Virgin Atlantic has an interesting feature which not many people are aware of – passengers in the Premium or Upper Class cabin can pre-select their meal before their flight.
There are two reasons why this is useful:
- Your meal choice is guaranteed, important especially if your seat is further back in the cabin
- Some meal options are only available if pre-ordered
Note that it is different to the special meal options you see on the flight booking page. Meal pre-select must be done via this dedicated portal.
Here are the available options for an upcoming LHR-PVG flight:
- Baked North Atlantic Cod
- Toragashi Marinated Halloumi Poke Bowl (v)
- Chicken Achari Curry
- Lamb Saag Curry (halal)
- Stir-fried Chicken
- Spring Vegetable Soup (v)
- Braised Lamb Rump (exclusive)
- Lobster & Crab Tortellini (exclusive)
You only need to select the main course, and it’s limited to one per person (doh). As you can see there are two exclusive meals, and they do sound more tempting than the rest!
The meal order window opens 7 days before the flight and closes 24 hours prior. I procrastinated when I was flying to LA last year and missed out – lesson learned!
