The Bubble

[salmon70]

Hello

I've booked next year's holiday for my 50th Birthday and for the first time, we are flying with Virgin. We're flying Economy Classic and would like to sit in the bubble (if possible). Do you have to pay extra if you want those seats? and, what are our chances of managing to book seats in the bubble?

Thank you 🛫

Yes, bubble seats are an extra £35pp each way to book. Or the exit row seats up there are £59pp each way to book. You can book seats online from around 330 days.

They are showing as £35 per person for us at the moment

Are they really worth it? I can see availability on our flight at the moment.

We are celebrating my 50th this year and have booked the bubble just a little bit more luxury without booking PE - we have booked dibbers row

I was in the bubble for the first time, there and back, in April. It was worth it to me and DD. Liked the extra storage at the side and it was much quieter without lots of people walking up and down. No long queues for the loo and food and drink service was really quick 😊 Plus, we were off the plane before economy downstairs so got to front row of immigration line.

this was exactly my experience in the bubble last October too, DD and I both agree its the most pleasant experience we've had in any economy seats, and £35 per person each way is definitely worth it in my opinion.

Hi, I'm hoping to book with Virgin for May next year. Which seats are in the bubble?

when you can access the seat map, you'll easily see the bubble seats - they are marked "upper deck".

Thank you all for your replies. It's just myself and my DD and with the seat configuration being 3:4:3 (downstairs), we'd prefer to sit on one of the front rows (preferably the bubble IF we can get it). I can see there are a couple of rows of 2 right at the back of the plane but don't really fancy being one of the last off.

I flew in the bubble last year when I went to Orlando for work. In my opinion it’s well worth the money.
Great service from the cabin crew and one of the first off the plane.
