Every measurement and claim on this page traces back to one of these. Last verified Jul 14, 2026.

  • Virgin Atlantic AirwaysPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 14, 2026

    Current A350-1000 page: separate Loft and Booth subfleets, assigned registrations, 44/56/36/199 and 16/56/33/292 marketed seat counts, seat dimensions, and links to the two official seating-plan images.

    The Booth registration list omits G-VELJ even though Virgin's current general fleet page lists it and Virgin's 2024 press kit assigns it to the 397-seat configuration. The page embeds a December 2022 Booth map that still visually marks the original 45-seat Economy Delight block, conflicting with the page's current explicit count of 33.

How this map was built

Virgin's current A350 page explicitly assigns seven registrations to the M01 Loft configuration and gives 44 Upper Class, 56 Premium, 36 Economy Delight and 199 Economy Classic/Light seats. The official M01 image is transcribed row-by-row: Upper Class rows 1-11 (44, 1-2-1); Premium rows 21-27 (56, 2-4-2); Economy rows 45-52 full, Door 3 row 53 with side pairs plus centre D/F/G, rows 54-70 full, and centre-only row 71 (235 total, 3-3-3 base). Economy Delight is a seat-type tier within one Economy cabin: left rows 54-56, centre 54-58 and right 54-57 = 36; row 53 side pairs are physically extra-legroom exit seats but are labeled separately from Delight and therefore retain the containing Y tier. Preferred Seat blocks are zones, not cabins. Window alignment remains unknown on window-position seats because the schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment; no A350 engineering window grid exists in the repository. Furniture and bassinet placement are read from the schematic; exact seat-adjacent flags use the nearest seat positions. Published pitch values are all phrased as 'up to' and the schema lacks a maximum-only measurement field, so those figures are retained in legroomNotes rather than encoded as exact pitch values.
