As an aviation reporter, I spend a lot of time reviewing airlines. My job sometimes gives me the perk of long-haul business class, but I mostly sit in economy.
I've traveled in coach on virtually every transatlantic airline, most recently back-to-back flights on Virgin Atlantic Airways and Norse Atlantic Airways between New York and London.
These are two airlines at opposite ends of the spectrum. Virgin is a 40-year-old, big-name mainline carrier, while Norse is a newcomer budget airline trying to make the historically unsuccessful long-haul low-cost strategy work.
While I think Virgin is the better choice regarding convenience and amenities, I'd still recommend Norse to price-sensitive travelers who don't mind giving up a few freebies for a cheaper ticket — so long as they pay attention to the strict bag rules.
Here's how my experiences compared:

Clarksville, a historic district of Austin, Texas, has lately emerged as a stylish dining and shopping enclave. Among the area’s most compelling new businesses is La Embajada, a design shop housed in a 1923 Craftsman bungalow. Combining the hospitality and interiors expertise of its founder, Raul Cabra — who has designed tableware for some of Mexico City’s most celebrated restaurants, including Rosetta and Pujol — La Embajada presents a refined, regionally diverse selection of Mexico’s artisanal offerings. A series of small rooms display vintage and contemporary furniture, from stately midcentury armchairs and 1970s glass sconces to a minimalist agave fiber rug by the Oaxaca-based textile artist Trine Ellitsgaard. The house is also an actual residence. Cabra often stays in the bedroom up the creaky stairs, and he’s recently made it available for short-term stays (bookings include a daily basket of baked goods from Austin’s Swedish Hill). Guests can purchase the room’s handmade décor, such as a pair of sleek bedside lamps in milky white onyx, a 1960s La Malinche dresser and a bedspread from a Michoacan manufacturer that once supplied Herman Miller. Downstairs, glassware, candles and gifts fill a section modeled after a typical general store in a small Mexican town. But La Embajada’s heart is its inviting kitchen, where visiting chefs cook elaborate meals and staff prepare ice cream and coffee. In another twist, every bespoke detail — including a hammered copper sink, caramel-colored tiles and waxed pine cabinets — can be custom-ordered for one’s own home.
