Upper Class Review on Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9. What is this?

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the Upper Class cabin on a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flying from Seattle to London Heathrow. They begin by critiquing the cabin layout, noting that the chevron configuration lacks privacy and can feel haphazard. While the seats are wider than those on the new A350, the reviewers find them somewhat confining and dislike that they face away from the windows. They also highlight a lack of convenient storage space for personal electronics. The dining experience receives high praise, specifically the premium cocktails, wine selection, and high quality desserts. The cabin crew is singled out as the absolute highlight of the service, described as friendly, helpful, and an absolute credit to the airline. Ultimately, the reviewers conclude that the product feels like a mix of business class and premium economy. They suggest that while the service is excellent, the cabin is only worth the upgrade if secured at a significant discount relative to premium economy.
