- Virgin Atlantic Airways has spent billions on new aircraft to revamp its fleet.
- I flew on Virgin for the first time in economy on its Airbus A350-1000 from New York to London.
- The cabin is new as of 2019, and I think it’s one of the better options across the Atlantic.
Virgin Atlantic Airways has spent billions of dollars to completely transform its fleet.
This includes acquiring a dozen next-generation Airbus A350-1000s since 2019. They are Virgin’s largest planes, and the airline has introduced them with upgraded business and economy-class cabins.
I recently ditched my go-to airline, Delta, to experience the new A350 economy class on a July flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to London Heathrow Airport.
This was my first time flying Virgin, and I had high expectations for what Skytrax considers one of the world’s top 20 best airlines.
I was impressed with the small comfort touches that made for an easy ride to London.
