Any way of telling how busy flight is?

Hello again. Is there any way of finding out how busy our flight is. Still debating about upgrading to PE, would rather not keep phoning Virgin Customer Services to find out. We are flying out on 22nd June on VS075 and returning 6th July on VS074.

Well I just might be able to help.....The VS75 on 22nd June is pretty wide open. On Expertflyer, the PE cabin has only 12 seats occuiped - so lot's of space. Economy is busier than your return flight, but still some choice of seats.

The VS74 on 6th July is always wide open in PE - a few seats only occupied. Economy on this flight is also wide open at the moment, lot's of empty seats!

Hope that helps.

Looking at the expert flyer seat map,

econ looks pretty full vs 75, about 1/3 full pe.

On the vs74, not quite so full econ and again 1/3 full pe.

Do you think it would be cheaper to upgrade at the airport, if the flight is quiet?

Generally yes it's cheaper at the airport, however, you run the risk of there being no availability! If you are set on the upgrade do it ASAP to avoid disappointment.

Also the MCO route tends to be a busy one!

Dwallace - sent you a PM with the details of your flight rather than muddle up the threads here....
