Economy meal service

Drink being served in Economy

Two years of thorough research, expert design and extensive onboard trialling have all lead up the innovative, new Virgin Atlantic Economy meal experience.


The result is our best ever meal experience. An innovative, exciting, new take on dining that we're very proud of. You can look forward to something that feels much more like what you’d experience on the ground, with loads of those perfectly considered surprises you’ve come to expect from Virgin Atlantic.

When the plane takes off, you'll be handed our brand new menu. It's packed full of things to whet your appetite.

Welcome Cocktail

On most flights, it’s then time for our drinks service, including the new Welcome Cocktail. A refreshing mix of fruit juices with or without vodka, it’s served in our fabulous new purple glass.  You can also choose from our usual wide selection of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks too.

Taste the difference

When we start serving your meal, you'll notice the tray is smaller, giving you more space on your tray table, but somehow we've managed to give you even more food. We've enhanced our selection of produce too.

Three course meal

One of our most exciting improvements is the fact we've separated everything into courses - entrée and main are served first, followed by dessert.

Dessert after dining

Then, after we've cleared your tray away, we serve a delicious dessert with coffee, tea, or, our new addition on night flights, hot chocolate. On our shorter night flights, you'll still find dessert on your tray so you can maximise your sleep time.
