I just realised that Virgin Atlantic's plane design isn't flawed, but that it's actually a good marketing decision. When you get on the plane, you walk through first class and premium economy before hitting regular economy and realising you have to put up with this for twelve hours. Having walked through the nicer sections it makes you think.. perhaps I'll spend a little extra next time and fly Premium (or a lot extra, and fly First). Next time I think I'm going to close my eyes until I get to my seat :-)

I have more panic attacks in coach ;-)
