Re: Gatwick to Montego Bay, Virgin Atlantic
I am booked on the above flights departing 12th October and returning 19th October. I have booked 2 premium economy seats and have been allocated 31 H & K. Looking at your seat plan website I cannot find these seats as Premium.
Can you confirm that they are.
Many Thanks
