Hi All,

Heading out for the 2nd time to Las vegas from Manchester on the 4th of may but its not letting me book an upper class seat? What could be causing this?? Would someone be able to do a load check for me to see if its full?

Also i noticed that P.E is no longer a full cabin in the bubble and that we need to share with economy with the toilets at the front in P.E for the whole cabin?????? Why did they change this????

Regards

David

Just purely to get more people on board I think David , I agree its a shame as an all PE bubble was fantastic and it felt like you were on your own little plane

Although that shouldn't affect the OP as he's flying out on the 4th.

More pertinent is the fact that it's a UK bank holiday weekend. Flights to all the leisure destinations will be very busy.

david22294 - there's still plenty of UC availability on the 4th ex Gatwick if that's a possible option for you.

When this change was being discussed at the refit time, and it was thought to be a great loss to the PE experience, some people thought it was todo with disability laws and access to PE, something like equal amounts of seats available to the disable Y passengers...

The change had nothing to do with the disability requirements. Airlines have to provide access to all cabins on the main deck, something that VS have always complied with.

The decision by VS to increase the PE cabin downstairs and move some Y seats upstairs was purely a commercial decision.
