Hi

June 2007 I'm also flying with Virgin Express (BRU -> FCO) and I'm not sure I've chosen the right seat in the 737-300. Can anyone confirm that there is a window at seat 21A, so I can take some beautful pictures.

Thanks a lot!!

Qwerty

(Hope it is in the right forum)

Yeah I know. I've booked the flight already (for june 2007), so I've it for the cheap first minute price (I've chosen Virgin also for the times, so I'm pretty early in Rome and leave late some days later). The concept of Virgin Express and SN will remain seperate. I've also chose the special option to reserve a seat, so I've chosen 21A in the (according to the plan) 737-300, but I'm not sure the seat has a window.

Normally, seats xA and xF are windowseats in a Boeing 737-xxx (3-3 configuration).

Have a nice trip.

I think he knows that, but he's asking wether the windows are not misalligned at row 21 in the VEX 737's...

I think you can be pretty sure to have a window, as the windowless seats on a 737-300 are around row 7-8 in the 737-300, and around row 12-15 on a 737-400.
Row 23 on a 737-300 is towards the end of the plane, and all rows have windows over there...
By the way, I have never undestood why Boeing needs to hide some windows in the middle of the fuselage. I heard this is because tubes and pipes pass trhough this area. Anyway, it is very frustrating to realise that there is no window on your booked window seat....

I understand the question. There are sometimes surprises. Seats 7A and 7F on the SN Avro 100 are theoretically window seats, but there is no window in that row!

I agree with Duke. From my 737 experiences (also with Virgin Express) the windowless window seats are situated around the first third of the aircraft. So you should be fine I think.

That's correct, it is mainly for tubes (airco etc...) that you don't have windows.

Thanks. I've also contacted vrgin/SN about the schedule enz, because the wil merge and so on. They said they don't know the exact time schedule (however I've booked a certain time) en the exact plane (however, I've chosen my seat). But I'll be happy if I have a window with a nice view and I'm going around the same times. I've already paid.

Again, thanks all.

btw, hope I'm able to take my SLR-camera on board, with all those safety things
