Virgin Atlantic's First A330neo: What Do You Think?

Started by AVGuy962 2 weeks ago 3 replies 32 views
So, Virgin Atlantic just took delivery of their first Airbus A330neo. It's got that new livery with the updated Virgin logo, which I think looks pretty slick on the A330's lines. They're saying it'll be on the London Heathrow to Boston route first. Anyone got thoughts on the A330neo itself? I've read it's supposed to be super fuel-efficient and has those new Airspace cabins.

I haven't flown on one yet, but I'm curious about what passengers will think of the new cabin layout. Also, any guesses on where they'll deploy the rest of the A330neos once they get more? I wonder if they'll retire some of the older A330s or A340s. Could be a big shift for them. Anyway, love to hear if anyone's got more details or opinions on how this will impact Virgin's fleet and routes!
I'm excited to see the A330neo in action. It seems like a smart move for Virgin with its fuel efficiency, especially with rising fuel costs. The Airspace cabins sound promising too. As for routes, I bet they'll stick to high-traffic transatlantic routes first, like JFK or LAX. Maybe they'll phase out some older A330s, but I think the A340s are the likely ones to go first. Anyone know if they're planning to retrofit their current fleet with the new cabin design?
I'm really curious about those Airspace cabins too. The mood lighting and all the extra space they keep talking about sounds intriguing. Haven't flown on one either, but I imagine it'll be a big hit if it lives up to the hype. As for where they'll deploy the rest, maybe the New York routes? Seems like a good fit for such a high-demand connection. And yeah, the A340s could be on their way out soon. Heard they're not the most economical jets to keep around these days.
