Query about the loyalty schemes/frequent flying programmes with both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
I'm looking to plan a US trip next year, and as a result I plan to fly with one of these two airlines - I was wondering if someone with significantly more experience than myself could shed some light on:
1) Out of these airlines, which is the better to fly with (will likely be flying premium economy both ways) - which has the superior cabin/service?
2) Which loyalty scheme is more beneficial to sign up for (i.e, if I were to start building points, which one would I get better value with? Fully aware that BA is part of OneWorld and VA will be joining SkyTeam but does either offer anything significant over the other?
3) On VA, which is the most comfortable aircraft to fly? (I presume 787 but have no experience on any of the three so am curious!)
4) On BA, which is the most comfortable aircraft? (I presume A380 or 787, but again no experience!)
I flew VA last time on the 747 before it was retired (very sadly!) - and I'm looking to find the best one to commit to and use in terms of comfort and benefits.
Thanks!
