Florida is a year round destination and can and is busy at any time.

You have been given good advice from Dibb members and in particular munmun and Mpet even advising you of seat numbers that are free so I really hope that has helped you sort out your seating dilema.

Hope you get sorted.

I really can't understand the big issue here. In fact, whether there are other seats available or not, row 38 exit row seats are ideal as you don't need an aisle seat to get out easily, can sit next to your partner and are right next to the WC's.

My thought is that the OP is ideally wanting to sit upstairs? Unfortunately for him, a lot of other people do too and it's their right.

As for Virgin giving out information on another passenger, like others I am astonished by this but it doesn't matter as the OP's seating issues can be easily remedied albeit by sitting downstairs.

Maybe hope that they don't change the menu after all.

Loads of adults without kids go to Disney - me being one of them. And a lot of us deliberately go outside school holidays as it's cheaper and quieter.

On your original post, "let's just hope they dont mind getting up every 5 mins if I have anything to eat" tells me the simple solution. Don't eat and have some consideration for other passengers rather than inconveniencing others.

Expecting someone else to fast for hours so you don't have to get up a couple of extra times is also selfish. All about which side of it you look at.

If I was in seat 3 and the options are stand my ground, remain stubbornly in my seat, or getting up to help out the bloke with the medical condition. I know I would happily help out. (I don't want to risk being in any firing line! )

The win is for the wife to sort herself out so she can endure a middle seat... but then I'm well aware that this may be easier said than done, and she who must be obeyed is a saying for a reason.

I don't see why he should in all honesty especially when you knew your condition. I don't have a condition but use the loo a lot and always opt for the aisle as Im probably up a few times during the flight and dont want to disturb others too much.

Wouldn’t it be better to move to the two seats in a row of 4? Ok you don’t get a window seat but you’re then only disturbing each other.

I dehydrated myself so that’s I’m not a nuisance in most places. Any kind of transport or even in the parks I try to be careful so that I’m not causing issues for myself and everyone else. I do it because I don’t want to go to the toilet multiple times an hour on a plane where I also might have to queue so I don’t know why this OP wouldn’t want to do the same

Maybe because it's not good for your health to dehydrate.
