New advance seat reservation system now LIVE

Ditto, On at 06:00. Had to refresh the holding page going into manage my booking, but once in quite slick, even with the additional workflow for payment (0.00 for PE) and confirming my ability to walk upstairs)

WAKE UP.... we have just got our seats at 06:35....It's open!

Mine all sorted too but where did that 8am start come from? as the new system was up and running before 6am uk time.

Yep! Got mine reserved at 06:10 this morning! 6A & 6K in the bag, with a full flight of seats available (sorry not sorry, to anyone who tries nabbing 6a-k on my flight )

Hopefully due to time, will also manage to be SEQ1 ! Soon see.

So thankful for this forum! I was wandering around the kitchen planning on waiting until 8am and I noticed that you guys had posted about it already being open. :-)

Managed to grab 6A&K on my flight which is what I wanted.

Nice and smooth and easy to use.

A notice on the VA website states 8am on the 18th

That makes two of us! People that are unaware of this being open are going to be hating on us when they look at their seat maps and see the 6A&K seats gone!

Oh well

Just been on the site at 7a.m and it has let me book it! So get in quick. X

Haters gonna hate!!!

I am assuming that they dud it early probably to check it worked before 8am? Then thug could pull it if it all went wrong?

Just done all my seats for my little TP/mileage run with Little Red too!!

Since I am travelling alone for my return I didn't nab either of 12a or K on the 747 coming back...Im not sure how romantic it would be being toe to toe with a stranger!!

Gosh - good job I checked slightly early!! All sorted for next year! I like the new system - very easy to use (even for me )

Just sorted my seats for flight next April. No one else had selected seats yet unsurprisingly

Mine sorted too. Was able to choose 2 PE from a wide open seat map for March. 2 economy for January, logged in to Mr D's MMB as he is a Au and although I'm only Ag I wasn't charged the £25. Does this mean the rest of the family travelling with the Au member also have seat requests free of charge in economy?

Got my 6A 6K both ways

What's the bet that the website will crash @ 08:01 on November 18th?

Its not that stable or fast at the best of times!

Better late than never!

Apologies Virgin, the system worked at 7:05 GMT so vey happy after getting the seats I wanted. Lets hope VS don't change them as we have suffered before.

Easy, slick and simple to use, well done

Worked like a charm this morning ... Managed to get 4&5K on the way out (A346) and 20H&K on the way back

Just got all the seats we wanted for our skiing trip in feb and our vegas trip in July. The whole thing actually works really well, no glitches, looks like a decent modern site - amazing!

Delighted as we've managed to take over the front three rows (12, 14, 15) for the LHR-JFK segment in feb, just what we were after.

Love VFlyer for all the info! Just snaffled 4A,5A for me and Mrs P on the A346 next year to LA...good choice or should I have gone A&K?
Nice looking site for VS IT!

Thanks for the heads up favourite seats booked both out and back and system worked great. Just hope this doesn't change and we retain our seats.. Call me a pessimist but you know Virgin IT !!!

Just nabbed mine: 10A both ways LHR/JNB/LHR in April/MAy next year.

Nice fresh look to the booking pages as well.

Oh and it was quick...no lag per the old pages.

yay booked our seats for NYC in Jan, gone for 12a&k on 747 out, even though the husband wants to be close to the bar

and 12,14a on return day flight in a346 as a compromise
No one else has selected seats yet

Compliments to VA for the up to date IT!

Thank goodness I checked here 15 mins before 8am!

Have bagged 6A&K and 12A&K on the LHR and LGW 744 respectively, and also the 4&5A and 4&5K on the UCDS to and from ORD! And 22H&K for LGW A330 in PE.

All of the seats were completely open and I was the first to reserve! Very happy and thank you for all your advice re the seat selection.

Very simple to use! Worked a treat...
Now the seats are requested does this means the holiday officially starts???

Very happy with 12A and K both ways on a 747 to and from JFK next year. Interesting that on the VS45 outbound on 31st March all other seats save for 12A and K were already taken , whilst none were taken for the return.

Went in at 7.50am UK time and got 79JK 80HJK for my VS71 & VS72 no problem!

Went back in now 8.02am out of curiosity and the seat map won't load, looks like server struggling with load.
