Seats in the Bubble at 90 Days?

We are a group of 13 people flying Gatwick to Las Vegas in Economy (mixed, couples, NOT a stag go!). I am looking to reserve our seats on Monday, 90 days before departure...and customer services tell me that only a few seats are made available in the bubble for pre booking.(Apparently some are for Virgin Holiday customers)

Does anybody know how many seats might get released upstairs at this stage? Otherwise, should I look at booking towards the front? How do they decide how many seats are made available? They are under 4 booking numbers too, so Ive got my work cut out!

Any help for this noob is appreciated!! Thanks

When I reserved our seats the only Economy Bubble seats that were greyed out was the front row (extra leg room seats).

I've had three flights as a Virgin Holidays customer and have tried to get seats in the bubble (3 pax) each time. Never managed it. This last time I logged on at exactly 90 days to the minute and there was only 1 seat available in the bubble.

I think you might stand a better chance calling the call centre instead.

Only 8 seats left in bubble when I've checked for both legs of Las Vegas trip. Which all went rather quickly!
I'd say your chances are very slim

I would say your biggest issue is the fact you have numerous booking references. It isn't like OLCI when you can put all the numbers in and do them all at once, you will have to do each one individually so if others are quick off the mark they could snap the remaining seats up before you get chance to do all your separate bookings.

Could you have a few of you doing it at the same time?
