Virgin have contacted me today to say that our flight from LGW - MCO has been cancelled
No big deal as we have been booked on to the earlier flight, same date.
However, we had requested 2 seats, upstairs in PE and for the new flight, all of these seats are taken.
There are no 2 seat configurations left to reserve so our best option seems to be 19D & 19E (2 in a row of 4)
Any opinions on these?
Looking at the seat map, I couldn't figure out if the stairs behind us would be an issue and if the seats actually recline (hoping this is possible as it's the back row!). Also, I'm not a fan of being near the toilets but we would be on the opposite side of the plane so hoping that's not too bad?
We've not got a whole lot of choice to be honest

No particular opinions on 19D and E but if you haven't got a load of choice and need a couple of seats together then I'd say stay where you are.

Don't worry all PE seats recline and the stairs aren't directly behind row 19.. there is a curtain, a bulkhead, and an aisle before you get to the bottom of the stairs from the back of your seat..

This is quite a nice intro to the bubble and you can see the distance between row 19 and the staircase at the start of the vid.

Hope that helps

I have taken row 19 by choice twice. We did have the window seats but I think D&E would be reasonable.
I like them because of the bulkhead behind so there is no one tapping the IFE in the back of your seat.
Other advantage is that you can be first off the plane and at the head of the queue for immigration.

Thanks for this!
I'm much happier with this seat choice now. I'd have preferred a row of 2 seats but as that is not available, I think this is certainly the best option
Thanks again
