I’ve flown VA Premium transatlantic between Miami and LHR many times over the last twenty years. Overall, I’ve always had a positive experience. The crew do an amazing job. If you can afford to upgrade, do it.
Red wine in a bottle still would be ice cold. Effectively they’d have to heat the wine if you want it room temperature. Don’t get confused this is premium economy I’d say it’s a fair improvement from standard economy
Another thing to note, which you referred to was the decline in the Premium Economy seat. Yes the A330-900neo has fresh and innovative features in the PE cabin. The pitch is still a generous 38' but as you noted the width at 18.5' is only 0.5' wider than economy! Worse the width on the older A330-300 was a premium 21' that's -2.5' or 15% less!
Agree totally with you about the wine in cans. Thank God I'm not a drinker anymore. Virgin have been told many times over in feedback and every review I have seen about this. Unfortunately, and dangerously, they won't listen, It's so obvious it's to save money + ease of recycling but if one is going to market a product as premium then this really makes a mockery.
Personally I would never book (or understand the rush for front seats), even for the advantage of leg space, simply for what you discovered ie noise ctraeted by traffic from the galley, toilets and Loft not to mention the potential for small children. A quick check on Seat Guru shows all the caution seating. To think Virgin's new owners are now charging for these 'premium' seats!
Most of this review is not significantly informative. Turn offs include the comment about a female pilot like that has anything to do with anything? As long as the pilot has the training and experience what does it matter about gender? Also the comment about the fake leather seats saving a bunch of cows...really? Like its better to protect a lot of methane producing cows?! A few other comments were made which I felt were irrelevant. I will be flying on this aircraft and feel I should post a review.
chatty virtue signaling reviewer is a misogynist. For me, it doesn't matter the pilot being man or woman. This paternalistic misogynist has to point out its a woman.....I guess she thinks most women aren't capable. Secret: The louder they virtue signal - the more snobby they are. (Bad tipper too....)
1:16 I appreciate the sweet voiced narrator for promoting kindness to cows 💗🐄 thank you Virgin Atlantic.

Probably the most snobbish review I’ve seen. It’s good though to get an honest opinion!
I felt the same….very snobby
