Yesterday I made it to Heathrow Airport plenty early so I could enjoy the Clubhouse, though I had an interesting interaction at check-in that didn't phase me till boarding time.

Believe me, the VS 346 is a much nicer ride in UC than the 744. Though 16A is unfortunate. More like 10A or 11A. or 5K or 6K.

@Jordan - on some configurations of the 744, row 16 is in the nose, you silly cow 😉

well if I believe the Virgin website, I'll be flying a 346 VS Upper Class..we'll see if that magically transforms into a 747. ;o)

So, Ben, sjs and any other Upper Class veterans, what seat on the the 346 or 747 would you suggest?

I've actually never had an equipment swap on VS (and flown them more than I'd like to think about). On the 346 10-13A and 4-7K are the best seats, regardless of whether you're traveling solo or en paire.
