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 flew coach Virgin many years ago with my parents and it was exceptional for coach. Far superior to the now "flying bus coach class" in the US with every arguing to get overhead space and people unhappy to be crammed in. It seems you had a good flight on Virgin.

I travel domestically in the states for work and have only gotten to fly VA for one UK trip. That being said just based off that one flight I could tell that VA is an amazing airline. Even though I was in coach it was still head and shoulders above our domestic offerings

[@shahinsamad7529]

Wow 2 videos in 2 days! Wasn't expecting that but I'm not complaining. What a lounge experience too, now that is what I call worth your while. The cabin too, absolutely amazing! Wasn't expecting such great quality to be fair but it has blown me away. Thanks again Will for the experience being shared. Any chance you can try the south east Asian airline and their business products. Loving it and keep up the great work!

[@gh4707]

A gym or peloton area if you are laying over or have been on a work trip and regularly work out/ excercise is actually genius. Would make for a much more relaxing flight after getting a sweat in (as long as showers are available for after you work out before your board obviously)

[@trapperparsons429]

Love the quick peek of the Concord at 9:50!

[@billwatson9886]

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!

[@lvthud]

Bill, if the lounge is open, make sure you leave enough time to try the Miso Donuts.

I upgraded to First Class on Virgin, and, had a Fabulous Experience. I love Richard Branson. He has impeccable taste!!!

[@jakehowie442]

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.

[@vorsunny]

In his Video you see how much effort he buts into it. Keep it up!!

Started flying Virgin shortly after it began and have loved it ever since. Love that 1A layout!

[@fastoez]

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! Good video, i enjoyed it

I couldn’t watch these reviews for about a year during the pandemic because they made me sad. Then stuff “opened” and I started traveling again, and they made me happy again.

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.)

[@herreach6955]

Virgin Atlantic is utterly underrated because the British population is not as big as US, and BA already dominating the whole British market for full service airlines, and it's gonna be tough for Virgin to compete with BA, and also the fact that they're choosing to enter the full service airlines instead of regional LCC, it's hard for Virgin to compete, nevertheless their service are way more better, I just hope they can get through pandemic and more and more people fly with Virgin so that they can compete with BA.

I absolutely love your videos! It's fabulous watching you in so many places on trains and airplanes. My favorite is the food and how you describe it. Always makes me hungry. 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!!

Changing into pajamas in an airplane bathroom is a thoroughly disgusting option. I have accumulated tons of PJs from various airlines, but I keep them for use at home, not on the plane. The only time I have ever worn airline PJs on a plane was when flying Qatar's QSuites, where I had enough privacy in my suite to quickly change into pajamas. Many years ago, some 747s had a separate changing room on the upper level, but I am not aware of any airlines that still offer an in-flight changing room.

[@Trektrendy]

Many airlines offer changing space, Singapore A380 Suites, Emirates First Suites even BA’s A380 Business Class.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Why is it disgusting?

[@vizzini2510]

@@JulieWallis1963 An adult cannot change clothes in an airplane bathroom without touching several surfaces. If you had a UV light, you would discover that all surfaces of those itty bitty bathrooms are covered in body fluids. It is most obvious on the floors, which are often visibly wet. I hope you realize that is not Pine Sol residue from a recent scrubbing:) I am not stepping on that floor without shoes.

The Virgin lounge looks amazing to the BA lounge for Business Class flyers, BA's is a joke. The seat looks good, but I've just come back from the States flying in BA's new Club Suite with the closing door and I absolutely loved it, the food was amazing, the only downside is that the new seat has a huge gap when lay flat between the back rest and the seat and you could really feel it but worth it to be able to close your door and you're in your only little world.
