Virgin Aibus

di what is the seat configurations on the airbuses for economy, do you know?

There is a seat layout diagram here Mick - hope it helps

It's not one of the double deckers, they can only use Heathrow at the moment as far as I know.

no i know its not a 380 they arent in service until around 2013 are they

still less seats means harder to get them unless they put another flight in there somewhere

just noticed that seat plan is for a 340 not a 330

really, so its going to be worse than on a jumbo people clambering for seats, not good.

why are they getting rid of the jumbos do you know?

why will it be worse

it just means less people are flying on them dates

I know, but this will give you an idea, there isn't an actual plane layout for Virgin at the moment.

There will be 109 economy seats from row 45 - 65 and it will have 9" seat back screens, there are 30 PE seats - row 20 - 25 and these will have 10.6" screens and UC will be at the front.

There will be less seats, which will mean less flying club seats and it will probably cost more money

I'll be surprised if they do use them for Orlando - the normal pattern is for all new aircraft to fly on the business routes mostly from Heathrow

As Diane said though, it does sound like it will be to Orlando at the moment, so who knows what the powers at be at Virgin will do

It does mean there will be less people, but it will probably also mean that because they have less seats, Virgin will charge more for them

im already booked and i didnt really notice a big difference to be honest

[ukwdwnut]

and more people fighting to get booked on less seats

[tb2830]

dont think they were filling the seats on those dates hence the fact there using a smaller plane

was meant to be flying at 10.25 now going at 11.00

The first of the planes isn't being delivered until Spring 2011, it sounds like there will be about 270 seats available.

On the 340-300 now there are about 250 seats and on the 747 there are about 390.
