I did a status match. If you have a status with another airline (in my case I had Gold with BA), Virgin can automatically give you a similar level in their own program. It's basically a way for airlines to attract frequent flyers from competitors.
Just found your channel. I was searching for Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy, as we'll be flying LAX to LHR next month. Our return flight will be LHR to JFK on Delta. How did Delta Premium compare to VA? Thanks for posting your review!
Hey! I enjoyed VA's product more than Delta in terms of food and service, while seats are comparable / deliver the same level of comfort. Having said that, Delta wasn't bad, VA's PE just seemed to be quite above average (at least in my experience). Lmk how your flights go! In the meantime, I'll post the video from my return flight with Delta.
@@LoyaltyLlamathank you! I see that premium economy seats are wider on the A330 (for VS), however they lack leg rests which is a deal breaker for me. I’m based in Atlanta and it looks like most flights to LHR are on A350s while those to MAN are on A330s. I prefer to fly into Manchester due to less congestion, but no leg rests on a 8hr flight is unfortunate.
@@Ventjock apologies, my response above wasn't 100% accurate. Row 1 seats (e.g. where I was sitting in the video) have leg rests, while the rest of Premium cabin only has foot rests from what I remember (and a quick google search seems to show the same).
High tea looking good. Planning VA to London in the Spring.
Excellent report !!! 👌😊👍
Thank you!
The Clubhouse Is A Great Lounge My Opinion,I Like The Pruduct Premium Economy.Great Trip Report
Thanks! And definitely agree about the Clubhouse, I didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
Great review.
Flew Premium on the new Virgin A350 this year and I agree, the headphones need upgrading, apart from that it was faultless.👌
Thanks! Yeah, I'm now keen to try their business class (or even PE again), wish their network was a bit wider.
Flying to MAN next month. Looking forward to this !
Nice! Where are you flying from? Hope you enjoy your flight.
Can I ask if you’ve never flown virgin how did you get gold status? I’m travelling soon and would love to know

Leg rests on the seats?
Yes
