Hi, i'm a new member to the forum (and trans-atlantic flight for that matter) but have been enjoying reading posts for a few weeks now
.
However I need some help - I am flying VS001 LHR to EWR (and VS002 for the return trip) in late May in Economy but being a 'newbie' I booked my trip incl. flights through Thomas Cook (which I now regret) and have been allocated seats 58D and 58E. Upon logging in to Managing Flights on the VA website, I can view the seat plan but all other seats are unavailable. Is this normal or is it possibly due to the fact I booked through Thomas Cook?
I have read here that more (possibly better) seats appear closer to the departure date which I hope to secure but I am worrying that due to what I can/can't see due to booking through Thomas Cook on the VA website that I will not be able to choose these? Any ideas?
