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.

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.

Your sanctuary at the waterhole - Last Word Madikwe

Is the newest addition to "The Last Word Collection" and promises incredible, once-in-a-lifetime sightings right from the lodge and lovingly tended garden as herds of animals gather all day long at the ancient waterhole just meters away. The area’s original photographic underground hide also shares a unique view of this spectacle.

In the spirit of oasis and sanctuary, Last Word Madikwe is a completely unique safari experience. Twice daily games drives to track the Big Five are a guest favourite, but the true difference is to be found right at the lodge itself. The house pours on to green and tranquil gardens which flow to the ancient waterhole just meters from the lawn’s end. It is a place most of the animals visit daily and one can see large interactive herds of elephant, lions, leopard, buffalo, dogs, white and black rhino, and many more just by relaxing in a garden seat enjoying a drink or snack. Madikwe’s original underground hide steals right up to the waterhole where aspiring photographers can catch the shot of a lifetime. Birdlife is abundant and although you will see many different species while out on game drive, many love to visit the inviting garden area and will often join you for breakfast. And it’s malaria free.
