    I have flown with both and for me it's BA that is the best by far. Virgin was a complete disappointment - rude staff that appeared totally disinterested, dirty aircraft and the legroom was appalling though I agree that all economy is pretty dire (I've never flown anything else other than economy).

    I thought the customer service, food and entertainment was very good on BA, we are doing the SFO-LAX flight next year and will be going BA again, might upgrade if we can afford it!

    even BA are rolling out an on demand entertainment system, which I *think* ALL 747s now have
    Correct. It's brilliant

    747's have this fascination for people because they are big, but you spend 10 hours in cramped conditions with 400 other pax.
    Most of BA's 747s have less than 300 seats although some have 337. Virgin's 747s carry up to 450!
