Virgin Atlantic new Upper Class seat to take off
A NEW “revolutionary” Upper Class seat product is coming to Virgin Atlantic’s 12 Airbus A350-1000s, which the airline will begin taking delivery of from the middle of next year.
Speaking to Business Traveller, Virgin Atlantic’s senior vice president of sales and customer loyalty, Oliver Byers, said that the A350-1000 was “a great opportunity for [Virgin] to introduce a new upper class seat product”, adding that further details will be announced early in 2019.
“We’ve seen it, I’ve sat in it, it’s a fantastic seat,” he added. “What you’ll see is that it’s a next-generation product but it’s incredibly Virgin Atlantic – it’s exactly what you would think Virgin Atlantic is in terms of the look and feel, the design, the feel of the cabin and the warmth of the environment.” virginatlantic.com
