Who's flown with Virgin recently?

Just wondering what sort of headphones they give out now? And can anyone tell me what the kids meals are like?

TIA

Hi
Went in August

1> kids meals - baked beans/sausage type thing, our kids never touch them (or the adult meals) I am afraid, we take a packed meal for them - certainly from my point of view (as an adult) fairly disgusting compared to the adult version.

2. Earphones - ones that clip over your ear - work Ok, have to hand them back at the end of course

We had old fashioned over head headphones in Nov from Gatwick.

Also had the sausage meal with raisins, cookie, fruitshoot, frube yoghurt. DD picked at bits of it. Can't remember what she had on the way back - pasta? I ate it so I should know! We were bang in the middle of the plane so we had last choice of the adult meals and hers was more appealing.

I'd def say take snack things for you kids

Went with Virgin in Sept from Gatwick, the headphones were over the ear style. Have no experience of the kids mealdsbut I always order veggie for DH and I and we always seem to be served 1st!

I have read that on the upgraded planes from LGW that they have been having problems with the headphones and the revised 'Super-Nova' system.

You do get 11 movie channels now though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Kids meal sounds reasonably varied - there should be something my older DD will like!!

Sounds like Virgin have changed back to over the head earphones - hopefully they will be a bit easier for DD to keep on!
