Hello all!

I just finally used my miles for something good and booked a 'free' flight from London to vancouver and back from SFO to London (october to november).
I've flown quite a few times with Virgin and always in the UC but i've never seen this config i've got now from LHR to Vancouver. it's a Airbus A330-300 (3 cabin). I've googled a bit and is this one of the new planes/new configs? Because when i was searching it says it only does Eastcoast flights and last time i checked vancouver is as close to the westcoast as it can get ;). Anyway, is it a 'almost sure' thing i get that plane if it says so in seat map right now? If so: it looks like my favorite seats aren't there anymore (the ones where you look against a wall instead of other passengers (i love you all, but i like it when i can just stare at nothing while flying :D ). I looked at seat ratings on this site but not much ratings appear for this config so i wonder: what are the best (privacy) seats when you fly alone?

*note: unfortunately i only noticed after booking that for miles-tickets you don't get tier points which means because i booked this one with miles instead of money i will lose gold :? :(! Note to self: READ next time :P

This config on the A330-300 will have the new upper class 'dream' suite. People seem to suggest that sitting as far forward as possible (away from the bar) is the way to go on this type.

The UC cabin on the A330 has a different config to other VS planes (no wall for example as the cabin is all 1-2-1 config) and as there havn't been that many Trs for A330 flights there will be few (if any) seat ratings.
