Back row of the bubble - anyone sat there?

[grant_w]

We really liked that row, nobody behind you to keep kicking/pulling on your seat, and it reclined fine.

Recline is not limited, but the armrests don't go all the way back up though, so you can't cuddle so easily.

The recline is limited it's around 90-95% of the recline of the other rows (if you ask virgin they will confirm - if you get someone who knows) but in all practical reality you won't notice the difference it's a couple of millimetres

Had row 80 all to myself last night! Only 144 passengers onboard

Great I thought I will lie across all 3 seats and get a decent sleep, no such luck, unfortunately the seat arms don’t fully go up! Did best I could but no sleep, cannot wait for bedtime tonight. Also some of the cabin crew did get together and chat, to be fair there probably wasn’t much for them to do.

Would highly recommend the bubble, we had a good flight out in row 80 and the plane was packed but we all said what a good flight it was.

Remember, even if you request these seats they are not guaranteed. We’ve been moved out of all sorts of seats so many times.

Can I ask why? Even if you have paid to sit there then surely you should be guaranteed to sit there unless they change the plane last minute with a different seat configuration.

I have paid to sit in Dibbers Row and been moved at check in at Orlando. Plane wasn’t full and they weren’t putting anyone in economy upstairs.

Did you get a refund then as you pay extra to go up there don't you?.

Are the seats much more narrow in these seats? I have 78A B and C booked in the bubble already but can see that 75H J K are still available for the way out. We have row 80 on the way back so happy with that

A bit worried as was looking to settle down during the night - so have I wasted my money?

Has anyone had any experience of sitting in these seats please?

Thanks in advance.

I was about to ask this very question but thought I would have a quick search incase it had been answered already! So Thank you all. Flying Virgin to Barbados a week on Sat. (was meant to be TC but P & O changed our flights to virgin its chartered hence the late notice.) Absolutely delighted with the new airline and I am secretly hoping if we are on a plane with a bubble perhaps its not as well known. The second we can book a seat we will! So I knew my favourite Orlando planning tool would have the answer! It did. Thank you all!

Not virgin but when we travelled to Florida on TUI we had 1st row seats in Premium club and the staff was the same behind the curtain. Kept us awake all night, and with a 6 hr drive home, I was fuming

It was the first time I ever got to sleep on a flight when I sat in these seats.
