- I spent $1,100 to fly upper class with Virgin Atlantic from Manchester, England, to New York.
- The three-course dinner was delicious, and I slept comfortably.
- I thought the Virgin Atlantic aircraft would benefit from more storage space.
Flying in a more luxurious class than economy was on my bucket list, but I couldn’t afford it until I came across a deal to upgrade my flight from Manchester, England, to New York City earlier this year.
While looking at ticket prices, I noticed Virgin Atlantic, deemed one of the world’s top 20 airlines, had a deal to fly upper class for $1,100.
The Virgin Atlantic upper-class tickets I’ve seen usually cost considerably more — I’ve seen them as pricey as $8,000 — so I snapped up the deal.
My original flight cost $865, with a premium-economy ticket from New York to Manchester and an economy ticket from Manchester to New York.
Here’s what flying upper class on Virgin Atlantic was like.
