Virgin Atlantic has up to 36 Economy Delight seats per flight, positioned in rows of two or three along each side of the economy cabin. On our A330 plane we had rows of two seats separated by a middle row of four classic/light seats. The A340 has two rows of four Economy Delight seats which may suit families better.
All Virgin Atlantic premium economy seats measure 38 inches of pitch. That's 7 more inches of legroom than what's installed in most long-haul economy seats — including Virgin Atlantic's. And it's 4 more inches of legroom than what you'll find in Virgin Atlantic's extra-legroom Economy Delight seats.
There are some differences however, the most noticeable of which are seat width and pitch (legroom). Pitch can vary from 28-34 in and width from 17-33 in. While these few inches might not seem like much now, when you're in that seat for 6+ hours – they matter!
Economy class seats usually recline and have a fold-down table. Seat pitch ranges from 28 to 36 inches (71 to 91 cm), usually 30–32 in (76–81 cm), and 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) for international economy class seats. Domestic economy seat width ranges from 17 to 18.25 in (43.2 to 46.4 cm).
The cheapest way to get a business or first-class ticket is to buy an economy ticket then buy an upgrade. You can either do this immediately after booking or look for last-minute upgrades as your travel date approaches. The price for premium cabin fares decreases as you get closer to departure.
