Virgin Atlantic’s Economy class aims to give maximum value for money.
With an average seat pitch of 31", economy seats are designed to maximise legroom, so you'll have plenty of room to relax and stretch your limbs during your flight. New seats also have adjustable headrests and lumber supports!
Every seat has its own seatback TV with a choice of channels to keep everyone entertained throughout the flight.
We're dedicated to bringing you the very latest movies, comedy, sports, drama and kids shows. On many of our flights each seat also comes with its own video games console with up to 35 games.
And, rolling out across the fleet, is the very latest video on-demand, which means you can pause, fast forward or rewind, just like at home.
There is such a thing as a free lunch; we offer a free meal and free drinks on all our flights. You can forget the usual jokes about airline food, ours is delicious and with enough notice we can even tailor our catering for some specific dietary requirements that you may have i.e.
Kosher, Vegetarian,
Gluten-free,
Medical Meals (These need to be booked through Special Assistance)
Fly with us in Economy and the little surprises start when you get to your seat and check out the free amenity kit. Out of the UK, it’s a trendy little backpack with everything you could want on your flight, including: Eyeshades, Socks, Toothbrush and Toothpaste
Those 'little extra's are what makes Virgin Atlantic stand out from the rest: Seatback magazine, Free newspaper at the gate on flights from the UK., Free goodie bag for kids,
