Standard J seat
standard J seat in this cabin. I was worried it would be too close to the bar/galley, but it wasn't and it didn't bother me at all. window is BEHIND you, so hard to call this a window seat lol
I still love Virgin
Yes these are not the best designed seats in the world, as you kind of can't look out the window much at all (it's behind you), and you can't recline straight down to bed mode (you have to flip the seat over to reveal the bed), but Virgin always provides good/fun/funky service, which is refreshing. I slept well in this seat, and in seat mode it reclines just enough to kick back and enjoy a movie. The traytable is huge, too.
Very narrow seat, hardly any armrest space, and NO POWER SOCKET. For a 10.5h flight. Just like in the 20th century
As per title
Very bad seat
Seat was not comfortable
No one to kick your seat

Bulkheads?
It is a nice seat, with wonderful leg room. Only pain is that you can lay down if the rest of the isle is un-occupied.
Not much room
Im only 5’ tall and struggled in this seat - couldnt sleep as on the aisle, backside very sore for days after flying
Can't go wrong with this seat, has extra legroom; no underseat stowage; no under-seat stowage during takeoff and landing; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Might want to skip this one if you can, may have limited recline; near the galley.
Solid choice, may have extra legroom; no seat reclining in front of you; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Could be an issue for some travelers, near the galley.
Definitely has some issues otherwise ok, near the galley.
Could be an issue for some travelers, may have limited recline.
Just not a good seat, may have limited recline; near the lavatory.
If you can, find another seat... may have limited recline; near the galley.
Pretty good seat all things considered, no seat reclining in front of you; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
