hi can anyone give me some input please on seat reviews for Virgin flights. We are due to fly Gatwick-Orlando, may 12th 2005 in Premium Economy, and return Orlando-Gatwick, may 25th 2005, Upper Class. Any suggestions greatly welcomed

Have a look at http://www.v-flyer.com/chance.aspto see what type of plane you're likely to be on and then at http://www.v-flyer.com/seats.aspfor seat ratings.

Enjoy your trip.

As you're flying so far in the future, its likely that the Gatwick planes will be kitted out in the UCS by then, so bear that in mind when looking at the LGW seatmaps on this site.

following on from what onionz has said, you will find may posts that speak of getting PE seats on the upper deck.

The current PE configuration on the LGW flights (which are all upstairs) give you the best possible option.

My preference has always been to get the back seats (currently 79 A&C or 80 H&K) as this gets you off the plane first. this can be vital when hitting US Immigration

Pix has done an assumption as to what the UCS on the LGW will look like on another thread

That's not an assumption, that's the current plan ;)

Sorry Pix [:I]

How about putting it on the seat plan site? :D

I think outward PE and return UC is a great idea as the flight back will be a red eye so you'll want to sleep.

take the sleep suit with you when you leave as they make excellent PJ's!

Will do, but need to create the click-map for it too, and that's a pile of work - just waiting 'til a bit closer to launch just in case there's tweaks.
