Bubbles & Champagne

Long time no post :|

I'm T-13 for LGW-LAS and at T-90 I grabbed (requested) two Econ seats in "The Bubble".
Was extremely happy with this, until the other day, whilst working at Gatwick Airport I got chatting to two check-in girls.
I said I was looking forward to the flight as I had seats in the Bubble.
It was greeted with grimaces from the girls and I asked why. They both said, there was a very big chance of getting moved out of those seats if the flight is not full. This was due to weight loading/distribution. I felt kind of despondent, as was looking forward to my first ever flight on an upper deck. Looked like it was commonplace on less than full flights :(
Now looking at the flight, Econ looks nowhere near full, but PE looks fairly rammed.

So do you think that, as there would be nowhere to move the PE folks to, they would also leave the Econ alone too up there??

Secondly, is there anywhere to prebook and pay for Champagne online/phone before we fly out??

Many thanks in advance y)

I think you can pre order champagne by ringing 0844 579 0055.

Half bottles are also available to buy on board subject to availability.

Not sure about the seating issue.

I think you'll be fine.

ISTBC but if it's a lightly loaded flight they won't make Y seats in the bubble available to request in the first place. The fact you were able to should mean you'll get them and I don't recall any posts on V-Flyer from people who've been moved downstairs - although of course anything is possible on the day.
