We recently flew with Virgin to New York. We'd flown Premium Economy in the past, and had always been impressed by the service.
Boarding was quick, and Premium Economy passengers were given priority ahead of Economy passengers - unlike British Airways.
The cabin was clean and the wide purple seats stood out as soon as we entered the aircraft. The seats themselves were very comfy, with adequate incline. We were given menus and 3 choices of meals - unlike BA.
Drinks were served in glass tumblers and the meal - which was nice - was served in china dish-ware with metal cutlery. This was a class above BA. The IFE screens were big, however the IFE wasn't fully functioning on the aircraft. The system had to be rebooted several times.
Overall, a pleasant experience onboard the A340.
