I've personally had it confirmed that VS won't be bringing the passenger inaugural flight forward so.....who is with me on the 10th September? Would love to meet a few members in the Clubhouse or lounge, or both.

If a G appears I'll be there. Availability is still wide open so I'm hopeful.

We actually met on the 787 inaugural to BOS....

Ah did we.... I'm afraid that awful English Sparkling didn't treat me very well...;-)

You're correct. I've just logged into my booking and it's wide open in J, according to the seat map so I'm pretty sure those G's will open up soon enough.

I won’t be on the Inaugural but I will
be giving her a spin on the 2nd of October due to the cancellation of my Hong Kong trip!

Hey All,

Hope you have a great inaugural flight tomorrow. Hopefully someone will be so kind as to do a TR.

I was hoping for some feedback on the new 1-2-1 config in upper. I am taking Mrs Reado to NYC on Oct 19th. It's her first flight with Virgin in Upper. Do you think that the 2 "middle" seats are good for couples? Looking at the limited number of pictures I can find, it might be better to have 1 aisle and 1 window seat?

Thanks!

I'm on VS153 tomorrow in J, looking forward to it! It will be good to meet fellow V-Flyer members.

I've been flying VS for 28 years (makes me feel old) and on V-Flyer for a few years but not posted much at all, need to change that.....

We're flying UC on the A350 on the 26th Sept

What's the menu at the moment? - can someone take a snap of it? - and did you get to choose before flying?

Thanks

Peter
