J seat allocation

[DJ332]

Just booked ADL-DRW return (flexi) and used just under 10,000 points to upgrade to J over the phone. The amicable agent ran through the benefits of upgrading to Business (like I didn't know already!) but I was surprised to be told I couldn't pre-allocate seats until 14 days out. Is this really the case? If I rang Virgin direct would they allow me to request 2A? Or does one have to be Plat/Gold to make such a request? Thanks

That's the case regardless of your status.

These days when you book, during the process there is a note provided for those eligible as to the date when seat selection may occur.
