The Upper Class Suite is Virgin Atlantic's premium business class product, offering a stylish design, direct aisle access, and a sliding privacy door for an enhanced, private flight experience.
What Is an Upper Class Suite?
The Upper Class Suite is Virgin Atlantic's premium business class product, featuring a sliding privacy door, direct aisle access from every seat, and a fully lie-flat bed. It is the airline's flagship cabin experience, positioned to compete directly with international first class offerings from other carriers despite being marketed as business class.
Virgin Atlantic introduced the Upper Class Suite as part of a broader cabin redesign to modernize its long-haul fleet. The suite reflects the airline's long-standing reputation for distinctive, design-forward cabins, updating that legacy with the privacy and personal space that premium travelers now expect on long-haul flights.
Key Features
Each Upper Class Suite is arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, guaranteeing direct aisle access regardless of seat assignment. The seat converts into a fully lie-flat bed measuring up to 82 inches in length. A sliding door encloses each suite, creating a private, semi-enclosed space separate from the aisle and neighboring passengers. The suite includes dedicated storage, a personal television screen, and adjustable seating positions for dining, working, or sleeping.
Where to Find It
The Upper Class Suite flies exclusively on Virgin Atlantic's Airbus A350 and A330neo aircraft. Passengers booking Upper Class on routes operated by these aircraft types can expect the suite configuration; other aircraft in Virgin Atlantic's fleet may feature earlier generations of the Upper Class seat without the sliding privacy door.
Traveler Tip
Confirm your aircraft type before booking, since only the A350 and A330neo carry the Upper Class Suite with the privacy door. Odd-numbered suites in the front row offer slightly more personal space. CEOFLIGHTS specialists can help find discounted fares — call (888) 851-6897.
