128 economy seats On its existing A330neos, Virgin offers 32 Upper Class pods, two of which are Retreat Suites, plus 46 Premium recliners and 184 economy seats. In total, Virgin expects to add more than 400 additional business-class seats daily on popular business and leisure routes to New York, Boston, Tampa, Miami and Orlando. The addition of more Retreat Suites implies that this extra-spacious business-class-plus product has been selling well since it was introduced in 2022. Though Virgin Atlantic only plans to operate three aircraft types going forward (the Airbus A330neo, the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner), the airline is no stranger to subfleets with different LOPAs to accommodate different demand patterns. For instance, the airline recently debuted a high-density configuration for its Airbus A350 that it flies to popular leisure destinations across India and the U.S. Virgin will majorly upgrade the Boeing 787 ZACH GRIFF/THE POINTS GUY In addition to the premium push on the A330neo, Virgin will also make a major investment in its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fleet. Beginning in 2028, the airline will start retrofitting these jets with significantly upgraded seats across all three cabins. These planes currently feature one of the oldest business-class products in the Virgin fleet, and this news is not only long overdue but also a welcome enhancement for anyone who has recently flown the airline's 787-9. Unfortunately, this project won't get underway for at least another 2 1/2 years. The business-class cabin on this jet is woefully uncompetitive on many routes this plane flies, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has avoided the "coffin" pods on the Dreamliner whenever possible. While these planes are getting retrofitted, they'll also get more premium, as you can see in the breakdown below. Eight Retreat Suites
