Virgin Australia flights to Doha now on sale

[Jusrus]

Just sharing back my experience trying to secure a Y seat on my booking for VA2 (Doha to Sydney). On contacting VA, the aisle seats (yes, all of them) were ‘blocked for accessibility requirements’ - so I had the choice of a middle seat or aisle. I ended up in a window on Row 37. There doesn’t seem to be any preferential seating access for WPs.

Oh dear. 2 of my 3 are in business but I’ll be pretty unhappy if I can’t get an aisle in economy 6 months out.

All aisles are all blocked on expertflyer in Y

Has anyone had luck booking rows 1-7 on these flights as reward J? Seems like there’s only rows 7 or 11 available to select. Have HUCA’d multiple times for the same answer.

I had to book over the phone because I needed to cancel another flight first. On VA8 in Dec 25 the person on the phone was able to select seats 1K and 3 K for me.

On Expertflyer, VA Plats have the choice of all window seats (A/B/J/K) from Row 1 onwards. D/E/F/G seats from Row 1-6 are blocked.

I think the centre seats are locked as standard on QR native flights, too; it's something to do with keeping them for couples and families.

The rear-facing true window seats are great, though. 1K and 3K should do nicely, @Secco.

Yeah was hoping we could snag 3 E and F as a couple but no luck. Guess we’ll have to wait a bit.
