To book the bubble or not!

[loopylola]

We are booked to travel the begining of October, I've been planning this trip for a while and when I found out about the bubble I decided as a special treat I would book seats in the bubble on our outward flight. Just read all the hype and thought as it's not alot more expense I'd go for it. However now our flights are booked the bubble only has 3 spare seats and they are not together so I've booked us in regular economy.
I keep checking incase anyone cancels but I guess it's not likely. There are bubble seats available on the return flight but thinking it wouldn't be the same on the way home. What are people's thoughts? There's only 3 of us so not alot extra expense although I suppose it would be an extra £100 to spend in parks if you put it that way!

I would do it, for the way home. Its quieter up there so you may have a better chance of a decent sleep on the overnight flight, and if you don't sleep, you get the experience of the bubble just like on a day flight .

I flew with Virgin for the first time last year and paid extra to sit in the bubble and so glad we did. It was so quiet and we had loads of space and excellent service from the cabin crew. We've just booked our flights for this year and have paid again for seats in the bubble.

I probably wouldn't go for the 3 split seats on the way out if I were you but if there are 3 seats available together for your return flight I would go for it.

Definitely! It might be your last chance as they are taking those planes out of service.

I would we booked it both ways but changed the plane on way and doesn't have the bubble on this one 😢 Going home hoping with it being quieter my grandaughters will sleep better 😀

I've booked the bubble for our upcoming trip having previously flown in it on our last trip. In fact I opted for the later flight out of Manchester as the earlier one didn't have any bubble seats left.

I wouldn't choose the three split seats on the way out but would be jumping on the bubble seats coming home, the bubble is so quiet and I feel you get a more personalised service from the crew as its such a small cabin. Also as others have said the planes with the bubble are being retired soon so this might be your only chance to experience it.

We did the bubble both ways on our first trip with virgin. Loved it. Doing it again this year. We are a party of 3 and i could only get a 2 and a 1 on the way out so we took it. All sitting together on way back.

The bubble is a game changer, book it while it lasts!
