No standout or problem seats in this cabin.
The Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 258 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Every seat is rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 21A, 21C, 21D, 21F, 21G, 21H. Another 47 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
No seats are flagged to avoid on this configuration. As a rule, the last rows of Economy, seats beside a galley or lavatory, and middle seats are the ones travellers skip first.
Upper Class on the Virgin Atlantic 787-9 uses a herringbone-style layout with solo seats that convert to a full flat bed. Every seat has direct aisle access, and the configuration means no stepping past a neighbour to get up. The cabin is more intimate than the Upper Class section on a larger 777 or A350.
Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy is a genuine step up — wider seat, more recline, a dedicated meal service, and a more generous baggage allowance. On transatlantic routes of eight hours or more, the extra space makes a practical difference. The two-seat window positions in the two-three-two layout are the pick of the Premium Economy cabin.
Window seats on each side give you the fuselage lean and one fewer neighbour. An exit row or bulkhead window seat is the strongest combination. The centre three-seat block is the one to avoid solo. Mid-cabin rows are quieter than the rear cluster — and Virgin Atlantic Economy tends to carry competitive legroom, so a standard mid-cabin window seat is a solid starting point.
