Hi Obi, we have requested special seats for my autistic son, who also has additional needs, what are these seats like? Space, quietness etc?
We have told VA that we need extra space due to him needing a feeding pump, and if he starts getting stressed, was wondering about the extra space we may get and if it is worth upgrading as that's an extra expense I can do without at the moment.
VA also told me the request I have made can't be guaranteed, which was a different story to when I paid!!
I suppose the person you talked to was covering their bottom.
I would assume that you will be in row 21, which is in the small cabin between Upper Class and Economy, made up of two rows of PE seats and either three rows of economy or four rows, depending on the aircraft.
Yes, its quiet, you are in a small cabin with less noise than the main cabin.
Row 21 which is the normal row for families with disabilities, has a bulkhead so is the normal bulkhead seating As I recall.
I would also talk to the crew covering this cabin as they might be happy for you if there is any room, to sit in the PE row at times when feeding is required.
have you looked on the VA website under "my booking" to see what seat numbers have been allocated to you?
I would also suggest that you get a copy of the seat plan (V-Flyer has them I think) and take that with you to ensure you get the seats you need if you are checking in at the airport.
