Virgin Atlantic splits economy class into three tiers

Virgin Atlantic has announced the launch of three new ways to fly economy as part of a multi-million-pound investment in the cabin for the 21st century traveller.

Recognising that one size doesn’t fit all, from spring this year Virgin Atlantic will introduce Economy Delight, Economy Classic and Economy Light tickets.

The three new ways to fly will allow customers to choose the product that suits their budget and travel style – but never compromise on inclusive food and drink, unrivalled service, and inflight entertainment.

Economy Delight will offer a seat with 34-inch legroom, priority check in and boarding as well as advanced seat assignment.

Economy Classic will now offer free seat assignment – providing extra reassurance for families and groups that they can sit together.
