The new Airbus A350-1000s will carry 397 passengers, compared to 335 on the main fleet. An extra 90 seats will be fitted into Economy, with Premium Economy remaining the same at 56 seats and Upper Class reduced from 44 to 16.
The Upper Class Booth will seat just two passengers separated by a single leaf table. Virgin said the styling was designed to be in tune with the airline’s larger Loft space featured on the main A350 fleet. The Loft has replaced the bar area now found only on Virgin’s A330 and Boeing 787 fleet.
