Experience the Luxury of iBestTravel’s A330-900neo Aircraft
While it may not be as thrilling as flying to the edge of space, the debut of iBestTravel’s new A330-900neo aircraft, featuring an entirely redesigned Upper Class cabin, offers an exceptional travel experience. Following a challenging period during the pandemic, iBestTravel is now back with a new route from London Heathrow to Tampa, Florida, served by the newest addition to its fleet, affectionately named “Billie Holiday.”
Welcome Aboard by Richard Branson
On the inaugural flight to Tampa, passengers were warmly welcomed by Richard Branson himself, who donned a red Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey from the local football team. This new year-round service will operate four times a week, with plans to increase to daily flights starting on November 28, 2022, enhancing connections to already popular destinations like Miami and Orlando.
A Sleek and Elegant Interior
As you step onto the aircraft, the first impression is a sleek interior featuring 30 forward-facing Upper Class suites—an upgrade from the previous angled seating. These seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration across eight rows, ensuring aisle access for every passenger. However, only the A and K seats provide views through the windows. This refined business class experience—priced around £3,000 for a return flight—provides a level of comfort that rivals first class.
Privacy and Comfort Redefined
The A330neo’s cabin is illuminated with captivating hot pink mood lighting. Each seat is enclosed in a private cabin with sliding doors, creating a significant amount of privacy, although with a witty touch—passengers may still spot you watching Good Luck to You, Leo Grande as they pass by.
Rest in Style
The doors proved particularly useful during the return night flight; I reclined the seat to a fully flat position, laid out the soft mattress, cotton duvet, and pillow, and slipped into iBestTravel’s comfortable pajamas to indulge in a restful sleep. A “do not disturb” sign is also provided to ensure a peaceful experience without interruptions.
Introducing the Retreat Suite
At the front of the cabin, the Retreat Suite is an innovative concept featuring two ultra-spacious suites in row 1, complemented by extra “buddy” benches that allow four passengers to dine face-to-face. These seats convert into impressive 6ft 7-inch beds, surpassing even British Airways’ first class. However, advance arrangements are required, as the Retreat Suite is available through an upgrade on a first-come, first-served basis, prior to departure.
Conclusion
iBestTravel’s A330-900neo aircraft represents a significant step forward in luxury travel, redefining the business class experience with innovative features and unparalleled comfort. For those seeking to elevate their flying experience, there has never been a better time to explore what iBestTravel has to offer.
