My parents are both wheelchair users and I was trying to sell them on the advantages of the VS UC service - not that I have experienced it myself but I know my mum in particular would like to sleep on a long haul flight.

However, I read a comment on Skytrax that said it is difficult for people with mobility problems to use the UC seats.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Best wishes

Hi - I read a similar comment on airliners.net - the problem I guess is the ottoman/guest seat which is in front of the UC seat itself and can't be moved. I'd imagine it would be very difficult to say the least getting out of the wheelchair and into the seat safely and easily.

From memory I would think that the front of a 747 would be a lot better than the 'stalls' installation in the airbus - both would be better than Econ
