I’ve been asked this here before but as someone who’s new to airline points & voucher redemption I’m rather in the dark.
I’ve heard and seen much about the dreaded ‘coffin’ seats on Virgin’s 787s, is there a way of avoiding them? I know Virgin often swap aircraft types but if I’d like to do my best to avoid them in the first place.
Does anyone have any thoughts or tips to help me or is it just a matter of phoning Virgin as I have a voucher to use.
Yes, book another airline.
Seriously though, you can never guarantee an aircraft type until you are in the seat.
Personally as someone who spent most of my life travelling economy then graduating to PE and I’m now thankful I can travel business class I don’t really have a problem with the seat as I appreciate the opportunity to travel that way. I do think there is a bit of snobbery about knocking the seat.
Try it for yourself and make up your own mind.
