    Come with me onboard Virgin Atlantic's new Upper Class onboard their Airbus A350. I'm on one of the very first flights over to the US since the travel restrictions have lifted. I'll take you with me through the private wing at London Heathrow, into the Club House... relax in a cabana and even check out the rooftop garden overlooking the runway. Next we'll head onboard to my private suite, in Upper Class on the way to Atlanta, USA.

I live in Atlanta (actually a suburb) and the airport is always busy. I have been watching all your older videos along with the newer ones. I like the trains because I have never been on a passenger train. Just trains like the one at the famous Stone Mountain carving. The Rock. I actually live very close to it and have been hundreds of times. Take care and as always looking forward to the next one!!

    I flew between Los Angeles and London back in the middle of October and it was my first time with the A350. I loved it. I've only ever flown transatlantic in Virgin Upper Class because my company was paying for the seat. Since I retired, I've been using the Bank of America Virgin Atlantic MasterCard for everything I buy, and those miles really add up. So I've been able to stay in those great seats for several more years. The things I really liked in the A350 included the new seating pods with the dining table which pulls out and then flips toward you like a giant hug. I got a tablecloth! I had the same food and it was my first time ever eating duck and hog jowls. I almost always eat something for the first time on every Virgin flight. The giant TV screen was really nice, though I wished it would adjust to be closer to my eyeballs. I loved that my wired ear plugs worked with the plug for the lately awful ear muffs that Virgin uses for sound. Back in the day, their earphones were Bose or some other high-end name brand and they did aggressively collect each and every one before the flight ended. With the Covid mask and my glasses, there's no way I can deal with more stuff impinging on my lobes. I consider the Virgin flight in both directions to be part of my vacation, so I never sleep. I think the video offerings have been trimmed down since I last flew 2 years ago, but there was still enough to keep me entertained on my super long flights. I usually get 3 or 4 feature films, plus TV programs. The great addition was the tail and belly cams. On both of my flights, the cams both got locked out of service when the FA either mistakenly or purposely left the mic on his announcement phone locked. I forgot to ask about it on the way out. I could fly any carrier to and from London, but the sassy Virgin FAs never fail to entertain and impress. Now if they could only get the Virgin Lounge at LAX reopened in time for my next flights in July!

    Thank you for the great video (lounge & airplane). I'm a bit surprised that on a 9 hour flight you only got one meal and I gather... no amenity kit? Always appreciate that you take the time to show the menu in detail. (I would have eaten in the lounge... there wasn't one thing on that menu that interested me.)

    Very good review of the Virgin upper class business experience. I much prefer the A350-1000/900 config of Virgin upper class to their configs in 787s or A330s, with seats actually facing the windows on the 350s, giving more privacy, less awkwardness.
    Seems a very good hard product and most probably soft product too.
    Head and shoulders over that other British Airways and definitely the long haul products on USA airlines.

    Seems similar to club suite just a bit more fancy in looks but that's the VA way, and u get the loft and pj's! The club house has always been one of the best lounges in the business, i used virgin loads bk in the day but switched to ba as virgin routes were cut and their UC price tag went through the roof once they partnered with Delta, i can get rtn club suite to say dubai for 1.5k and that same length journey with virgin to NY etc is like 3-4k, and virgin miles are impossible to spend as u need a flex ticket to use then to upgrade which is often more expensive then a low cost UC ticket so i fell away from them for those reasons, but always loved the hard product and this new suite looks fab!
