Virgin Twilight Check In - We were able to get the extra leg room seats

[Portugal1000]

Just an update on a question I asked before leaving for Orlando on 11th August.
We went to Gatwick the day before as we only live 10 minutes away. Got there just before twilight check in opened and we were able to get the very front economy seats, row 21 with the extra leg room. We had to pay £30 each but we thought it was well worth it. I think there were only 4 rows of economy seats and we did definitely notice the extra room. We also got off the plane first so no queue for immigration. Will definitely try that again.

hi, where did you ask to get these seats, was it at the checkin or the virgin desk, thanks for any advice, susie2

we got those seats flying out and didnt have to pay as we were under special assistance

Very nice leg room but seats are thinner as the tv and tray are in the arm rest
