Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm very used to the BA lounges where aside from the odd exception, most of the staff there border between apathetic and hostile, so this was a real breath of fresh air.

The service from the Kuruman Virgin was so much better than BA, good couple of notches above and significantly more proactive.

Overall though, I was pretty happy with this flight and had a very enjoyable travel day as a whole.

It's basically 10 12,000 points to upgrade from economy to premium economy in my mind.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid the busy main areas of Heathrow Terminal 3 if you don't have lounge access.
βœ“Look for saver reward flights to get the best value on points bookings.
βœ“Pre-book meals online to ensure your choice, especially if sitting in the back row.

Is Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy worth the upgrade? And how does it compare to close competitors like British Airways premium economy? Today I’m flying on a Virgin Atlantic A330-900neo in premium economy from London Heathrow to Boston to find out. How is the seat, the service, and the premium economy food? But not only that, thanks to a recent status match, I’ve achieved Virgin Atlantic Gold Status, so I’ll be able to visit the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge at Heathrow Terminal 3.
