Everyone knows that there are only two ways you get an upgrade when flying in today's cut throat airlines.
The first is to hold a gold card generally won by business travellers who never actually pay for the flight themselves anyway
The second way is to buy it by forking out huge sums of extra cash and that can earn the airline a pretty penny
Well it seems that Virgin Atlantic have caught onto that cash cow with great alacrity.
Anyone who has flown west across the Atlantic travelling in the airlines accommodation section is so Badly treated that fearing a repeat crossing Eastbound is conned into buying an upgrade.
Is it worth it? Well there are bigger seats a so called better service from the same blond bimbo trolley dollies and there is a foot rest but you get precious little else for paying the cost of an apple iPad as an extra charge for two seats
Is it really worth it? Well since the alternative is to throw away the return segment of the Virgin Atlantic ticket and buy a ticket with another carrier I suppose reluctantly I have to say yes
Sitting in the back again is far too ugly an alternative
What ever happened to the brave words of Sir Richard Branson when he launched the then fledgling airline and why have they been forgotten to the point that instead of leading the world Virgin Atlantic now limps around it at the back of the queue
