Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner ‘Economy Delight’ - too funky for their own good?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a review of the Virgin Atlantic Economy Delight product on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner during a long-haul flight from London to Johannesburg. The review compares this tier to standard economy, noting that the upgrade costs an additional 100 pounds and provides three extra inches of legroom, priority boarding, and advanced seat assignments. The creator observes that the extra legroom is noticeable and beneficial for stretching out during an eleven hour flight. The experience includes a funky safety video, a gin and tonic with pretzels, and an evening meal consisting of creamy mac and cheese. While the creator finds the legroom to be a blessing for physical well-being, they report difficulty sleeping due to an uncomfortable neck pillow and the loss of earplugs. The breakfast service, described as a partial English, was found to be unappetizing. The video concludes with the creator stating that Economy Delight was worth the extra cost, but they transition to a second part of the review to compare the experience with Premium Economy.
