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.
There's no doubt at all that the service from the Kuruman Virgin was so much better than BA, good couple of notches above and significantly more proactive.
Overall, I'm not sure if I'd pay cash for this unless it was quite a cheap upgrade from economy. However, as a points booking, it's a fairly easy no-brainer for me.
It's worth noting as well in this flight that amenities were completely lacking, right down to the lack of soap in the bathroom, which is inexcusable.

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.
