Going to Florida early next year. I'm going about sorting insurance, child meals etc... while on the virgin website doing the childrens meals I looked onto the seating map.
I was on the undertsanding from what I was told at the travel agents that you could only book your seats 24 hours beforehand.

So looking at the map notices over half of the seats are already unavailable. now would this be just to stop people pre booking the best seats now? or have I been given the wrong info?

cheers in advance

As soon as you have your e-ticket etc details, you should be able to select your seats. I have already selected mine for flights next June....

Wrong info. You can check in online 24 hours before the flight, but as already said, you can reserve your seat from the moment you have your e-ticket.

Before you choose your seat, have a look on here....

....for some good info.

Yup thats correct they release the majority of seats at T-24. Have your passport details handy when you do online check in (OLCI) to speed up the process.
