I have the opportunity to fly to England next year on either an A330-900neo or an A350-1000. I've checked out both planes and it seems like the only difference between the two in upper class is the door on the A330-900neo. To those of you who have traveled upper class on these planes, which one would you choose and why?
Please note; aircraft swaps do happen with Virgin (but are normally stable 2-3 months leading up to the departure) so don’t book based solely on aircraft type.
Which route are you flying on??
However, after flying 3 times in UC on the neo (once in the retreat suites) and twice on A350, me and my partner prefer the neo.
Yes it has a privacy door, but that’s not the sole reason. For us, more space, more storage space, Bluetooth connectivity with wireless headphones to IFE, wireless charging and USB A & C charging ports.
For me the Neo is more comfortable, but the A350 is a great option. Much better than the old A330, and 787 Boeing….
So whether you pick Neo or A350, you will definitely enjoy UC on these
