as nobody has yet posted Oz seat reviews I guess you've checked the standard seat reviews for the 346 on this site - or even - shock horror[:0] on seatguru.com?

Thought I was going mad when I got your mail [:I] Declan and I are different people. He's a VS employee - probably crew I think whereas I'm just a spotty nerd...[8D]. Regretfully I can't add anything here. [:(] suis desolŽ...

Well it might be rude to say "I want seat..." :D, but in general I've found that if you ask something like "Is seat [whatever] available, and if so could I take it please?" then that's just fine :)

Cheers

Hi British

With regards to the seating on the 346, I am quite frequently flying them to HKG, as a matter of fact i am going in a month time (roll on xmas). From what I can see from your post that you will be in Economy, from previous experience I once sat in row 42H and then row 54H, I found that the second section (row 51 onwards) of economy has greater legroom to the seat in front. Now I always ask to seat in that section of the cabin. Also I found that seat D,E,F and G have even more legroom than A,C,H and K seats. You have to bear in mind that the IFE black box beneath seat A,D,G and K will take up alot of room under the seat in front of you and with such a long journey ahead of you, you might want to avoid those seats.

To guarantee (nothing is 100% guarantee) to have the seat you want then why dont you ring reservation/flying club or go on the internet to request the seat you want if its available.

Happy Flying :)

Hi Sky

thanks for that - you cannot reserve the bulk head seats before hand, but i have reserved 2 at the near back already

will ask to the fire exit and bulk ones first.

see you on there!

You can actually book tickets from HKG-SYD on the Virgin website so if that is the case then my seat should be taken up by passengers boarding at HKG to SYD.

I am expecting alot of passengers will be deplaning at HKG.

Happy Flying :)
