Best Seats on the Virgin Atlantic Airbus A350-1000
Virgin's A350-1000 fleet operates Upper Class in a 1-2-1 layout plus the iconic Loft onboard social space. Virgin deliberately skipped a full sliding door on this seat in favour of one of the longest business class beds in the sky at 82 inches — you get a partial privacy panel and a digital do-not-disturb indicator instead.
