Virgin offers three distinct classes of service. Virgin Atlantic now offers 3 different Economy products. When you choose to fly Virgin Atlantic Economy, you'll enjoy all the creature comforts we've become famous for, with more choice and control over the features you layer on top. Economy Delight means you can speed through the airport by using Premium check in desks, enjoy priority boarding, and get first dibs on overhead storage before settling into your extra legroom seat with 34" seat pitch. Economy Classic comes with advanced seat assignment included*, so there's no worries about paying extra to get the seats you want, next to the people you want. And if you're happy to pack less, Economy Light means you still get everything you’d expect on a great flight - but at a price you wouldn’t. All our new Economy services include delicious food, entertainment and irresistible personal service. Whichever you choose, you can start your journey quickly and easily by checking in online 24 hours before departure.
