Virgin upgrades Economy meal service

Virgin Atlantic has introduced a brand new offering in its Economy Class cabin with a fresh new take on aircraft dining.  With Virgin all drinks are complimentary, highlighted by The Welcome Cocktail – “A refreshing mix of fruit juices with or without vodka, served in a fabulous new purple glass with a stylish, quirky, new swizzle stick that makes the drink uniquely Virgin Atlantic. 

Economy passengers will now receive a brand new menu and their meal on a new soft touch, non-slip meal tray.  Introduced is bespoke crockery and unique, ergonomically designed cutlery.  On shorter flights a cold breakfast or quintessentially British afternoon tea will now be served in a deli-style box adorned with the words ‘High Tea’ or ‘Good Morning’ in the widely spoken languages on board including German, French, Spanish, Hindu, Mandarin, Arabic and, of course English.

Dessert comes separately and are larger, served with a choice of tea, coffee or now a comforting mug of hot chocolate on night flights.  The cup features the word ‘Slurp’ on its side in the seven most spoken languages on board. .

Virgin has also come up with what it calls “The usherette tray” a retro fun way for cabin crew to serve ice cream. www.virgin-atlantic.com
