I know that there have been a few threads about this already so forgive me if I should have added to one of those rather than start a new one (but I am new to this).
We are going in November from Gatwick with Virgin. Group is 3 adults, 2 children (9 & 5) with seats and 1 without (20 months). I would like to try and reserve seats as soon as possible to attempt to get us as close together as possible. Any advice where we should go for? I have seen the link to the seating plan but not sure where to try for.
For information I tried to book the holiday on-line and Virgin wanted to charge full adult price for one child - all to do with room occupancy etc. We booked a similar holiday 2 years ago and got a single person discount which countered this (couldn't go - medical reasons). Also it didn't seem to count the youngest in the car calculation and left us with a vehicle for 5! I rang them up and asked why we didn't still get the single person discount - they then booked it as 3 adults, 2 children and an infant staying in 2 rooms, the car for 6 people and honoured the on-line booking discount as well. This saved 2 or 3 hundred pounds against the on-line option. Not sure if this is just excellent service or they are desparate to book holidays.
Thanks in advance for any help.
