Virgin Blue Passenger Seat Tip - 28 November 2007

Boeing 737-70/800

Row 14 is an emergency exit but not classed as Blue Zone as the seats don't recline, however the seat pitch makes up for the non reclining seat and is worth requesting. The 737 700 bulk head seats D/E/F have exrta legroom and are not classed as Blue zone.

Virgin Blue Passenger Seat Tip - 21 November 2007

Boeing 737-70/800

On the 700, avoid row 11 and on the 800 avoid row 13 as these rows are in front on the emergency exit row and do not recline.

Virgin Blue Passenger Seat Tip

Boeing 737

If you want a window seat and you use the Blue Check (self-check in at the airport) or the Web Check-in, and if you are travelling on the 737-700 (24 rows), an odd numbered row behind the wing (eg 19, 21 or 23) will give you two windows to look out of. It you are travelling on the 737-800 (30 rows), an even numbered row behind the wing (20, 22, 24, 26 or 30) will also give you two windows to look out of.

Airbus A320

Blue Zone seating is worth the extra AUD$30.00 per trip. [Not per leg] Put in a request for Row 1 ABC DEF, perfect for last in first out! Seats in Row 1 and 12 are the best for extra leg room. Classed as "Blue Zone" seats, they are excellent and worth the extra $50 if flying more than 2 hrs.
