Looks great, but one question @TheLodgeGuys what if you don't collect airmiles what is the cost of upper class round trip , as we don't collect airmiles as don't travel that often
This is an incredible review but Upper Class... it's weird... because it certainly isn't cheap but it feels it in places especially compared to other airlines it feels very much like a business class labelled as Upper but the space / bar in the upper class area is a lovely touch. Thanks for sharing,
Actually doing this same flight in upper class. Seen a video of upper class suites and for me they look better and more luxurious. Will have keep this in mind I think 👌
Pleased to see my tip of upgrading with miles at the airport worked out for you! I'm hoping we can upgrade to 1st on the way out when we go in 10 days!
I would probably make the mistake of inviting the wrong seat no. To ‘Dine at mine’ 🤣 The food looks sensational! The chunk of beef was huge! We will definitely be saving up those miles to upgrade on day! 🖤
How long was queue when you got off? We didnt wait long at Sanford when we flew premium but with virgin into Orlando int flying economy we waited 2 hrs. Just wondered if with first class it was quicker?
Manchester planes arrive first at MCO so immigration is empty when you arrive, upper get off first so literally you first in the queue, in March we got through in 10-15 mins in October literally 1 min
Ah so best get first flight out manchester, will know for next time. We got second flight at 11am so we had 2hr in Orlando, wait it was painful and hot.
Good review. We’ve flown upper class with Virgin from Manchester a couple of times and don’t think it’s worth the upgrade or paying extra. We travel to South Africa and the Far East frequently and Virgin UC doesn’t compare to Business Class with other airlines especially the Asian ones. There is no privacy the closer to the nose you get and seats 6A & 6C are just awful. Apart from the main course the food is the same in premium. The amenity bag is full of cheap plastic items too. I don’t know of any other business class seats where you have to ask the crew to make the bed down. The bed has to be flipped over and doesn’t glide back and forth as you would expect. I’d rather travel Air France business class and spend an extra hour in the air than go with Virgin.
I tend to agree with you, and would not look to flying VS Upper class. From Heathrow you do have their own lounge which is probably the best experience of the event. The seat monument is also too rigid and feels like your in a hospital morgue. MAN needs a Clubhouse lounge as in Heathrow to make the experience worthwhile. And yes I agree Air France long haul business is excellent and the food is amazing, keep it quiet don’t tell everyone!
a combination of tesco club card linked to our flying account and we channel all spend via our credit card, plus you get a bonus when you set one up, and of course there is the miles themselves for flying
Not sure if it works the same for Virgin Upper Class, but a lot of the airlines allows you to invite a guest from economy to join you in upper class or First for meals and drinks.
Sooo much food! Will you ever by able to go right again???!! That’s what I fear, if I can ever afford to do it then that’s it from then on, never to go back to cattle class! To be fair virgin economy isn’t too bad
fantastic review well done guys

I like the idea of being ‘rolled off the plane’ 👍🏻😂...

Everyone's goes into the same queue at MCO for immigration and I think I've only ever once got through in under an hour 🙄 Sanford is so much better.
Manchester planes arrive first at MCO so immigration is empty when you arrive, upper get off first so literally you first in the queue, in March we got through in 10-15 mins in October literally 1 min
Ah so best get first flight out manchester, will know for next time. We got second flight at 11am so we had 2hr in Orlando, wait it was painful and hot.
It would be hard to ever go back from first class after that!!

Aww, poor Leigh, he was invited over by Nick, then was told to clear off after he had eaten 😞
Sonya that’s just Nicks humour 😆

Will you ever by able to go right again???!!
