Food good, service top class. Again the wine selection a little disappointing. No sweet white dessert wine. Next time I am tempted to bring my own and get the FA's to serve it for me. Upper Class cabin was 30% full. Had to wait two hours from boarding plane to seatbelt sign off, so I was bursting! Bar in A340-600 was a long slim one with stools but in the middle of the cabin. A row of passenger seats were either side of the bar, so I'd avoid booking seats as it could be noisy if you like sleeping on the flight. FA's were excellent. In the past I have found FA's on Virgin to be less amenable flying into the UK than flying out. This was not the case on this occasion - both ways I had exemplary service. Well done Virgin!
