Hi

I need seat advice ASAP. I am on the VS15 tomorrow in PE with my wife and 2 year old. When I booked the flights the only seats I could get were 19F&G for myself and jnr and 16K for my wife.

I have just checked this morning and upstairs is wide open.

Q. Should I stick to the original seats or should I go upstairs?

Ideally, we would like all 3 in the centre row downstairs.

I am thinking mainly of arriving in Orlando. Am I right in thinking that downstairs PE is allowed to exit the plane before upstairs?

Thanks in advance.

From what others have said downstairs will exit the aircraft first so I would go for a row of 3 downstairs

Personally I would stick with what you have got, you are gaining anything by moving upstairs as you still have an aisle between your party.

Regarding disembarking, the upstairs is generally let off at the same time, but obviously with the flow of people, it takes a bit longer as the people on the stairs are having to wait for a gap and filter in, plus you have the 30 odd economy passengers in front of you, rather than just a couple of rows on PE pax behind you.

The OP can't get a row of 3 downstairs, just a 2 and 1.

Bear in mind though that 19FG are directly opposite the WC, which doesn't sound like a great place to be... on that basis alone I'd probably try and move, even if it didn't resolve the issue of getting 3 seats together...
