Virgin Atlantic will shortly offer three new economy-class options on its flights – ‘Economy Delight’, ‘Economy Classic’, and ‘Economy Light’.
Economy Delight will offer 86cm of leg-room, priority check-in and boarding, and advance seat assignment. In Economy Classic, passengers can expect free seat assignment, which provides reassurance for groups and families who wish to sit together, while Economy Light will offer Virgin Atlantic’s lowest fare, and comes with the standard inclusive drink, service, and inflight entertainment system.
The new options form part of a larger Virgin Atlantic investment in its economy cabins which include: retrofitting 36 Economy Delight seats on every aircraft automated bag drops at London airports, with four kiosks opening in Gatwick in the summer, and 18 in Heathrow in the winter; USB points for every seat; and access to WiFi on every route.
All economy-class passengers will continue to receive a three-course meal and complimentary drinks and snacks.
