Virgin flights

[major]

We have booked our holiday in Feb through Holidaybookers, our flights are with Virgin from Manchester.Can we still pre-book our seats and if so, do we contact Virgin or Holidaybookers? There are 6 of us going and if we can book in advance which seats would be the best.
Thanks

Hi major,

I think you can book your seats 180 days out. You can contact your travel agent or Virgin.

You should be able to prebook your seats now as Virgin have changed their booking window to 11 months

And for the best seats have a look here You will be on the 747-200.

I think you can only book from row 29 back. We have always requested the rows of 2 at the back, and always got them. Several times we've asked for and got exit row seats, probably because we check in very early.
You request seats from Virgin Atlantic direct.

A tip I recently picked up from the DIBB, call virgin and request visa waiver forms ahead of flying and a couple of spares as immigration is so tight now any mistakes mean you go to the back of the line and fill out another form. Having them in advance means you can take your time and get it right!!. I emailed yesterday and they are on their way to me today!!

LOL, Natalie. You must be on the elusive Virgin plane "Beam me up, Scottie". I find 8 hours is plenty of time for filling out my Customs and Immigration forms! Only joking - I know what you mean. I usually put them away because I can't be bothered and then end up rushing them before the descent. Mind you, I've filled in so many now, I could do them in my sleep.
