Its a shame the small economy cabin has gone into the bubble.
We usualy get row 22 allocated by special assistance so the bubble is out of the question.

Thank you thank you! Have been trying to find this for ages! We went ahead and booked PE for October and are taking the risk...if we don't get refurbed planes we'll be OK but want to be upstairs if we get a non-refurbished plane...the not selecting our seats well in advance may kill me...but we decided we wanted to fly direct and wanted to go PE...so...

Thank you!

Now I find the upper deck claustrophobic and far too hot for sleeping

interesting - we really liked it...it felt kind of exclusive or something...and quiet...my hubby just said that he thinks he'd rather be downstairs in that little PE cabin than upstairs now...we shall see and fingers crossed for a happy surprise when we go to do online check-in.

I found the link on V-Flyer, dont think the page is public yet.
At least we know what to expect now.

I just re checked the prices for my flights.
23rd oct - nov 2nd and the prices are sky high.
Expertflyer says vs44 only has about 13 seats in all classes.

Soo glad i got a miles n money fare when i did.
Might see you out there in October

Jersey boys is fantastic especially when you can get $180 tickets for $100 here http://www.bestofvegas.com/Shows-Tickets/?cm_guid=1-_-100000000000000012751-_-5657395764&cm_mmc=Paid+Search-_-google-_-Best+of+Vegas+Shows+-+UK-_-Branding_best+of+vegas&gclid=CI_MkrOihbACFcQKfAodRzDUiw

I got seats 6 or 7 rows from the front and in the centre excellent seats first posted by retepetsir who went yesterday.
there is a whole thread about these tickets on Vegasmessageboard http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76034

There is also a whole thread on vegas shows

If you want Cirque firstly I am not a circus type show fan but both KA and LOVE were great and there is a summer of cirque promotion on at mo tickets from $55

If any of the above interest you I would purchase before you leave rathr than hope they are available when you get there, that way you dont have to queue at at a ticket booth and then queue again to get ticket from box office

We ended up 6 rows from the front and it was fantastic, really worth it for $99 a ticket .

Certainly recommended!

I think its a really simple name but I cant quite remember it!!
Had a look on page 1 but cant see it!
Also can anyone recommend which WT seats are best on this flight?
Thanks in advance

The online seat maps are rarely accurate.

Lots of seats don't get released until either On-line check in opens (24hr before) or are held back for other purposes and allocated at the desk.

Best to use on-line check-in as soon as it's open to try to get "good" seats (those these are never guaranteed)

ok thanks didnt know that... would i be better cancelling the ones i have ? also do you know when the check in opens ? is it 24 hours before ? i seem to remember 24 hours is the online check in time
