Overhead storage PE in the bubble

Hi,
Anyone know of the size of the overhead storage on the Virgin Manchester to Orlando flight. Referring to PE upstairs in the bubble.
Thanks

It depends on which seat you are in as the further forward you go the smaller they are and the less depth they have due to the narrowing of the plane fuselage.
We had seats 20 this Saturday and they are the front ones. Lockers are useless apart from a small rucksack or a handbag.

Thanks Mr T.
We will be in seats 22 and 23 H&K.
Is there enough room in those particular storage drop downs for a flight sized wheelie i.e 55 x 36 x 25 cm or similar?
Or is the likelihood it would need to be placed in the unit at the rear.

Mmm. Difficult one. I suspect not but I could be wrong. About 3 years ago we had the back seats in PE up there. Is that 25 maybe? Or 24?
My Wifes case fitted in but mine was right on the size limit and wouldn't

Cheers Tom,
I think the last seat is 24.
Maybe leave the flight cases and revert to the flight bags then.

Your wheelie case will not fit in the overhead lockers in the bubble. The overhead lockers are very shallow its a struggle to fit a rucksack with a coat inside. You will be asked to store the case at the back of the bubble.

Thanks.
Don't fancy leaving the wheelie at the back of the cabin looks like it will be the flight bag.
