Virgin Atlantic Upper Class A330-900neo Business Class Review Miami - London Heathrow

[@MPDLR]

GREAT HELPFUL VIDEO. No bullshit graphics and crazy music. On some videos you have to really look hard to see the seat, or food, or bed - because some putz thinks he is Spielberg and wants to film people walking in airports and the sky. THIS video - I felt really gave me a good idea about the seat, food, bed, and overall Upper experience - thanks!

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Thank you! That is the type of review I want to give the viewers. As unedited and original as possible from my point of view.

[@user-wp6yn4zf7q]

Thank you so much for this - very helpful!

[@sheajane7669]

Awesome video. Great job! I enjoy the way you share everything with us. I can continue to dream. Safe flying ✈️✈️✈️✈️❤

[@SandraDuckett-uy6mj]

Great video i am doing the same flight from Miami to London in November this year so the bit about the security gate was good.

[@user-lb5yn9cy4o]

This is such a nice video that I'd love to take advantage of this flight too :) Good job, thank you! Definitely I will be following your further videos.

Looks like a cool airline, modern contemporary feel to the cabin

[@TraverseFlightReview]

They got a really nice character 👍

[@theushistorian]

Flown VA for more than 20 years. Every class. It's always great with exceptional service and entertainment!

[@JennylovesASMR]

Wonderful video. Thank you very much!

[@kevinhendricks8272]

Thanks for the great report

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Thank you!

[@BasquiatNYC]

I’m taking this same Virgin Atlantic plane to London in a few months. Thanks for this video

[@manfriendlychurch]

The advice about using the Delta side security is great advice as I will be doing the same flight in October

[@smhardcastle]

Hey very detailed review. Just wanted to let you know their is no bar on the 330 Neo. All Virgin Atlantic 350 and 330 Neos have a loft area not a bar. So where you saw the fridge filled with drinks and ambient snacks left on the side, that was set up. Also the apple crumble cheese cake is pre plated by the caterers in Miami so it may have been swapped out last minute. If you would like to experience the bar you can find it on all VS 787s and their older 330s. You can always request the cabin crew to make you a drink and you can have it in the loft. Also I feel you didn’t see your cabin crew a lot during the flight because it’s an overnight flight and I’m sure the majority of passengers wanted to sleep so other than their safety and security sweeps they would have either been on break or in the galley to minimise disturbing you and your other passengers. I’m sure if you had used the call bell someone would have arrived and assisted you. 😊

[@Nuekchan]

Thanks for sharing us this trip, look comfortable on their equipments,

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Very comfortable indeed :) Would highly recommend!

[@Nuekchan]

@@TraverseFlightReview if i have chance to fly with them i will share you back.

[@markamos3037]

Thanks for the info and experience, I greatly appreciate it. One day maybe I’ll get to fly Virgin Atlantic First Class

[@leahrutherford7004]

i’m flying from heathrow to tampa in february and this gave me a great idea of what to expect even though it is from miami to heathrow 😊

[@TraverseFlightReview]

I heard so many good things about the LHR departure experience, and I'm trying to find some tickets to try it out myself! Hope you have a blast! 🙌🏼

[@Krunchy71]

Great video, thanks for sharing. That bar situation sure was a letdown.

[@wernermarx9826]

So nice Video!

[@simonpilk]

I must say that is a really interesting and great review that was very watchable indeed unless some other nonsense we get from the likes of either Josh Cahill or Sam Chui. I now have someone else to add to my flight reviews alongside Vicarious Voyager! Well done indeed

[@alexasack9893]

You should review the South African Airways Inaugural flight from Cape Town to Sau Paulo in their business class product. The flight departs Cape Town on October 31st. South African Airways is always known for having amazing food and very friendly staff. I hope you get to try it!

[@TraverseFlightReview]

I heard! Great to hear SAA is making a come back! But their long haul cabin is a bit outdated, so I will maybe check it out when they get their cabin refreshed 😅

[@mikekersten3776]

I cannot believe with flying "Upper Class" WiFi isn't complimentary. We fly to London in June on that very type of plane. Cannot wait! Great video btw.

[@delibakerytravel]

Very Nice!!! Thank You!!! I think I would have taken the shakers! LOL!!

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Arent just the cutest? Apparently on their soles, there's a writing that says "pinched from Virgin Atlantic" XD

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

I Love Virgin Atlantic Upper Class On The A330-900neo,And Like The Club House Lounge In London The Best In Europe.Great Trip Report

[@TraverseFlightReview]

I hear great things about the Club House Lounge in London! I tried to access it this time arriving in on Upper Class and departing on Air France business class, but unfortunately Sky Team passengers didn't have access to the lounge which is a shame... Only Upper Class passengers departing from LHR is entitled to access it seems :(

[@ivanviera4773]

Beautiful cabin

[@RobinAngel61]

great video/ maybe show the carry on storage with your video's/ would be helpful

[@conniepayne591]

Can you buy those salt and pepper shakers. I like them a lot and would love to get them. I hope you had a nice flight. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

You can steal them from the plane. It actually says on the bottom of them that they were snatched from Virgin Atlantic 😂

[@donaldpolson5450]

Funny how so many never attempt the 4rh course cheese plate. I always wish I could have everyone else's! Oh btw many do steal the VA salt & pepper shakers. It's almost expected customers will 😂

[@stevena9305]

As said earlier by someone else - there is no bar! Hence you couldn’t find one. Try emirates A380 for that. The so called Loft area on your flight is just a communal/chill out seating space where you can chat with other passengers. If you wanted a drink you just ask the crew and they will fetch anything off the UC menu.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Thanks for the clarifications Steven! I was hoping that the loft area had more snacks available like the ice cream and whatnot i saw in other reviewer's videos 😅 sorry for the confusion!

[@stevena9305]

@@TraverseFlightReview my pleasure. They should have made more of it though. Once you have been on Emirates A380 upper deck you are spoiled for ever more!

Your content is wonderful! It be neat to see LATAMs long haul product! How about SCL-MAD!

[@jmWhyMe]

We flew Virgin SEA to LHR on a 787 in UC a few years ago. I felt the service wasn't up to par and the lay flat beds had no padding - it was lying on bare plywood and thus extremely uncomfortable, and I was unable to sleep at all during the flight. For what we paid, it was a tremendous disappointment

I have flown several times in Virgin Upper Class (A330 old, A350 and 787) and always found the beds comfortable not sure how this happened for you.

[@wilfridnimes5650]

You love Champagne my rascal 😉

[@johnvsymons]

Pretty decent service. Meals seemed good but as you pointed out, appeared plated "haphazardly" without a standard level of presentation/ingredients. I wonder since this was a "redeye flight" if the bar area is mainly used during daytime flights and minimally serviced at night?

[@TraverseFlightReview]

I think so too. It gave a pretty lazy impression from the crew. Maybe next time I'll try out the other way 😉

[@BeliaLastes]

How come whenever they have emenities like in the bathrooms at the airports and or on the planes bathroom's nobody takes them, and they are free to take, like the emenity bag that was in the airport shower 🚿/bathroom he just opens it show's what's in it but then drops it back down (and the toiletries looked good 👍🏼) I don't know just my thoughts

[@paulmapstone4704]

I am doing the same thing in half term in October 2023

[@smallie210]

As you were flying upper class, you were allowed to take the salt and pepper shakers.

[@smallie210]

Great video! Were u able to convert your seat into a bed? And was upper class really expensive or did you get a good deal? It always is when i look at rhe prices!

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Yes I did show the seat in lie-flat mode around 28:43! And I was able to find a cheaper fare heading to Morocco to bring the price down a little :)

[@smallie210]

​@@TraverseFlightReviewthanks for replying. So you mean the flight stopped at Morocco? How long was the flight if you don't mind me asking?

[@TraverseFlightReview]

@@smallie210 nope the destination was Morocco so I went through London and Paris... not for everyone but i found it fun :P

[@michaelfraser8826]

Thanks although I would have been annoyed with no bar considering what you pay

[@edwardjackson]

St. louis, had no body to give you anything but rude TSA agents wanting to know, why you there waiting for somebody, coming in from Houston, I was hungry, coming from Ft. Wood. They wouldn't even let me in to the food court, because I did not have a boarding pass!

[@mosheblock1461]

Can you detail a bit of the difference between the A330 and the 787 or A350 Upper Class? This seemed pretty nice.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Their 787 or A330 arent really that appealing but I'll try give their A350 a go!

[@donaldpolson5450]

THE main difference is the controversial seat ie 'herringbone' design. It has its stretches but the main complaint is it faces away from the window also some liken it, when in flat bed mode, to being in a coffin!

[@TraverseFlightReview]

@@donaldpolson5450 is it bad if I say I actually kind of like the herringbone design...? As long as its some what updated like the Jet Blue Mint, I think I would prefer that...

[@o.c.g.m9426]

Call me an ass but one of the very fee moments of "im doing all right" moments is when I get to pass by people as I board business or 1st class 😂. Feet like a short king flying BA 1st class in March 😂

Was this a product swap? I’m booking the same flight but it’s showing an a300-300 aircraft.

Looks like they are prioritizing Tampa for their A330neo operations... Current flights show 787-9's on schedule :(

[@terryeiss8469]

Looks great, but a little attention to detail required.

You should of gone to a lavish Latam lounge with champange instead of this Delta cofeteria. This is a lesson for all those prejudice people.

Customer service in American airports leave a lot to be desired. Not many friendly faces or warm greetings from staff.

[@MPDLR]

I loved baked beans but my gut is bad. They'd label me as Osama Shit Laden if I ate those beans up there.

😂

[@airlinesarefun]

They usually have been out partying so have no interest in their passengers.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

LOL i can see that... Maybe the other way would be a better choice 👍

[@lora6829]

Great video, crew seemed to lack flair in upper class, if you order your preferred desert you shouldn’t have to remind your crew later on in case she forgets 😂 also ‘the loft’ could be renamed ‘the lost’ on this particular flight
