Re Business class seat arrangements ex Cape Town

Further to my earlier query re Group booking seat allocation. I have now found what seats we have been allocated - but now have a further query.

We are on a VS604 flight ex Cape Town in Feb 2011.

The ExpertFlyer site shows the business class seats in a 1-2-1 arrangement but the VS site shows the usual 'herring bone' style. The seat numbers we have been advised matches the 1-2-1 arrangement.

Does anyone know what the actual arrangement on the 604 flights is?

Many thanks
Fairphil

The 1-2-1 seating plan is either the LHR 747 UC cabin B zone or an A346. It is still the UCS, but the two middle seats have the wall between them and face a different aisle each, have a look at the seat maps page on here for more info.

A346s have 1-1-1 seating. Only the C-Zone on a 747 has 1-2-1.

Of course the A346 are 1-1-1 ii) B)

Surely the B-Zone on the LHR 747's are 1-2-1 though?

Correct B zone is 1-2-1.

C zone on a 744 is the PE cabin.
