Virgin Atlantic Unveils New Seasonal Inflight Menu

Virgin Atlantic introduces its new Autumn/Winter onboard menu, featuring a fresh take on contemporary comfort food across all cabins. Inspired by customer favorites and crafted with premium ingredients, the new dishes strike the perfect balance between indulgence and wellness, creating a vibrant dining experience that’s unmistakably Virgin Atlantic.

The updated menu includes a contemporary breakfast offering, innovative seasonal dishes, an enhanced wine selection including dessert wines, and a mid-flight margherita pizza for Economy guests.

Beyond the cabin, Virgin Atlantic continues to elevate every part of its premium experience, with new investments across its Clubhouses and enhanced onboard amenities. At the heart of these new developments are The Signature Ten - a collection of Virgin Atlantic favorites including The Clubhouse Burger, The Red Head cocktail, Mile High Tea, the Virgin Atlantic Bloody Mary, and Cherry Pie in the Sky ice cream. Together, they showcase the airline’s playful, creative and distinctly premium approach to food and drink.

Waking up, Virgin Atlantic style

Recognizing that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, Virgin Atlantic has reimagined its morning meal service, focusing on inbound night flights, where guests most appreciate simplicity, balance and freshness.

Customers in Upper Class and Premium will enjoy a cold continental entrée, paired with a layered yogurt, fruit and granola bowl, a revitalizing start to the day that blends practicality with Virgin Atlantic’s signature touch.

Upper Class: a new era of elevated dining

Upper Class guests can look forward to a sophisticated new menu celebrating premium and comfort. Seasonal highlights include Bacon-wrapped chicken breast with braised red cabbage, creamed potatoes, green beans and chicken jus; Quinoa salad with leafy lettuce, creamy herb dressing, and chargrilled prawns; and a vegetarian Penang vegetable coconut curry with eggplant and oyster mushrooms and jasmine rice.

To complement the dishes, the new Upper Class wine list introduces a selection of global wines, alongside a dessert wine for the season, including wines from the English countryside including the airline’s signature Hambledon Classic Cuvée English Sparkling and a 2023 Hidden Spring Bacchus Fumé from East Sussex.

Upper Class customers also have the option of wellness drinks, including newly-added Revibed Raspberry & Açaí Superfood RTD and TRIP Elderflower Mindful Mint Blend with magnesium, lion’s mane and ashwagandha.

Premium dining at every altitude

Premium customers will experience the same reimagined breakfast service as Upper Class, designed with inbound flights in mind to provide balance and simplicity.

Among the new main courses is a comforting and deliciously satisfying Japanese style slow braised chicken kakuni with mixed vegetables and fragrant edamame rice.

The popular Mile High Tea also returns with refreshed patisserie items and new sweet and savory selections, making it one of the most loved moments of the inflight service.

Economy: feel good food for every flyer

Economy travelers can enjoy hearty, crowd-pleasing favorites such as Barbecue chicken with potato wedges, peas and carrots, and Cavatappi pasta with tomato cream sauce, mozzarella and sun-dried tomato.

Travelers can also enjoy the new mid-flight margherita pizza slice, served in a red Virgin Atlantic box featuring the slogan “slice slice baby”, a fun, feel-good favorite that’s perfectly Virgin Atlantic.

Hospitality: elevating the experience from lounge to landing

Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouses remain at the heart of its premium experience, offering guests an elevated experience before they fly. Following the successful opening of the Los Angeles Clubhouse in March, the airline is now working on a multi-million-pound investment to refurbish its London Heathrow and New York JFK Clubhouses, enhancing both spaces with a new design and elevated touches.

At the New York JFK Clubhouse, guests can also enjoy a refreshed seasonal menu which includes a roast winter squash; roast beetroot & orange salad; pan-friend salmon; chicken pot pie; butter chicken; roasted poblano mac & cheese; and cauliflower and potato masala. LAX Clubhouse guests will have the option of butter chicken; salmon poke bowl; California blood orange & fennel salad; a beyond burger; roasted pepper & courgette flatbread; and miso ramen. Guests in the IAD Clubhouse in Washington DC and SFO Clubhouse in San Francisco will have the option of a Lancashire hot pot with slow-braised lamb shoulder; winter kale Caesar salad; Tom Kha soup; roasted eggplant and potato curry; roast monkfish; and Greek flatbread. Signature cocktails will be available at each Clubhouse including the Empire in Bloom at JFK featuring Citron vodka, hibiscus tea, cointreau, St. Germaine, and hibiscus foam; and at LAX, the Twisted Angel featuring gin, Aperol, and a splash of citrus sass.
