Premium economy class (Bussiness class) seats offer amenities that are sometimes missing in normal economy class. These "economy class" offers better service onboard. | |||||||||

HORRIBLE FLIGHT. Uncomfortable narrow seats. The food was disgusting. What a poor breakfast.
I will not fly Virgin again if I can help it. Useless entertainment. We flew Delta from LHR to JFK on the 17th October, and by far a better airline. | |||||||

First time flying Virgin Atlantic, I’ll never fly with this airline again. The entertainment system was ancient and not user friendly, the food was horrible and the seats were very small | |||||||

Stay away from the D or G seats as they are in the middle. Virgin's fishbone seating structure clearly encourages "window" seating. | |||||||
