My BEST flight ever and what a bargain it was! London to Seattle in Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic

I had some old air miles, frequent flyer points, whatever they're called these days and they were about to expire. So I was faced with a 'use them or lose them' dilemma. Of course, I used them, and booked the most distant destination I could find for the dates I needed - Seattle, Washington, USA. I had just enough to be able to book Premium Economy, and that was fine by me. But then, a couple of days before the flight, I got distracted by the 'bid for an upgrade' button on the website. A bit more research showed I could bid any amount from £400+ for the chance to upgrade to Upper Class. The website suggested the average accepted bid to be around £800, but of course, this was too much for me, so I took a chance on bidding the minimum without any real optimism that is would be accepted. How wrong was I...The funny thing is, I actually bid the same for the return flight, but when the outbound was accepted and £400 swiftly deducted from my bank account, it was a mad scramble to delete the return, as I had a sneaky suspicion I'd get that too, and believe me, another £400 was not something I could afford however tempting it may have been to have a proper bed on the overnight leg!

So join me on a very rare treat, 10 hours in Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic. I know it's the older Upper Class product, but what will I make of it? Stay tuned to find out and enjoy the video...
