Flying in Style: A Deep Dive into Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy -

When it comes to long-haul travel, comfort can make or break your journey. Nestled between Economy and Upper Class, Virgin Premium Economy offers a travel experience that’s a cut above the rest—without breaking the bank. Whether you’re jetting off for business or leisure, Virgin Atlantic’s Premium Economy is designed to deliver extra comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

What is Virgin Premium Economy?

Virgin Premium Economy is Virgin Atlantic’s mid-tier cabin class, offering enhanced comfort and upgraded service compared to standard Economy. It’s the perfect balance for travelers who want a little indulgence without going all-in on First or Business Class. Think wider seats, more legroom, priority boarding, and a glass of bubbly to start your journey right.

Seat and Cabin Comfort

One of the standout features of Virgin Premium Economy is the seat. With a generous 38” seat pitch, up to 21” of width, and a footrest and headrest for added support, you’ll notice the difference as soon as you settle in. The cabin itself feels more intimate and quiet, making for a more relaxed flying experience.

Dining and Drinks

Say goodbye to standard airplane fare. In Premium Economy, meals are served on real china with proper cutlery, and you’ll enjoy a welcome drink (including prosecco!) shortly after takeoff. The seasonal menus are thoughtfully curated, with options to suit different dietary preferences. And yes—wine, spirits, and soft drinks are complimentary throughout the flight.

Entertainment and Amenities

Stay entertained with Virgin’s award-winning inflight entertainment system, which includes the latest movies, TV shows, music, and games. Each seat is equipped with a personal touchscreen and noise-canceling headphones. Premium Economy passengers also receive an amenity kit with essentials like a sleep mask, socks, and a toothbrush.
