In this review, I will share the full Virgin Atlantic A350 experience in Economy. Just how impressive is Virgin's new flagship aircraft?
Virgin Atlantic have long been known for their competitive prices and a unique style. For my first review of the airline I flew from London Heathrow to New York JFK airport on their brand new Airbus A350. Virgin have upgraded their economy class product with the new jet but what can you expect on-board? As always I will share my final thoughts at the end of the review.

I've flown with them. All I can say is that one person's "cool" is another person's "tacky". I fall into the latter. I don't want to be served "brekkie". I'm not a five year old. I also don't want a check in desk to resemble a disco from the year the airline was founded. I think Virgin has lost all the cool trend setting status. Look at its it's new business class compared with ANA. Comparing you and Virgin. You are very much the cool one in my eyes.

Hi Blake how we doing mate I have flown with virgin to orlando twice on a boeing 747 we are due to fly out to orlando again in June and have been just notified that it is a a350 we flying on which is fantastic because i have a mate that flys the a350 with virgin so happy days he is requesting the flight . Just one question how come you didn't use the belly camera it's meant to be awesome .

As an American, my only regret is that I can only fly Virgin when connecting through the UK now (no more Virgin America, sadly) . Other than that, they're my favorite airline because they make travel so much nicer for the average traveler, without making it too pretentious or expensive.

@@nicholasmackenzie-rowe68 I have to admit the "room" seat on ANA's business class is super interesting and I prefer it to the diagonal layout in Virgin's upper class definitely, but nobody matches the charm and charisma of Virgin Atlantic's crew and staff. I love the mood lighting (although, yes, sometimes it's a bit intense) and the fresh flowers and check in experience actually make me WANT to check in personally instead of electronically. Overall, Virgin is such a warm and pleasant experience. Very hard to find a consistently better way to travel at that price point

Just got back to the UK from my return trip to los angeles. Have to say I'm not blown away by virgin. It was on the A350 for both flights in economy and it was OK - cabin crew are decent and efficient but nothing that special like Singapore Airlines e.g. but what disappointed me was the legroom. It felt very tight and barely slept on the night flight. Also the meals were OK but need better attention. You just get a box with a couple things in it. A proper meal tray with several options is a must, as emirates do.

We have got so used to flying on ageing 737’s short haul its a massive eye opener when you fly on a Dreamliner how far aviation technology has come in the last few years,

Another quality review Blake!! I've seen better of Virgin to be honest, are you sure that the meal in eco light is the same as regular economy? I know that TAP now have 4 or 5 different fares with or without food, it makes it pretty confusing.. Anyways based on this review nearly every other carrier offers better service to the States than Virgin. Some suggestions for 2020 A LOT Polish flight DUS-BLL Sun Air on behalf of BA STR or ZRH-LYS. Twinjet FMO or GRQ-CPH AIS Airlines Aeroflot because they are very underrated, you can get pretty good eco fares to Asia.

Hi Blake, wow...what a cheap price in Eco light, thumbs UP!👍 But unfortunately not with a seat selection in advance (window) For an avgeek like me a MUST HAVE (ALWAYS, not only long haul)😜 The question is, 100€ more for a "save" window seat in standard Eco or the risk to get an aisle or middle seat by check in :-( How was your experiece especially by this flight and what is your point of view in this case generally?

Of course you will generally receive more food in a higher class. My point was that even for economy the portions were small. I have flown with United, Lufthansa end Emirates long haul who all offer more substantial meals in economy.

Not a chance mate!!! My family and I flew with them to and from Florida a few weeks ago and they were TERRIBLE!!! In every single way. I regularly use 3 other airlines and Virgin is by far the worst in every way.
