Silly Question about Virgin Atlantic...

As far as i know you still get them, as well as eye mask and toothbrush and toothpaste

We flew with them in September, and got a pair in our goody bag.

Have a good time in NY!

Make sure you bring warm clothes it's flippin freezing here at the mo!

Aren't they just socks though, rather than flight socks?

You still get furry socks going out but not coming back. And like Lady F said they aren't flight socks - just lovely warm furry ones

Eeewww why would you want fluffy socks for a flight? they cabin is stuffy as it is. yuck yuck yuck.

Really? I'm always freezing on a flight!

I'm not. I get so hot and stuffy. I tend to change into shorts & a vest on most long haul flights, especailly night flights, they are the worst.

Totally agree. I had to take my socks off last night and had the fan blowing cold air in my face on our flight last night because it was so fecking hot. I bloody hate night flights.

I'm always the one with lots of clothes and at least 2 blankets, even on night flights.

Thanks everyone,

I'm sure I got some blue flight socks with them last time - oh well, guess I'll have to hunt down my proper ones!

Lobster, I've got gloves, scarf and hat at the ready - has it snowed there today, that's what the weather reports been saying!

Thanks again,

K, x

No snow. I've seen a few flakes over the last week or so but nothing that even made it to the ground.

In the 4 years I've been here any real snow in the city has come in Jan or Feb.

I can categorically confirm that you did NOT get given proper flight socks at any point by Virgin.

As someone else said, you will get the towelling ones on the way out but nothing on the way back.

As for people talking about temperatures, do you ever tell the crew if you are hot or cold ? We can change the temperature, I'm always surprised that people sit their freezing / boiling and don't say anything until they are getting off.

AAhh but JB thata when you get one passenger complain it`s too hot..then 3 rows behind they are too cold...

When I worked in VAA CR, That was my response to our passengers, unless it was the passengers who said they asked the crew to open the window and they refused!
