the flights come out 11 months in advance from your return flight so you wont be able to go on till then

On the way out I would sit as far forward as possible so you can get off the plane and thru immigration quicker.

there is a site called seatguru that gives tips on all aircraft with best seats etc

It's 336 days from your return flight that you can go on and request seats. Bear in mind that Virgin can move you at any time for no apparent reason.

Another reason to sit as far forward is that they can run out of menu choices. Last year on both flights they ran out just before they got to us and we had no choice. The food is not that great to start with but to have no choice meant that you get the thing that most other people don't want. and believe me there was a reason they did not want it.

The best reason for sitting as far forward as possible is that the farther rear you go, the more turbulance you feel as the back end is designed to flex (hence why all first class cabins are at the front of an aircraft)

Obi- i totally agree with that, I am a very nervous flyer and sitting just behind PE s so much better than farther back! even the drop just after take off is not so bad
