Which Flight Should I Take?

[Scott & LC 3]

Hi all

I will be flying to the US in November... I will be flying Malaysian Airlines in the first leg of journey and then switch to another airline. I have 3 choices:

1. Virgin Atlantic (stop at Heathrow)

2. Lufthansa (stop at Frankfurt)

3. Northwestern (stop at Amsterdam)

Have anyone of you flew these airlines before? Any opinions on which one should I take?

Thank you!

If you're flying Virgin Atlantic, ask for an upgrade at the desk unless you can get a sale. Honestly, their seating areas are far too cramped.

I hated hated hated the one time I flew NWA from Amsterdam...They sucked. REALLY. I mean you get treated like poop no matter who you fly, but compared to every other airline, they are by far the worst (IMO).

Why would anyone want to connect via heathrow?

You will pay more for the crazy UK tax and also have to navigate one of the worst international airports in the world.

Amsterdam is probably the easiest of the 3 airports. It is only slightly ahead of Frankfurt.

Transatlantic carriers are pretty much the same unless you are flying anything other than coach. They all suck

Avoid US-based airlines when you can fly others. US airlines have the worst service and comfort (at least compared to most European and Australasian airlines I've flown).

Lufthansa! No long security check lines in Frankfurt and Lufthansa is fairly organised and on time.

Thanks everyone I'm actually going to fly Virgin Atlantic, made up my mind. I've been to Heathrow a few times, really cramped but at least I'm familiar with it so I'm sticking to that Come to think of it, should've tried Lufthansa but I read a few reviews online and they weren't as good as Virgin Atlantic! Heh... and it's okay if the seats are small as I have short legs! lol...

Thanks again Really appreciate it!

Yeah, I'm really short too, but those seats are built for munchkins! Have a safe trip.

Virgin has a nice service in Premium Economy or if you feel like a treat try the Upper Class which is superb.

If you REALLY feel like a treat (and want to burn money) look at the BA first class service. The bed actually does feel almost like a proper bed and the privacy screen means you can just fall asleep and forget you are on a plane.
