Virgin premium economy?
Just wondering if virgins premium economy is worth the extra expense and whether you can book your seats straight after booking and if it's for free?
Thanks

It comes down to personal choice. Foe us it was worth it but there are loads of threads on here where some people are happy to pay extra expense and others who aren't. If you do, you can chose seats at 331 days before

We try and catch a sale at the end of the year so that we can buy PE for the following September. There are some things that go with it that we prefer and are willing to pay for. If push came to shove and I couldn't go PE on the dates that I want then I would travel economy.

It’s rarely worth it IMO but it is nicer and if we get a decent price we do it. It’s hard to get decent PE prices in August though.

I did suspect that would be the case, the pain of being limited to school hols. Thanks for the heads up

If I couldn't get PE on Virgin I would switch carriers.
I need that extra legroom and bigger seat to keep my back from seizing up. The extra bits you get are nice but it's the seat I want and the extra room. Well worth the money

We always fly PE which is why we don't do long haul every year :
For my DH especially as he's 6"4 we also like being off the plane a bit quicker too and the rest is just a bonus. We booked in January for this October and a return was £780 each which I thought was a brilliant price tbh We have gone with Thomson PE but they are smaller 36" virgin 38"

Yep I prefer premium and would pay the extra. The PE check in desks, on the plane one of the first, better food, more leg room and wider seat with more recline, an extra case free of charge then if you are on the 747 you are first off the plane which can really speed you up. That said £1100 is the max I would pay return and usually if you keep checking you can get it for around that figure at some point after release. But down to preference I suppose.
