JA The Resort – JA Lake View Hotel, Dubai

Introduction

• The longest bed of any airline’s business class product and many first class products.
•  It provides passengers with customised luxury furniture for sitting on and a mattress for sleeping on so passengers do not have to compromise on the comfort of either.
• The 1-2-1 / 1-1-1 configuration means passengers have their own personal space with no ‘step over’ by other passengers.
• Passengers can recline in the seat even for take-off and landing!

The Upper Class Suite

• The Upper Class suite has been designed to be separately both the most comfortable bed and the most comfortable seat in the air.
•  Instead of extending from a seat into a bed, Virgin Atlantic’s seat provides the passenger with a luxury leather armchair to relax on which then flips over into a separate bed with a mattress to sleep on.
• The Upper Class Suite has won some of the most prestigious design awards in the industry including the Wallpaper award for the Most Life Enhancing Item and the D&AD Yellow Pencil (Silver) award for Product Design.

The Upper Class Wing at London Heathrow enables business passengers to speed through the terminal quicker than ever before, moving from limo to lounge in under 10 minutes. For the first time, passengers can benefit from a dedicated security channel, for use exclusively by Virgin Atlantic customers. After passing through this unique fast-track, they will emerge in the heart of the terminal building and only a short walk from the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse. Upper Class passengers and Flying Club Gold members making their own way to the airport can check-in at the Upper Class Check-In, in Zone A of the main terminal, before taking a priority lift straight to the dedicated security channel. For those Upper Class customers not wishing to linger and enjoy the delights of the Clubhouse they can check in 60 minutes prior to their scheduled departure time at the latest, and whizz through the dedicated security channel straight to the gate
