I have just returned from Gatwick and picked up my daughter after she travelled on the VS16.

She counted just under 100 people in economy on a 747. Her and her husband had 3 seats each and both children had 4 in the middle. Why buy premium when you can get a deal like this!

She was lucky, we travelled on the VS 16 on Friday which took off 3 houurs late (with no explanation as to why), we did have a few spare seats so spaced out a little but still around 350 (going out there were over 400 passenger plus crew). Some people opted to pay $86 each to travel on the early one once they got to checkin but it wasnt even an option when we asked on arrival (about 3pm)to find the delay. I wouldnt have paid the extra on principal though, why should they make extra money from us when the only reason we were asking to change was because they told us we were 3 hours late and we couldnt contact the person who was arriving to meet us till later so didnt know what other pick up he had.
