Great vlog. We'll be travelling Virgin upper for the first time in August. We'll also be on the A330 and was wondering something about the seats. In one shot it looked like the seat is lower than the head, could you tell me if the head rests of the seats go up, please. Also, it doesn't look very private, did you feel this? New subscriber here, look forward to the rest of your vlogs and just wanted to say a massive thanks for filming, editing and sharing. I'll be vlogging our trip so check us out, would love to get to 100 subscribers. ❤
Hello! the seat isn't as high as your head, and there is no head rest on the seat that goes up or down unfortunately. I will say though, the seats themselves are very comfortable so you don't really miss a head rest. As the suites are more dated, if you are sat in Row G or K, you won't have very much privacy as your suite will overlook suites opposite you. If you are sat in Row A however you won't have this issue. I will say though, despite their age, it's still a lovely experience to be sat in Upper Class and don't forget to get the crew to make your bed for you! Making use of the flatbed for a nap is wonderful. Don't forget to make use of the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse if you're flying from Heathrow. It makes the airport journey that much more amazing. I'd also recommend pre ordering your main meals (unless you have special dietary required meals already ordered.) You can do this via preselect.virginatlantic.com, 7 days before your trip, up to 24 hours before departure I believe. This way you're guaranteed your meal choice. Good luck with the vlogging! I look forward to seeing them! Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful trip!! :)
