virgin blue zone seating
Check this out, Virgin have introduced the 'blue zone' seating on their services. I got all excited thinking that they possibly were gng to have a type of business class. But basically they are charging people an extra $50 per sector to sit in emergency aisle seats and also up the front in row 1.
personally i think its quiet tacky (no offence to anyone) QF dont charge u extra for sitting in an emergency aisle seat, or up the front of the Y class cabin!
your thoughts?
from their website:
Virgin Blue lets you step into the Blue Zone by releasing a new seating offer.
Virgin Blue has called these seats the Blue Zone for our guests who prefer certain seats on our aircraft such as the front row and the over wing exits. The Blue Zone offers the choice to pre-reserve one of these seats for a small additional charge on each one way sector.
You can secure a Blue Zone seat on all our long haul services between Perth & Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide – between Darwin & Brisbane, and between Cairns & Melbourne or Sydney.
How does it work? By simply paying an extra $50 per one way sector and booking via our Guest Contact Centre you can reserve your Blue Zone seat (subject to availability and CASA and Virgin Blue safety regulations*).
Its our way of giving you the choice of something a little extra over and above our regular seats pitch that have in excess of 30", which by the way matches up against our competitors economy class. so step into the Blue Zone.
