When flying transatlantic routes, seat choice can make a big difference in comfort and overall experience.
Business Class
- American Airlines’ reverse‑herringbone seats on the 777‑200 are highlighted as “great” and among the most comfortable options for a 7‑hour‑plus flight.
- The best seats in Virgin Atlantic’s 787‑9 Upper Class are the window seats on the “A” side, offering a direct view and a slightly more private feel despite the aisle‑facing layout.🔗
Premium Economy
- Virgin Atlantic’s Premium Economy seats can be as wide as 21 inches on the A330‑200 and A350, making them one of the roomier transatlantic options for lateral space.
- British Airways’ World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) provides 18.5 inches of width and 38 inches of pitch, which is standard but still comfortable for long‑haul travel.🔗
Economy
- Lufthansa’s “Sleeper’s Row” in economy offers a “poor man’s premium” experience for a modest price, giving extra legroom compared to standard economy seats.

Review: Virgin Atlantic 787-9 Upper Class London to New York
As part of my Business class flights from Amsterdam to New York, my last leg was from London (LHR) to New York (JFK). I flew from Amsterdam (AMS) to London (LHR) on KLM and had about a 2-hour connection in London before my flight to New York. I had booked the flight for 45,000 Virgin Points and about $450, and the only flight available at this price point was on board the Virgin Atlantic 787-9 Business Class, which is listed as one of their more inferior products. But, as I had never flown it before, I was excited to give
