Virgin Upper Class Seat Selection

[jed]

Hi All

Looking to upgrade to Upper Class on our out bound flight to Orlando. There is just the two of us so what would be the best seats to select ie seat next to each other or seats opposite?

6A & 6K

Echoing the poster above, 6A and 6K are the best for couples.

Nearest available at the front are 7 A and K are they quite close together. We have never done Upper before. Looking at the seating looks like your quite isolated.

Ditto...6A and K - they are opposite each other and so you can see each other to chat (albeit like Les Dawson over the fence, as there is a gap obviously but its the narrowest part of the aisle in the nose of the plane.
My son and I choose those seats. There are no overhead storage compartments but you can use the nearest ones along, they are never full to overflowing in our experience, plus there is a space along side those front seats to stash your handbag or soft hand luggage.

Not much difference between 6 and 7...I'd choose those then

Yes its very much an individual experience flying upper. You can join your partner etc for the meal if you wish as they will set the table up for two and there is a little seating perch ...depends on your size. But we are usually into our films and things so eat separately. They are angled for privacy I guess for the sleeping aspect. You can sit at the bar together too if you like.

On a 747
When we go as a family (4) I would get 6-7 a and k
But just me and my hubby 8-9 a. A bit more space.

We always go for 8 A and 9 A. Plus we eat together.

We go for 6A & K. If these aren't available we go for rows 8/9 on the same side. Row 7 are too far apart for us so we go for adjoining seats on one side. But not too far back when the bar starts to interfere.

We have 6AK both directions this July.
