I found that many people like these reviews, so I thought I would do one for Virgin Atlantic for a recent flight from Seattle to London (Heathrow).

You can see some of my previous reviews on the site as well:

• Singapore Airlines
• Delta, KLM and Air France
• Emirates Airlines

Now, here is an important tip that many people need to be aware of if they are frequent flyers and love to use the club lounge. Virgin is partnered with Delta and Delta has a large ownership stake…and the lounge in Seattle for Virgin is the Delta lounge, but…

Even if you are a Diamond frequent flyer on Delta and you bought the ticket through Delta using a code share…you cannot get into the Delta lounge unless you are seated in Upper (business class). An interesting change they just published because the clubs are getting so crowded.

The boarding is quite fast and I must admit that 250 people are loaded faster than I have ever encountered in recent years. Overall the seats look quite fancy and modern, but they are actually quite cramped and limited usability.

Many people like the lie flat beds with dedicated bedding, but they take a flight attendant to setup and then take down. You cannot easily switch back and forth.

The bonus is they do give you pajamas though!

The video screens are a little small, but they have very fast response and are convenient in how you can move them around.

On the food side, the dishes were tasty, but the portion sizes felt a little small and you needed all courses to feel comfortably full.

Now the lounge in the UK was much more welcoming and exciting to try out. I am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing when the elevator to the lounge has a mini sofa to sit on…

but the food service is amazing. It is actually a sit down service at a table. Check out the menu.
