While at the V&A I had what in retrospect seems like an amazing hit-rate in blagging upgrades from airlines for overseas trips. The absolute best of these was for a trip to the USA with Tracy, the V&A press officer, when I managed to persuade Virgin Atlantic to upgrade us both to Upper Class. This was without exception the best transatlantic flight I have ever experienced. Virgin Upper Class was extremely stylish, comfortable, and - with the option of a neck-and-shoulder massage - pampered and relaxed its passengers in just the right way. Nothing in-flight since then has come close to matching that flight, and I look at Virgin with immense fondness for proving that air travel can indeed be magical.
