Thank you for your patience! It's about time I start posting some content that's not just Transcontinental back to backs! Join me on this 8.5 hour hop across the Atlantic from sunny Miami to London Heathrow onboard the UK's second largest airline, Virgin Atlantic's newest addition to the fleet. How does their A330-900neo fare against my previous flights across the Atlantic on Air Canada? Watch my review to catch a glimpse of the experience!

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!

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. 😊

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 :(

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?

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

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.
