Heaven is just around the corner - advice on seat required
I have my ticket confirmed LHR - JNB in upper class (best route deal ever) but what are the best seats. Any advice to get that bit of something extra out of the flight.

If its a 747 you have the choice of seats on either the upper or lower deck. The front of the upper deck is best for privacy/peace and quiet, downstairs is more lively (with a bar.)
Make sure you visit the Virgin Clubhouse at LHR before you depart. Great food, with views over the runway. You can even book a haircut/massage etc.
What was the great deal you got on your ticket?

Sorry Tim58, I have to disagree about the top deck of a 747. I find them pretty noise, as there tends to be a lot of coming and going to the flight deck. The best place for piece and quite is the very front of the lower cabin. This is far from the bar, with nothing in front to create traffic. You also don't have any seats to recline in front of you.

Jongar,
i take it that you've never flown Upper Class before?
The in-flight beautician, is there for manicures, massages, etc. They are the same as the girls that work in the Virign Touch Salons in the ClubHouses. The ClubHouses do offer more service though, like haircuts, full back massage, etc.
I use the Salon everytime I use the ClubHouses, you can have up to 2 service, I normally go for a haircut and a back massage. Though the Head massage is very relaxing!!
It is great service that Virgin offers, and I do reccommend you give it a whirl.
Thanks,
Richard
