T-60 And A Bit

Curiously happy that at 1.5 hours before the allotted time I got my seat request in for our flight to St Lucia. UC Cabin is wide open except for, rather curiously (IMO), 1G, one of the centre seats. I'll check back during the day to see if there is a race to place seat requests.

Well done for getting your seats , perhaps 1G has a phobia of windows ?

I think that T-60 seating opens at 8am.

Curses! There was I thinking I was special

1G seems to be blocked on all A330s (out of LGW at least) - both of our legs to/from BGI in July have it blocked and it doesn't appear in any Expert Flyer seat maps.

Bassinet position, maybe?

I may be wrong but I think 1G may be designated a crew rest seat as the A330s don't have a dedicated crew rest area.

T60 for us 1G taken on both UC LGW/ANU, which just happens to be in 4 weeks and 6 days. Not that I'm counting…..

Assigned seats for the return this morning. 8 hours later, it's still only us and the phantom in 1G. All other seats available.

I also won a bet with myself, that at T-48 for the outbound all seats still available for assignment, save for ours, another pair taken by the bar and the phantom in 1G...

Yep, that blocked seat is a bassinet position seat as if you look at the seat maps on the VS website here bassinet positions are shown.
