Chilling at Carribean Beach

I got the email yesterday and after seeing a few posts on Facebook about seat changes I thought I best check ours. So, they have moved us out of the preferred seats into some at the back of the plane. I have just changed that to a few remaining seats together a few rows further forward. Are you saying I should ring and say I'd booked those seats before the flight time change?

Same happened to me. A phone call to VA and I have now moved into ‘preferred’ seats at no charge.

I've just sorted ours on Twitter, very quick response. They shouldn't have moved anyone out of preferred seats if you'd already booked them prior to March this year. Ours got moved because the flight home is now a different plane and our seats no longer exist in economy, so we got chucked to open seats at the back.
Definitely contact them as you should be able to get preferred seats back as per your previous booking x |

They’d moved us to the back as well and I messaged them on Facebook and they’ve moved us to the ‘preferred’ ones for free. They were really quick with replying and moving us as well. Bit annoying because I wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t see threads on here but it’s sorted now anyway!

The same happened to us, change of aircraft and stuck literally at back of plane! One simple phone call to Va customer services and it was instantly changed free of charge! Just 10 minutes on hold, which is fine, lovely girl sorted it within seconds!

Years ago when we 1st started flying with VA they were the only airline that never charged for seat allocation, then quite a few years later they brought in a new policy were they then did impose a charge but only if you flew in Economy ... Premium and Upper was still free.
This again was changed after just couple of years so free for all. I believe just before Covid they started charging Economy again if you wanted the old 747 bubble .. All they are really doing now is what other airlines have always done, and they are not charging for all their seats just some, it’s just economics .BAs seat charge is and always has been very steep ! I believe anyone who was booked before the changes came allocate free if they call etc to ask. I know it sounds like I am defending VA and perhaps I am but they are just doing what everyone else has always done, and trying to stay in business ... Personally I wouldn’t mind paying for seat allocation atall if it means helping them stay afloat as we need VA because if too may long haul go under the ones left will price hike so much , travel really will be just for the rich again ! |
