I presume, if we've already booked our flight for next year before this came into effect we won't be expected to pay!
So, Tracy, do you read that to be that if you are flying PE or UC that you can select your seat up to 336 days in advance without having to pay the fee? Presumably that would go into effect on 18th November also? We are flying PE home from LAX on 17th May and funnily enough I was just trying to work out what dates we would be able to pre-book our seats (and they definitely hadn't changed it this morning so you must be really on the ball). So, for outbound, we should be able to book at 72 hours prior (red FC members) but for our PE return flight, we should be able to book our seats on 18th November
Sadly, I don't think that is the case Catherine. Because VA have been saying it is coming for a while now, the only exemptions from the fee are as listed on the link that Tracy posted above.
Before I booked the fly drive I looked on the Virgin web site to see if there was any info about having to pay to pre-book seats and there was no mention of anything possible being changed, so if they try and charge me I will be fighting it all the way! To be honest if it wasn't for the fact that I come on here I wouldn't know anything about it!

I hate to say it but that info was definitely there. For months now (if not more than a year), the website has made it clear that the charging for pre-booked seats is coming but that, until it was in place, everybody could book 60 days in advance for free. You can try fighting it but I wouldn't hold out much hope for you.
So to clarify, for our dates, VA want £1400 for an economy ticket, PLUS another £50 to choose the seat?
Given that VA are the worst airline we have used in the last decade, I'm going to go with...no.
Probably 8am going on current trends however I fully expect their website to be down most of the dayWhat time on November 18th will this open up?
My friend has booked her seats flying on the 29/12/2015 and they have told her she does NOT have to pay for her seats. The girl said flights already booked will not incur a charge. Im not paying an extra £200 to book seats. We booked flights in september to travel may so we will see. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Hmmmm. This is confusing and has me slightly scared. So, I've booked my flights for July 15, will I not incur a charge and still not be able to book until 60 days but those who are still to book can pay and reserve before me.... Have I made myself clear?
