Looking forward to giving it a go on our next trip

I paid £80 to sit in the front tow if the bubble, worth every penny. Quiet but not stuffy. Fantastic service, two crew members sitting there in front of us and more than happy to serve up extra wine and beer the whole journey! Lovely big shelf/ locker by the window. And of course a massive amount of leg room before the cabin curtains to the cabin in front which was premium. It was a lot of money but if it had been available both ways I’d have paid the £80 for the return too.

Loved the bubble last year.
Normally we try and get 19 & 18 a and c downstairs.
I was gutted someone had already booked them, so I could see the last 2 rows of PE in the bubble were free both ways ... so I booked them.
Best decision we ever made.
I have booked them again for our next trip.
Very relaxed and super calm at night.
Staff very accommodating regardless of ec or pe.

We are flying out in back row of the bubble, we love these seats and will happily pay for them. Much better value than this Delight offering in my opinion.
I just love that little shelf!

Understand that it is all about personal preference but we much prefer upstairs!

I took some photos of the bubble and downstairs on our last trip --

Definitely the bubble for us!

I struggle with enclosed spaces and was worried, especially as they’ve got an extra seat in EC so was thinking it would feel cramped but I was really surprised. We really liked it last time. I’d only booked one way as I was iffy if I’d like it or not but was really gutted I’d not booked it back. This next trip we have booked it both ways for all four of us, we just treat it as a holiday add on. My son is autistic and I feel that the quieter space keeps him feel calmer and less overwhelmed.

It's the only way I can get any sleep on a flight, so I've booked seats up there for the trip home. We did extra leg room in the bubble last time, which was nice but so expensive this time around that I couldn't justify it. This trip it is just normal seats.

Didn't pay for extra leg room downstairs on the way out either. It is just stupidly expensive now.

Bubble all the way ( unless we can get UC.) you also get to exit either first or straight after UC/PE downstairs depending on cabin crew. Should note that over head lockers are smaller due to curve of the plane so the standard size bag may have to go in a locker at the back of the bubble. You can still access it though in flight.. worth the money in my opinion.

We love it in "the bubble", sat there on our last 3 trips, it is lovely and quiet and service is better I think.
