Mobile Virgin Flight and car choose Seats after deposit

Hello all

Anyone know if I can pick seats with VA after putting down a deposit on flight and car booking (through VA rather than VH) or do I need to have paid in full?

Thanks a lot

If you pay deposit then you get your flight reference as soon as it's available (331 days before flight).

However there is no guarantee that your travel agent won't cancel your tickets and rebook you, if this happens your seat booking is null and void.

Loads of people have fallen foul of this before.

If you want to book your seat and know it won't get cancelled you need to pay for the flight in full

You can book seats at 331 days out with Virgin. Just keep checking it though. Some travel agents cancel flights then rebook at a lower rate so you lose your seats. This happened to us when we had paid for bubble seats. Florida Masters had cancelled our flight and then rebooked. Because I was checking regularly I got onto them and got my seats back. Btw they don't pass on what they save to their customers. Bad practise imo. Just one of the problems we had with Florida Masters. Wouldn't touch them again with a 10ft barge pole!
