Virgin announced new “the booth”

You know that scene in Vicar of Dibley where she’s singing “ IT SHOULD’A BEEN ME!” … well… that’s me. 😭

Looks like the A350 has been scheduled from 01/01/22 on the VS91 but not every day of the week.

Ah thanks- that’s ok then… it wouldn’t have been me after all 😊 Booked on the VS91 but would have missed it by 5 days.
Interesting though, thanks OP for highlighting the booth- I had no idea.

VS 91 on 1st January already has 6 seats occupied with 1 blocked so VS are moving passengers over. I would imagine that they will make a big fuss of that flight.

With regard to the Booth if all the passengers are travelling as groups of 2's and they all want to try it then they will be lucky to get an hour each probably less.

They said December but I guess they haven't confirmed the date yet as it's still not decided. All subject to change (assuming we even get to fly this year!)

I said it would be shoved where a toilet was, and looks like I was right. But at least being at the front of the cabin should make it fairly private.

I think you've got a bit confused. It's a booth, not a shagpad!

I'd prefer the extra toilet and I'm sure the crew would too. Such a silly idea. They've clearly taken a leaf out of the Disney PR playbook by trying to make you believe this an amazing new feature, when in fact it's an inferior product. Also with a higher percentage of kids travelling in UC on these flights, this area will no doubt be used by parents as a makeshift play/creche area to keep their kids occupied. Looks like A1 & D1 are the seats to avoid.
