Virgin Atlantic Reinvents Premium Economy Class

Since inventing a cabin between business & economy back in 1992 Virgin Atlantic's Premium Economy class has been the benchmark in its category. Along the way many airlines have attempted to imitate the concept (how very flattering) and this continues today with a number of carriers recently joining the club.

New Premium Economy

In recent months our Premium Economy cabin has undergone a $18m revamp raising the bar to another level. Enhancements include:

• Increase in Premium Economy capacity to 38 seats
• New wider leather seat - largest in its class
• Devoted cabin crew
• Upgraded meals served on china (Recent surveys reveal record Premium Economy meal satisfaction by passengers rating it good/excellent)
• Devoted cabin crew

The seat combines a 38 inch seat pitch with a width of 21 inches, which is wider than BA Clubworld & CX Business Class, and around 3 inches wider than other airline's Premium Economy products. In addition, Premium Economy passengers already enjoy:

• Dedicated check-in
• Priority boarding
• Pre-flight bubbly and refreshments
• Fresh fruit and after dinner liqueurs
• 6 inches more legroom than in Economy class
• Adjustable head and foot rests
• Two dedicated washrooms
• Amenity kit
• Laptop power
• A selection of newspapers and magazines
• Flying Club - 150% of base Economy class mileage
• 300 hours of video/audio entertainment ON DEMAND
