Why fly economy

ECONOMY CLASS

Virgin Atlantic’s Economy class aims to give maximum value for money.

With an average seat pitch of 31", our 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 lumbar supports!


INDIVIDUAL SEATBACK TV

V-port
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.
