Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. has ditched its flying bar in favor of family-friendly sofas on a new fleet of Airbus SE A350 jetliners.
The so-called Loft lounge will feature a 32-inch television screen and bluetooth headphones, with passengers able to order food and drink as they relax on the red leather seats. The long-time Virgin feature of a saloon area is gone, though, marking a departure for the airline credited with reviving the communal in-flight tipple.
