Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner ‘Premium Economy’ - Great food, broken seat!

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the Premium Economy cabin on a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner during a long-haul return journey. The review compares the experience to the Economy Delight service previously tested. The creator notes that the Premium Economy section features a two three two seating configuration with larger windows and more spacious seats providing 21 inches of width and a 38 inch pitch. Amenities include a sculpted pillow, a large blanket, an amenity kit with an eye mask, and a glass of champagne before takeoff. While the food service utilizes real crockery and cutlery and is described as flavorful, the creator encounters several hardware issues. Specifically, the seat screen displays an error message, a button is missing from the handset, and the seat does not tilt properly due to suspected damage. Despite these mechanical flaws, the creator concludes that the extra legroom and reclining capabilities result in a much better sleep than in economy. The reviewer ultimately recommends the service as a significant upgrade over economy class.
