Virgin Atlantic A330-900Neo Upper Class Trip Report 

Love your clean, crisp voice and pronunciation and the detailed, yet un-fussed description.

Just flew Upper Class Seattle to London and back. Service and food were exceptional, and blew the competition from BA out of the park. Very, very good!

I think you've managed to create an elegant trip report, without too much drama that some other reports have. Kudos!

My favorite airline. Every cabin class on VA is great. The crew is always outstanding.

Smart choice Virgin Atlantic Airlines ordering the Airbus A330neo jets. It's an amazing aircraft and quite.

Thank you! I’ll be flying virgin’s upper class next week and your video was super helpful

Awesome review. 3 round trip flights from Tampa to LHR. Since they started the service. Virgin service has been superb. And we have flown on 3 of their newest A 330-900 NEO’s. Next trip from Tampa to LHR shortly and we will be in Upper Class.

have heard varying views of virgin atlantic. your flight made me feel better about v.a. i am a bit of a menu collector, so thanks for not rushing through the menu. glad you had a great flight. will be watching for more of your vids, as you are veryyyyyy easy on the eyes.

This is finally flying directly to my home town, Tampa! It looks terrific! However, I fly home every year to Manchester and clearly they don't want the northern folk flying to the south to board this plane. Because they have like zero connections. The best going from Tampa to Manchester via Heathrow ended up with a wait of like six hours for a connecting flight. I'd love to be able to experience this product, but we still are left with the dreadfully worn out A300-300s to Atlanta. But you are right. I fly Virgin for the food, sure, but the flight attendants are simply the BEST in the air. Warm, friendly, not a snooty one among them. Best anecdote was when this lovely flight attendant saw my cup of tea, she wrinkled her nose and said, let me get you a builders brew in a mug. I could have hugged her. A small humorous touch like that made my flight. Eventually I am sure we will get the neo, but for some reason, Manchester is the orphan child for these planes. Which is a shame. Because they do great business. But I get it. They want American tourists. And let's face it, most want to go to London first.

LHR-MIA in December, can’t wait

What a great, informative and well produced report - thank you! I've avoided Virgin for a number of years due to several poor experiences but I would consider them again, especially when flying to the States, mainly due to the lack of quality competitors. It's refreshing to see a report that's predominantly focussed on the product rather than the reviewer themself (unlike those from a number of self-absorbed, 'look at me!' reviewers e.g. Josh Cahill, Non-stop Dan etc.)

Really well put together video. Thank you

Good to see a review where someone FINALLY partakes of the cheeseboard on Upper Class. I was beginning to think I was the only one who selects this.

Virgin Atlantic A330-900Neo Upper Class Is The Best Business Class Cabin In Virgin Atlantic Fleet My Opinion.Great Trip Report

Great insight into the neo..ive not flown it upper class yet but have on the airbus a380 and the dreamliner but have to say the dreamliner is my favourite even being a bit dated,but like you also said the bar sets it off,had many a late night chat sitting their

Flown upper class to Antigua and flying again next year to St lucia. These have been on the 777 and next years is an a330-300 so both herringbone. Would love to try a newer product when in upper class, but prefer the old models in premium economy as the seats are wider.

Flew to Tampa last November on G VTOM’s first fare paying passenger flight in Upper Class, I will not be flying to Tampa with BA again!

Great video! I was scheduled to fly the Neo in Upper Class too but they changed it to the A350, still enjoyable though. :)

I've flown this product back from Miami, it's hands down VA best offering! I hope you enjoyed your flight!

That very tall blond stewardess was so attractive. She is the ideal English beauty.

Having flown a few times and had passengers so drunk and unruly I am glad to see the bars go! it's also not fair on those sitting closes to them

Thank you very much, we are flying Virgin next year business outbound to Miami on their 787 older business and returning on their newer A330-900neo business, we opted for the middle seats returning. Looks like a great product. Flew BA and American Airlines business in the past. BA A380 business looks far inferior to this with a much higher price tag

Great review. Can you get 2 starters on all business class flights?

This was an absolutely beautiful review. It’s been a few years since flying in Upper Class and this does look like a tremendous improvement. We still think VA is the best way to get to the UK. I’ll be on the way next year for another opportunity to visit my lovely UK friends and then another Crossing on QM2. I think you are my favorite reviewer. Stunning video and relevant information. I feel your personality! Can’t wait for more.

That was excellent- I have not yet flown on VS- but hope to soon

not flown Virgin for sometime now, as we use BA from Gatwick to Tampa to our holiday home. Keep thing of giving it a try but their prices are much higher than BA business class. Nice video what do you think between the tow airlines and price point?

Another great video! Fabulous interior design in Virgin!

Nice cameo by Phoebe the Flamingo at the end! Tampa is home and I will be on this bird soon....many, many, many rows back. ;) Thrilled about the 2-4-2 config in economy though! Even more thrilled Virgin now has a non-stop to LHR!

Reminds me of the flights I took to Hong Kong in the late 1990’s early 2000 was always a wonderful journey experiencing the large well cushioned seats the herringbone sleeper seats. The on flight massage and the bar… never did work out hoe to plat backgammon when experiencing turbulence. Does the lounge still have the Cow Shed hair dressers - was a great experience cut a haircut while enjoying some very chilled Landon

I absolutely love VA but a question about the NEO and pressurisation it’s an A330 which is dated I know the engine and interiors are vastly improved but is not the advantage of the 787 & A350 is less jet lag because of lower cabin pressure or am I wrong on that?

That flight attendant is super hot

Excellent review

Nicely edited. Good video.

👏

Not sure why they bothered with the “lounge” area, it’s really a thoroughfare.

We're flying the A330neo to LHR in 7 days ! Do they weigh your CARRY ON bags ? Also, why didn't you utilize the Upper Class check in wing?

I flow VAA last year on in UC, service great food great. Only thing that let them down was how dirty the plane was from LHR which i did not expect.

Nice review, would be interested to hear what you think about their UC in 787 and A350-1000, I'm not too sure that the difference is?

Great tripreport! Thanks for sharing it with us! It's too bad that they don't have an onboard bar! That looked so special! The food looks tasty and I love Virgin for having such a strong brand image

Thanks for the video! I flew on the Tampa route back in March and absolutely loved it...loved the technology with the charging mat and the fact that I could pair up my earbuds to the bluetooth. I too missed the bar...The Loft wasn't used at all on my flight which was a shame. VA cabin crew are so good, nothing was too much trouble.

anyone know what the bed length is?

much better upper class seats now with privacy (still have issues with upper class not having separate exit and only having 1 toilet cannot fault the service as we have never had a bad experience flying upper class. with Virgin

Currently planing for my 2025 holidays, and think Upper Class is a must. But have a question, Im a fussy eater, so when it comes to meals, how is this fixed

That's one heck of a lounge!

Wow you really sold Virgin great looking product unfortunately flying the wrong way for me, why isn’t BA offering the same 👍

I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who's pinched some things from the service on airplanes. I have a whole set of Finnair glasses and now building a collection of BA's current glasses. And btw you're quite handsome.

8:24 ❤

Do they turn on the neon led during flight. Fine for boarding but think it would annoy the hell out of me all through the flight. Like cheap disco :)

ODD QUESTION: Going from JFK TO LHR - Virgin Upper. Will have 10 hour wait at LHR. For a 10 hour connection - does that mess up luggage where it gets forgotten about, or is it usually ok. Thanks

I don’t normally watch narrated videos as the ‘host’ makes it about them not the flight and services, and I find that irritating. I am glad to say that I very much enjoy your videos even the Anne Robinson wink I can cope with 😉🙄. Surprised you don’t also include hotel reviews. Looking forward to the next trip!

Is upper class same price as business class? Whats the difference if there is any?

I will be flying upper class with them in Oct on my way to Hawaii for a month.

Great video. One day it'll be me🤞

You have to be the handsomest airline video reviewer in the business.

The Virgin social spaces can create problems. I could not sleep in the right-side window seat closest to that social space because of the noises and laughter from it, and I was tired before I went on board. Some of its users were clearly holidaying Virgin staff from their raised-voiced chatter. The attendant was only able to express his sympathy... If you want to sleep, stay away from the social spaces on Virgin aircraft.

How munch did you pay for the rocket

Do you suppose folks do not use the on-jet lounge space simply because they are not used to flying this class and feel uncomfortable in doing so?

*POV:* if im gonna make an airline Airline name: butter airlines Planes: A-330 , B-747 , B-777 Cost: 806.9$ Per travel cost: 500$

Upper class is either business or first on other airlines. Yet, the British have to go one step higher promoting themselves and their products as being superior though they are the same as everybody else! Go figure, upper class! 😂

Thought you were getting your hot towel served to you from a member of the public. Make uniform far too casual

I'd rather eat an entrée than a 'starter'.

never flew on virgin but virgin atlantic seems like a W 100% 10/10 looks like europe’s qatar airways

For a title like the Designair, flying economy is a better way to see how the airline delivers vision, style and quality. RU-vid is full of gushing business class reviews.

I've tasted fish in the U.K boy, was it nasty. Plain & bland. Like they pulled it out the ocean, took out the bones, threw it in a fryer & said eat. 20 min of free wifi for a 20 min flight, I assume 😂.

Awesome review. 3 round trip flights from Tampa to LHR. Since they started the service. Virgin service has been superb. And we have flown on 3 of their newest A 330-900 NEO’s. Next trip from Tampa to LHR shortly and we will be in Upper Class.
