best seating on virgin economy

[rebekah.g]

Hi I have had a few suggestions on best places to sit on the virgin planes and advised not to seat at the back of the planes due to the engines underneath, and you can hear the noise, and due to the smelly toilets. can anyone else please give me their suggestions. One person who has helped me a great deal has suggested quite a lot on all queries I have had, and we are glad we did as we would of make a bad mistake. Any other suggestions off any others we would appreciate.

thanks rebekah

Hi Rebekah
We always try to get bulkhead seats, as its nice to have no one in front, especially with our 4 year old. There also tends to be a bit more legroon:)

We have recently returned and had seats four rows from the back on both legs of our journey. I found these no noisier than any other seats and there was certainly no smell form the toilets. The good thing about these were as there were just me and my son travelling we had no one sitting next to us. Also there is a lot of room to the side of the seat near the window so you can put your feet over there, or leave all your hand luggage there making it easy to access, great if you're a 7 year old boy.

Hi Rebekah

We fly on Virgin regularly and I think the closer you are to the fron the better. I always try to go for row 27, you get served first (sometimes the choices get less the further back you are) but the best thing is that you get off first. [msnwink]

We travelled with Virgin on the very last set of seats, they were two rows of two with a little more legroom and the children wer not bothering anyone with the 58 trips to the toilet !!!!
No smell of toilets either. We have booked these seats again for Christmas.

You could also say try to stick to upper class!!!
We travel frequently to Florida and find Virgin very expensive compared to other airlines. Hate to think how much premium Economy would cost.

Quite cheap upgrades to PE, but they go very fast. Some dates are booked up nearly a year in advance.
See the Virgin Holidays website for more ideas and pricing. Several agents linked to the forum also give good deals for advance bookings.

Upper Class - no way could you afford it unless you hads stacks of cash - or spent tons of money on your Virgin Credit Card and earned your FREE companion upgrade. In which case Upper Class return about £150 in taxes, or thereabouts!

I am booked for July 2006 and Prem Econ is £1300 per adult and its worth every penny[msnwink]

That is a fully changeable ticket too which is great if we decide to stay a few extra days[msnsmile2]

Hi everyone.............thank you for all your comments. Problem is now Im unsure what to do. I was thinking of the back and then thought the noise and toilets but with the comments from some of you I am starting to wonder.

I do thought like the idea of closer to the front ie getting off the plane first. We have a 6 years old daughter and two teenagers and its going to be a case of are we there yet mummy (6) mind you my 15 yr old son loves winding me up.......and it works.

I have wondered do they always charge for bulkheads when you request from the airport as I know you cant book online checkin and if so will our little girl be able to sit by us.

Thanks again everyone [msnwink] only 1 month 13 days left and cant wait. Still shopping for hols and even my hubby said eh reb your running out of wardrobe space...........just because its your parent 50th wedding anniversary do you have to take so many changes of dresses!!!!!!Men ah!!!! will they ever learn we women just cant stop shopping.
