and experience was still amazing. There are rumors of an refresh, but we kind of hope not as it's nice to have a few options for upper class. We loved the bar as well, there are social spaces on the other planes too but non as cool and "insta" worthy as the bar area! Have an amazing flight!
Interesting comments about the cost. I've flown Premium from LHR to LAX, but have never seen it anywhere near as cheap as £100 over economy. It's always between 60% and 100% more.
Hi, the pricing of Premium is really changeable and quite random, and while down towards £100 per leg is rare, it definitely happens. We have seen it and paid it, even quite recently. It's often more for the return leg, as taxes and fees are lower, and often an obscure time of year, and they do not hang around either. That sort of pricing is far from the norm and the price point you mentioned is more typical, but you can get lucky The image at 1:53 is from 2023 and shows a return from JFK at £75 extra and only £25 more than delight...it happens!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. This is very very helpful. Do you think it would have been better if you hopped on the bus on day 1 and covered the attractions along the way? Because that is what I am thinking of doing. Thanks again.
Yes, that was our plan too. The Bus gives a great overview of the City so you can get the feel of the place. We only didn't as the weather on Day one was really bad, so we waited so we could enjoy it a lot more! Thanks for commenting Steve
They didn't even apologize or act sympathetically. They simply made out we were in the wrong and should be happy with what we got. Honestly won't be staying there again anytime soon.
Honestly, this is more suited to snorkeling than Diving. From the bottom its a bit barren and wastlandy but from the surface it's teeming with life and really fun. There is little in the way of reef so you are just cruising around looking at rocks from the bottom.
Unfortunately we were staying in the City and gave our hire car back as we arrived. As you are planning on using the Hop On Hop Off bus you could look for parking somwhere on the route, outside the center, such as the Museum Campus. Here you will find all day parking from $30 and can use the bus to get into the city center. Be sure you catch the last bus back though or you might have to Uber/Walk back to the car
Oh wow! Little did any of us know when I shot this video the feast would be destroyed in the coming months? So glad you can all watch it back and take some pride and pleasure in what was once so amazing. We are back in West Maui next month heading to the Old Lahaina Luau again to help support the business, we really hope that one day in the future the Feast can return in some form. Endless love and Aloha to you guys out there.
Hi, yeah Battlefield is defiantly more for the tourist shooter. Experienced shooters may find the experience lacking in terms of involvement. But many people in Vegas are just looking to do something they just can't do in their home towns. Battlefield certainly fits that bill! Thanks for Watching!
hey, this video was so helpful for me and my husband, we planning on going to cali next year and we're wondering if the pass was worth it! i think we're gonna give it a try. thanks for compilating this informations
Hi, hope you have a great time. You can read our Detailed Review below. We really do think the pass is worth it, as long as the attractions suit your requirements. But it covers most things people want to do. We had an awesome time! yourusacityguide.com/san-francisco-go-card-review-is-the-go-san-francisco-card-worth-it You will also find a 10% off code in that link too to save even more Have an awesome trip Steve
I agree about the bed being very uncomfortable (I am 6 foot and like to sleep with my knees bent). Much prefer a A350 for night flight and A330NEO for day flight. I never take breakfast on flight and use the revivals lounge for a shower followed by breakfast so I get more sleep. Other trick is to take pyjamas with you from previous flight and change in the lounge as much easier and you can guarantee the floor is dry.
Don't discount the 787 for night flights, the bed is a lot wider and allows more sleeping positions. You lose the privacy, but gain a bar, and on the whole, while it's not as Instagram-friendly, it's actually still a really good cabin. Yep the Revivals lounge is definitely the way to go for breakfast, but as we are reviewing we need to try as many amenities as possible - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RxlgGG3hRQM.html Great tip about the PJ's, even with the best will in the world those little loos onboard can get a bit gross! Have a great flight Steve
Stand in the queue for "anywhere between 2 to 3 hours" only to stand in another queue for the lobster to come out. Must also mention that you have a time limit of only 90minutes. It's not for me!
We are trying to give an honest Review, not everything in life is sunshine and rainbows. People are paying their money they should have the right information to make their choice. Yes flying Upper/Business class at it's worst is still 1000% better than Economy at it's best. But there are other Products and services on the market and people deserve the correct info to make their choice. So we point out the good with the bad, there is a ton of positive in the review, but we don't just gloss over the negative to give a rosy picture to look good on Social Media.

Just keep in mind that if you have at least 1 Little Girl when eating at this Disney Princess Breakfast, be sure that the Girl wears a Princess Dress so that the Princesses can see the Dress.
I agree the bed is comfortable. Having tried the A330 NEO I preferred this bed as on the NEO your legs for someone of 6ft like me can't bend due to the size of the gap they go in under the seat in front. I found it uncomfortable and preferred this or the A350 flat beds.
Hi yeah the new Beds are surprisingly restricted. We loved the privacy but it does mean you feel a little like you are in a coffin. If you get chance, try the A350 row 1 seats, these are even large than the regular ones, yet still the same price, and give you loads and loads of legroom.
When using the $15 Senior Frogs discount, do you need separate checks for each person in your party that has a pass? Does the app have a map showing where all the attractions are at?
This is always one of the most memorable rides for me every year I go! Not only is the cart rolling different directions but it’s always swinging wildly. My dad usually takes my little sister on a kiddie ride while myself at 42 years old and my mom always love riding this! It takes quite a while to complete a full revolution and if I’m remembering correctly you get to take several revolutions as well! Usually it’s a lot less busy than some of the more popular rides but every bit as satisfying! It’s also much more enjoyable than the video! It feels almost as if you’re going to swing off and fall into the water far below! The first and second time can be quite frightening and even the following times you decide to ride! As a glutton for punishment, the first time I rode on it, I stood shaking the pod to and fro which only resulted in freaking myself out more but sometimes you just go with it! My mother of course sat laughing and pleading with me to stop because she swore we were going to end up falling as I had thought. So if you’re a bit timid you might want to stay seated and not eat anything before hand but personally I’ve never had problems with that sort of thing, even as bad as my stomach is. If you get too scared just remember all is well and it’s setup to keep you safe so try and enjoy it! Personally I look forward to riding it again!!!!! It really is a crazy ride!
Unfortunately this IS what the Aria consider a Strip View. While We agree it's a very poor view and not really a Strip view at all, when booking at the Aria this is defiantly what you may end up with when booking a Strip View room! I can promise you, 100% we booked a Strip view and this is what we got!

Worst Travel Advice Ever! Even at their worst, the time spent at us Customs is a fraction of what a landing/Taxi, disembarking, customs clearance, Remabarking, Taxiing out, and another take-off, plus whatever time the scheduling adds on. All to avoid what could be a 30-minute queue at US customs. @@aoifeoxx2134
Hi, Yes this is defiantly a No-Experience type of affair. We were asked about our experience before hand ands explained we had very little, we are pretty sure if you have training they will allow you to handle the firearms yourself. There are plenty of other options in the City too some more geared towards expereinced handlers. yourusacityguide.com/best-shooting-range-in-las-vegas-where-to-rent-machine-guns-in-las-vegas
This is defiantly a Tourist experience, for Ex-Military or anyone with extensive Firearms training, it's going to seem pretty weak. It is really designed for those with next to no experience to turn up, no training, and experience some really serious weaponry. There are plenty of other options in Vegas for those looking for a more advanced experience. yourusacityguide.com/best-shooting-range-in-las-vegas-where-to-rent-machine-guns-in-las-vegas
I loved this ride and I stood the whole time shaking the cart back and forth. I was already freaking out but I’m a glutton for punishment! Talk about adrenaline!!!!
Honestly it depends. In the back you are guaranteed a window seat where as in the front only one of you gets a window seat, but you do get a fantastic view out the front window. The open door seats are a little scary so a nervous flyer would benefit from being in the middle...but maybe this is not the flight for nervous flyers. We wanted to film the whole thing and get photos so both getting the open doors was best. But to just enjoy the experience we think the front is probably best. But really there are no bad seats like in some helicopter tours. We did not really get a choice though, seats were assigned.
Yeah, I hear you, Virgin knows what time they have flights and should ensure there is something available to their passengers. Lounge access is part of the upper-class product and if they have flights at a certain time, even if that is super early or late, they should have the lounge open for them! We would definitely contact customer services as you say, this is not good enough!
What about the service was bad? I'm scheduled to go their next Wed-Sat. If I need to cancel my rooms, what other hotels would you recommend? Thanks and nice video
Hi, The main issue was the fact we were supposed to be in a fountain View Room, and as you can see were not!!! They also treated us very badly and lied significantly, constantly changing the story as to why we were not in a Fountain View room. There was just a sense they did not care. This seems to be pervasive throughout the whole property. The service just seems to have taken a battering. Check-out took 45mins and only 10 of that was queuing (it took over 30mins to fix out incorrect and overcharged bill), Coctails were horrible and a far cry from the craft concoctions of the past (the Cosmo was renowned for Cocktails) and the pools were really grubby - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6-sjrLaUudk.html While we would never expect someone to change their rooms based on no opinion of a single experience, we would say we have had much better service and experiences at pretty much EVERY hotel on the Strip. The Aria - Is right next door and offers similar luxury - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8FFt6WPXoI.html The Bellagio is one of our favorites of all time - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K20rkSBLoRg.html And the Venetian has just incredible rooms - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-slc94p9rQdk.html But honestly, it will be a long time before we risk the Cosmo again!
