VA Seating Q

[hayleyneeyore]

Does anyone know if the last pair of seats in VA Economy (I think 64 HK/AC) recline? :D

Nothing on V-Flyer to suggest that they don't. Only potential downside of these seats is that people sometimes stand in the space behind which may be an issue if you want lots of sleep and they talk loudly. Also very close to the toilet but that may be a good or a bad thing depending on your bladder:D

yep this is very true :yes:

The seats do recline and no whiners behind you to complain about it, which is great.

HOWEVER, the people standing in that space behind can be incredibly annoying. Especially when they're standing there trying to watch your tv :lol: and talking during the night on the way back.

It's also definitely busier with people going back and forth.

I SEEM to remember, but could be wrong, that those seats have a grating in front of them next to the plane wall so it's less easy to stretch out your legs into the gap but could be misremembering.

We've had similar seats on the Emirates (which is probably not much help) On our last flight we had a couple of guys who stood behind us all the way on the outward journey and treated the back of the plane like their own personal bar!

By the time we landed I knew their life story (even with my headphones on)
The seats were also next to the toilets so we chose different ones for the return flight.

Thanks for your input guys :)

We are certainly trying for the pairs of seats again - we had row 62 this time, which was great! But I began thinking that the last seats would be good on the way back since sitting upright is sooo uncomfortable! I guess I can take earplugs for the annoying people?! :lol:

We had the last row of seats and they did recline, but Keith is right, they do have a metal grating which means stretching out is not so easy - which is never is in economy anyway :lol: Also, sooooo many people stand there and watch your TV, it's very annoying, and you constantly hear the loo flush. In saying all that though, I'd have them again cause I like just having the 2 seats and not having to get up and down to let people go past....although, thinking about it, we have a number three to our family now :lol:

Thanks Vikki :D

I think I am definately going to get Row 62 (first pair of seats) on the way there, but am still debating for the return journey! I'd still love to go PE on the way back, but I doubt that will happen :lol:

The problem is, once you do PE, it's very hard to go back to economy :lol: We did PE last time, but when we go next time there'll be three of us, so I hope we'll be able to stretch to at least the return leg in PE :yes:

[hayleyneeyore]

I know what you mean :lol: That's why we didn't opt for a deluxe this time at WDW - I know if we stayed at WL there's no way I'd go back, and maybe next time we wouldn't be able to afford it :D

That first pair of seats are great as you get loads of space by the side of your window seat.

Has anyone had seats 61ac & 62ac in economy we have gone for these as we are flying as a family of 4 and appears to be a good idea?

Comments please.

We used them coming back once they were okay. This year we had 37 DEFG they are the last row before the toilets we worried that they might smell but they didn't at all the seats were perfect. We could recline them without worryig about anyone else. When we weren't using the pillows, blankets etc we were able put them behind our seat. For some reason it seemed we had more room that when we came back in Seats 41 DEFG the others were booked or I would have definitely had them again.

We have had seats 62A&C this year, and they were really good! Lots of room - you have a gap beside the window and it's really handy to put your things there during the flight :)

This year we have bagged 61A&C - there is an extra pocket because of the seat in front, and on the way back 63H&K... even though we booked our seats at 9am yesterday, the last rows of pairs both sides were already gone. We picked Row 63 on the thinking that Row 64 probably chose those seats to recline, so if they're reclining we can too :D
