  • Today i'm taking the very first flight on Virgin Atlantic's new Upper Class suites over to Tampa, Florida. I'll give you a full and comprehensive review of what it's like to fly on their brand new aircraft, the Airbus A330-900 neo. Delivered just a matter of days ago, join me onboard their most luxurious Business Class product. Or well... that's if you don't include the new retreat suite which is available only in the first row of the aircraft... perhaps a toe in the water for a Virgin Atlantic First Class? It's certainly an interesting proposition.
    We'll also take a look at The Loft which is a unique product in itself, providing seating for 4 and space for 8 in a lounge like area, just behind Business Class.
    I'd like to thank Virgin Atlantic for inviting me along on this special inaugural press flight. As always though my review is my honest reflection of what I think to the experience.

    Ive been watching a few airline review channels. I got to say out of the three I've watched you're the best current. One of the other guys was so entitled and his reviews were mainly complaining about how the stewardess weren't beckoning at his every call. He would've trashed the entire review and said it was terrible if the thought of him making his own bed was there. You paid attention and did it yourself and didnt let it affect your video at all.

    The seats are definitely a huge upgrade from the miserable coffin like seats facing the aisle. I avoided Virgin because of them. That "lounge" looks like wasted space on the aircraft.

      Normally that would be a galley at most, but never seats since there are doors there

    • @danvalentine2997
      @danvalentine2997 Год назад +1

      The height of the seating in the ‘lounge’ is a poor design concept meant to bring you more in line with the crew, whereas in reality means your legs are dangling off the floor. Not quite sure which genius signed this off ✅ 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @nataliajimenez1870
      @nataliajimenez1870 Год назад +1

      @@danvalentine2997 It seems they wanted something close to bar stools but that could have seatbelts. The lounges are good ideas for those 12+ hrs flights where you want to encourage passengers to walk to prevent leg blood clots plus having a space for passengers that don't want to sleep and want to chat a bit, but they need more comfortable chairs

Those Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines are SO QUITE and smooth!!! And the flight crew was amazing! Syncing the very large entertainment screen to my Airpods via Bluetooth was a breeze! We will defiantly book again!! Way to go Virgin Atlantic!!!! BTW, they have some exclusive podcasts to listen too as well. I love the bit about Abby Road Studio!!
