5 Reasons to Fly Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic

Make your journey something to look forward to

Flying a host of non-stop transatlantic routes for every adventure, Virgin Atlantic is the second biggest long-haul airline in the UK. Their focus on quality, innovation, style, and of course, dedicated passenger service, ensures that your journey is as luxurious as your destination.
Every cabin and every class have been designed with you in mind with innovation, thoughtful features and unmistakable Virgin Atlantic flair throughout. But flying Upper Class makes your experience that little extra bit special, and here's our favourite reasons why...

1. A Place to Call Your Own

Settle into your new home-from-home when you fly in the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class pods. Offering plenty of storage space and extra comfy seats in a bubble of privacy, the pods offer the opportunity for you to stretch out and relax as the seat transforms into a fully flat bed for a comfortable night's sleep complete with cosy pillows and duvet. Plus, with over 300 hours of enticing movies and TV shows waiting for you on your personal 18.5-inch touch screen, you'll be spoilt for choice of entertainment throughout your flight!

2. Room to Roam

The social spaces exclusively available for Upper Class mean that you have room to roam. If you fancy a change of scenery mid-flight, head to The Booth on selected Airbus A350 aircrafts for a drink; even offering some in-flight magnificence with experiences from wine tasting to romantic dinners. Customers flying Upper Class on the A330neo and selected Airbus A350 aircrafts can spend time in The Loft, an exclusive lounge in the sky which is perfect for spending time with friends over a drink and passing the hours as you fly.

3. Dining Made Better

With menus designed to complement your departure time, origin and destination, you can be sure that your Virgin Atlantic dining experiences will be one-of-a-kind. Before you even leave the airport, you can head to the Clubhouse for a spot of pre-flight dining, and as you step aboard you will be welcomed with a complementary glass of Champagne or sparkling wine. When you're in the air, enjoy the variety of gastronomy served throughout your flight - including a choice of 4-course meals, a cute afternoon tea and even breakfast in bed on night flights.
