Flying VIRGIN ATLANTIC Flight VS4 to Heathrow in PREMIUM left me feeling HIJACKED! A brutally honest review of Virgin Atlantic Premium, is it worth paying to upgrade from Economy, what's the cost and is it worth it? Take off with me from New York JFK Flying and landing at London Heathrow International Airport.

We use Virgin a lot to the US and never had a problem when checking in at MAN, JFK or MCO when flying Premium. We always have checked baggage so the priority check in, boarding and priority baggage at the other end is good. Also with premium you get two pieces of baggage which for us is useful (it was in May when returning from MCO!). For me the food on Virgin has been as good as the competition. End of the day it's airline food. Everyone's different! Must admit we do monitor the prices carefully before making a booking, saved us £s over the years as prices can change a great deal from day to day. Only derogatory comment I would have is that having flown on the new A350 (VS73), the older A330s seem tired, roll on the A330 NEOs.

And since I just flew Condor in Economy to FRA and Premium back (because I needed the extra luggage allowance and the price was not too bad), I was interested in your experience. Love your editing and the entertainment value compared to other trip reporters I watch. Keep it up, I just subbed.

Totally didn't agree. The wider seats and leg room in premium are a god send on translantic flights. The extra baggage allowance (which you weren't using so again you wouldn't have been benefiting from part of the whole features part). Never been in a premium seat where I could just step over someone. Felt was quite a harsh review on what is one of the better premium products around. I loved the proper crockery and utensils. Just felt like it gave a premium

I think I must be an unusual traveler because the primary thing I care about is the width and support of the seating. I don't pay that much attention to food, cutlery, entertainment choices, wifi, and other things that travel reviewers seem to emphasize. I pay extra in order not to be pushed up against the person next to me. One of my favorite seats is Spirit Airlines' "Big Front Seat". I get all I want without having to pay for that which is not important to me. I wish they had such an arrangement for overseas travel.

Hi Lee, your travel days are my favourites really. I’ve booked a holiday with Virgin to Florida for 9 days, hotel, transfers and Premium both ways for £1300. Funny how it varies with price. The food menu wasn’t brilliant to be honest, can’t compared with Etihad airways for their Premium and other Asian airlines like Singapore. I must admit I was impressed more with the JetBlue flight you took! As an assignment, I’d love you to do an Amtrak rail journey overnight or a couple of days in their roomettes? The journeys are great across the states.

Premium - is still Premium Economy whether they’ve changed the words or not. Virgin Upper Class is a Business Class product (J Class) - the equivalent of Club World on British Airways. It isn’t and never has been a First Class product like they have on BA or Emirates - (F Class) - but I guess their marketing is so good that people think it’s First Class even though it isn’t. 😵‍💫

Not hijacked but shot down in flames! Things with Virgin Atlantic really deteriorated when they got into bed with Delta. Virgin are still best of a bad bunch transatlantic (compared to Delta, American, United and British Airways) in my experience. The flight and cabin crew are great though. Seriously? 4 across seating in centre of PREMIUM FFS! I hate the A330s - B787 or A350 are the best.

They've been going downhill for a lot longer than just the Delta influence I'm afraid. At some stage, an airline has to make a profit. Whether it's the onboard flowers, the onboard massage, the hot tub (a favourite of mine but admittedly not many others!), the second pillow, the onboard bar, Champagne downgraded to not Champagne, removal of the Tokyo & Sydney routes: it's been the race to the bottom for at least fifteen years. Sadly the differentiators between Virgin and its competitors are now so minimal, it's only the thin veneer of PR and (mostly) decent cabin crews that make any difference: not too many years ago I'd go out of my way, and pay more, to travel VS if I was travelling in business/Upper. Certainly going East, I'm now far more likely to suffer a midnight transit in the Middle East than I was ten years ago, partly due to Virgin's almost complete withdrawal. Going West, well, I've been avoiding that for the past five to ten years on any airline if I possibly can: I have zero desire to stand in line for an hour and a half at immigration after being wined & dined in a biz or First Class seat, only to suffer a frankly miserable ground experience.

I was going to pay extra to upgrade our seats (3) for our upcoming trip from Toronto to Amsterdam on KLM. After looking at the terrible reviews on Seat Guru I decided it was better to keep the seats I had booked and save the money. As far as airline food is concerned I think whatever level you decide to fly it's mediocre at best, the only exception I have had to that was once flying from Amsterdam to Toronto in the mid 80's on KLM when we where upgraded from business class to Royal Class the food and drink where exceptional.

KLM are certainly my preferred airline.

Virgin economy delight is what we always fly,3 inches more legroom,it doesn't sound much but it makes a huge difference...the food is usually rank on VA and the menu never looks any better in Premium Economy for me.

Taking this flight next month, what carry on luggage do you use? Seems so much easier then checking in luggage to just go through to security

It would be very interesting to know how you manage to pack light, every-time I fly it cost me an absolute fortune in baggage costs

I'm sneaky with my baggage. I try to lift the check-in luggage up as it's being weighed at the desk (got to see which person looks the weakest link on the check-in desk, as most are pretty switched-on), and cram everything I can on me and in my hand luggage. On a flight to Australia I had a check-in case, my carry-on case, a backpack, two massive plastic bags (with additional luggage), wore three coats, a duty free bottle of gin (which I drank onboard) and a load of items crammed in my coats. Looked like the Michelin man... but no way on Earth were they getting money off me for excess luggage! 🤣

I have flown on Virgin Atlantic and was not impressed. Small planes as well! Great Vlog!

I felt exactly the same Lee the VM premium cabin is not premium flew the same plane type to Atlanta, it used to be a lot lot better when they had the bigger planes and i agree if someone in the seat in front reclines you physically cannot get out, will not fly again waste of the extra cash.

Long haul as in to the Caribbean daytime flight coach, but it helps if you are tall for the overnight leg, as 10 hours stuck in a no legroom seat is not fun. During the day you can walk around, but it won't be popular to walk around at night.
