Load check favour

Can someone look up
VS 354 on 10th Nov
VS 355 departing Sat 22nd Nov 2am.

Only need the UC cabin codes Z/J/D/G etc - already in PE.

Thanks, want to know if to burn some miles on an upgrade or not on the latter flight (the answer is obviously yes, but the seat-map even this far out is showing both flights as busy in PE), so hoping for G availability on day as my ticket class is no good for a in-advance upgrade sadly). I've had mixed luck on the Sat flights before.

Thanks for help!

And if anyone is able to help, could you please also check UC/PE load on VS030 on 17th Nov? Many thanks.

Thanks greatly. Fingers crossed for the on day upgrade being possible or an op-up if not... As said already know W is busiest I've seen it on seat selection screen. No doubt due to the 700 quid pe fares.

Still at least now have clubhouse access regardless thanks to fresh minted au status!

Thanks ever so much. Not much chance of an upgrade from PE to UC for us then! Must admit wasn't expecting it really as UC is always in demand on the overnight flight back.

Don't use the seat map as any indication as to whether a cabin is full (or not) VS only release 60% of seats for advance requests to those remaining 40% will show up as not available.

I contacted VH yesterday just to see how much they might want to charge to upgrade our return flight from PE to UC, as I had seen there were still some seats available from the load check

They wanted £2350. Even the guy on chat said it was a lot of money! We only paid £3700 for the 17 night holiday with UC outbound and PE return, so I think we will make do with PE on the way back!

If you're looking for 2 seats, they'll be charging the C bucket (the second priciest) for them as all the cheapest buckets have sold out. If they're still unsold on the day it's worth asking at check-in as they may sell them cheaper there.
