Hi all, just to let you know in case you don't already, the restrictions on reserving seats after Nov 1st has now been lifted. I have just been on and pre booked our Nov 5th flights and the return.

Yes i got a text from virgin yesterday saying we could book seats

 

[diddldonna]

Do you know if we can book for feb yet?

 

[kitcat1]

Not really sure, give it a go! Should be able to as the restrictions were there because they were making changes to the planes I think.

You can book up to 90 days out at the moment unless you are flying in PE from LGW/MAN/GLA.

See here: http://virginatlantic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/74

I would assume from this that the last 747 G-VTOP which is not being refitted is leaving the fleet from early January and after that all flights will be on refurbished planes.

I have my fingers cross for VTOP for our December flights for one last trip in the old bubble

Will the reserving of seats ever become available for PE?

We fly at the end of next march and would like to reserve seats if possible

Yes, 90 days out for journeys after January.

Great, thanks
Is this because the plane refurbishments will be all done?

Just came home today in the bubble of Hot Lips
PE was super and I managed about 4 hours sleep which is rare for me.
Loads of room in PE but overhead storage is very small. There is a wardrobe at the rear of the economy section to store larger cabin baggage

Probably a daft question Nigel but was it one of the refurb 747??

Do you no what the PE section downstairs was like?? We've booked PE but with requesting a skycot I'm assuming they'd seat us downstairs

Can't wait for your TR

just went to check my seats were still there as I was able to pre-book them ages ago before they put the recent stop on it. Well happy as they have changed the plane to a new refurbed one The way back is still showing the old heap of a plane but who knows that could still change. I hadn't been able to change seats for the last few days and thats the reason why, they were changing aircraft...RESULT

I'm pretty sure I read that PE seats could be reserved from 8th October, so you might want to check the 90 days out thing for your March res.

I would say yes as they are due to be completed by the end of the year.

Prior to the refits there was one cot position upstairs and more downstairs. I don't see why that would change
