Dates are 25/9 - 9/10
It’s kind of the same for my dates on 22nd August-5th September. Premium and upper available for outward and only upper on way back. Very weird 🤔

Thought I’d throw in tuppence worth, due to fly gla to mco late September timber and booked in the bubble, tweeted virgin re seats and got message back as below

Hi there, Graeme. We’ll be making the updates in our systems in the coming weeks and will be contacting any customers whose bookings are changing with their new travel information soon. ^SMK

Not sure what this means as they are vague but could mean refund due to different plane without bubble or changing flights to Manchester, that would be bit of a bummer but with one way car hire for £1 with Driveme then I’d do it, did it before and it was fine, left at 2am for flight at around 8am. Suppose I’ll just need to wait and see.

If flight is going and we can get into Florida without having to quarantine then we will def be going, do have an annual pass for universal and if we can use then great but will be going just for the sunshine and to chill, I know that’s pretty much what you can do if furloughed at the mo but not quite the same.

I wonder if it is because they are changing aircraft from the 747 on those dates. Other aircraft in the fleet have more upper class seats and less of the other classes 🤔

As I said earlier in the thread I tweeted Virgin and asked them what was happening with this route and they said it would be continued when flights resumed. Then this morning I woke to find someone replying via my tweet to ask why they had been told this was not the case and no decision had been made. They came back again to say that no decision had been made and I had been misinformed. So I don’t think they know what is happening at all.

Sorry if I misinformed anyone. It wasn’t my intention, I was just repeating what they told me.

Checked our Glasgow flight prices yesterday 10 Oct-22 Oct and well down on previous checks.

Economy Delight was cheaper than Economy classic and upgrade to Premier for 5 was just over a £1000
