Ahoj, moc rad syislm resp. ctu, kdyz si nekdo podle meho tipu koupi letenku! Cena bohuzel vydrzi jen par dnu, takze je dobre si zajistit odber mych clanku mailem, a reagovat (nakupovat) ihned po zverejneni. Navic samozrejme nejsou zapocitane priplatky za zavazadla (ja letam jen na lehko) a obcas i za poplatek za platbu kartou. Nicmene i tak tahle varianta vychazi podle me velmi priznive. Nemuzu mit dovolenou? Ja uz mam jine plany.

there is no rear WC per the diagram do Virgin seriously expect just 10 UC passengers to be happy at 33 economy passengers tramping through their cabin past their beds to use the loo? This breaks all the principles of the separate cabin class system

Air France has some configs with economy upstairs but they aren’t mixed with business. Only Air New Zealand also has the split config on their 744 upper decks.

Thanks for the links on the TSA stuff!

This sounds like what Air France has been doing. ??? Earlier this year I got to upgrade — for a fee — at the time of signing in to an upstairs seat on a Paris to San Francisco flight, a little roomier than economy downstairs. Believe me, I appreciated it.

And Virgin’s seats in the back of the cabin aren’t even premium economy. They’re just economy, so the “longing looks of envy” will be even more pronounced.

Ugh – Air New Zealand has that configuration on their 747s’ upper decks – Business Class herring bone seats at the front, and Premium Economy seats at the back . The front toilets (behind the cockpit) have been taken out, and only the rear ones by the galley remain, so the BC pax have to pass through the Premium Economy rows to get to the toilets.

I don’t know what’s more pitiful – the longing looks of envy from the PE pax staring wistfully at the Business class flat-beds, or the people in BC, embarrassed from having the PE pax staring at them the whole trip. From either seat class, the flight is long and less enjoyable!
