Ok, Ok, I know things can change,
But interesting one for you all.
I had gone onto the VA web site to check my flights from LGW-MCO-LGW 8th Jan 05 (It makes the holiday seem closer
)
Logged in, went to Check your booking and the two bookings (my son is on an upgrade from econ to UC, whilst my wife and I are on UC tickets)were not there (No underlined dates etc..) not a problem I thought, as since the new site has been up, I have had to put my referenec in to get them to show.
Put My booking ref in, web site could not find it. tried a couple of times, no luck.
Tried then my sons booking ref and his came up.
Looked at the seating plan, very strange. same seating plan as before LGW 747-400 but this time all centre seats grayed out, but 6A and 6K avaialable as with only 11 and 11K in red.
So I contacted FC.
Another nice lady (she is going to the party on 4th and camping by the way)
Said, "oh yes, your bookings are here I see your wife is having her 40th birthday whilst away" then she said "There has been a schedule change, but it seems to be at the same time anyway"
Then the explination.."your booking would not come up as the seats do not exist anymore, the aircraft is reconfigured to Upper Class Suites" YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
So she re booked us into same seats for my son (7A both ways) and 7K both ways for my wife and 8A both ways for me.
she also checked row 22 econ which shows on the seating plan, but siad that the econ rows now start at 27.
After speaking to her I went back in and the two bookings were again there for me to view.
So, if your booking will not show, this could be the reason.
Really chuffed!
