A full-service, international airline, Virgin Atlantic flies daily to Hong Kong and London. The first airline to offer seat-back TVs in Economy, and the pioneer of both Premium Economy and herringbone seat design in business class, this innovative airline is truly the antidote to ordinary travel.
With its renowned bed, bar and chauffeured airport transfers (on most fares) Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class means business.
A clever herringbone seat layout in a 1-1-1 configuration means that all Upper Class seats face forward and have direct aisle access. An ottoman footrest doubles as a seat for a guest. The seat width of 22 inches increases to 33 inches across the shoulders when the patented Upper Class seat flips forward to reveal a horizontal bed with proper mattress doona, pillow and pyjamas.
Order what you want whenever you like in a trolley-free cabin with the Freedom Menu service. Alternatively, the stunning sit-down bar is a great place to meet fellow passengers, chat with the crew and have a drink or a bite to eat.
Whether your idea of entertainment revolves around pillows, a proper doona, pyjamas, a 10.4 inch TV screen and 300 hours of entertainment on-demand, or mingling with other passengers at a proper bar at 35,000 feet, Upper Class delivers. Toss in in-seat laptop power and phones in each IFE handset and you've got no excuse to be bored. And remember, if you absolutely must work onboard, please don't disturb the passengers at the bar.
With dedicated check-in, priority boarding and more space, comfort and style in Virgin Atlantic's Premium Economy, you'll quickly get used to feeling posh.
Virgin Atlantic's 21 inch wide leather Premium Economy seats are configured in a 2-3-2 layout with a seat pitch of 38 inches and recline of 16 degrees for more comfort. Sit back and relax using the adjustable head and leg rests, and take advantage of the dedicated washrooms, personal amenity kits and a range of other privileges.
Enjoy the enhanced meal service featuring menus and three tempting choices served on china dinnerware, followed by dessert and selection of fresh fruit. Pre-flight bubbly and juice, after-meal liqueurs, ice creams plus a selection of juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are served throughout your flight.
Enjoy movies and the hottest TV shows ondemand, as well as video games and audio entertainment. You'll find laptop power in every seat as well as seat-to-seat and seat-to-ground text messaging, an 'Ask ANY Question' service (seriously, ANY question), and Sky News headlines on what's happening down below.
