Just to say - I called and booked my flights today and then right away was able to log and and choose our seats.
We got on of the elusive pairs at the back on the flight out.
And upstairs on the way home.
woohooooo!!!

I can't remember how many months out it is, but I think it's 10...
We forgot till about 6 months out, but still managed to get decent seats.
We booked with VH, but didn't get a VA reference. However, if you go to the "manage my flights" part of the web page, you can try to find your booking there using your lead passenger name, date, time of flight, flight number etc. That's what I did and it came up straight away. I then took a note of the VA reference for future web visits when I did API, meals etc.
Hope this helps.
I am so grateful for this thread!
I booked some flights for July with Virgin (direct) a month or so ago, and must have completely overlooked the fact that you can choose your seats online after booking, I just assumed it was like BA where you choose when you online checkin 24hours before.
I just went onto Virgin's website.. There were literally only a handful of unreserved seats left, luckily I managed to get two together!
So glad I read this, you guys saved me!
