Virgin Upper Class
Hi guys, recently had the good fortune to be upgraded from Premium to Upper coming back from JNB.
This in itself was very nice- crew were good and I liked the service (apart from the awful picnic cutlery- might as well just throw the carrots from the salad on the floor!).
However, I found the seat in Upper Class very uncomfortable to sleep on. The padding on the seat was very hard, and this coupled with the smooth material it was covered with meant I kept slipping down the seat when it was reclined. I am only average height(5'11) but I found that the seat was not long enough for me, and my feet were jammed up against the underside of the seat in front, when my seat was reclined. In actual fact, I found the seat in Premium Economy was more comfortable (but only just!).
Certainly didn't think you could compare it to either of BA's premium class seats- in fact it makes me quite annoyed when Branson makes out he's competing against BA, when the two airlines premium products are so different.
