Virgin Australia flights to Doha now on sale

[zainman]

Yeah me too as I booked a J reward using Aeroplan and cannot select seats online, netiher on Air Canada or Virgin, of course there is no QR PNR as it's a VA flight.

Also, I have a connecting flight on Virgin from MEL to SYD before connecting on to VA1 and can't even select seats on the first domestic flight! Booked in J

Taking that when I called for economy seat selection, I was informed all available rows had the aisle seat blocked for accessibility bookings it would be interesting what they'd do any business class seats because they are all aisle seats lol.

It's a joke.

Seat selection you need to call them. (13 6789). Let us know ho you go

Go to MMB on Air Canada app or website and it gives you the partner reference numbers. Need to go on VA site to select seats

Called to select my VA business rewards seats. Only rows 7 and back are available.

QR business rewards bookings allow all rows to be selected, even row 1. So quite poor from VA

777 doesn't have row 7
Rows 8-11 with 16 seats in a more intimate section of business class.
Many would prefer.

Rows 1-6 not already taken or just not available on VA wet lease flight?
Do you have Virgin status?
Perhaps WP and Gold have preference for front rows?
Seems weird because they would want to fill those 24 seats, somebody's got to sit in them.

Perhaps the QR elites get first dibs.

When I booked my flight, over the phone, because I had to cancel another reward booking first, the rep asked if I wanted him to select my seats. I got 1K and 3K

 

[jase05]

Found a few pretty decent valued seats in J. Being called at 158k is a bargain IMO
PER-DOH-IAD isn’t a bad way to get to the US.
Can think of worse things than 26hrs in QSuites

Are seats 1E & 1F or 3E & 3F better? 1E and 1F are bulkead but may not matter? What do you think? Thanks so much.

When I called yesterday to select my seats, they said for rewards bookings only seats rows 7 back can be selected. So I selected rows 9E and F.
You can try asking for rows 1 or 3.

Thank you. The agent moved us from row 7 as its next to the toilets (thanks k1s3k1!) and said we could have row 1 or 3. He suggested 3 was the best.

Oh surprising. I might call again to change my seats. Maybe different agent different luck

F on the A380 is the way to go. while it lasts

Being close to the toilets isn’t great but give me the backwards facing seats anyday thank you.
My preference is always the rear facing seats

I do to on Qsuites.
My wife has to go window so we try to go 1A, 2A.
I "volunteer" to go backwards and get the better seat close to window and further from the aisle.
