Hi all,
Hope this is posting in the right section - if not, admins please move !

First question (and I really should know the answer to this !) - how far out are Velocity Reward seats released ? I know it's not 365 days, but am not sure of the exact timeframe.

Second question - I am looking at booking 2xReward seats for next July (late), probably in W at this stage as my point balance is not as healthy as I would like it to be :(

Anyway - I am assuming that when I go to book these seats as soon as they come up over the next few months that the seating will still show the current configuration and not the newly refurbished one that is due to roll out early next year (I think !). From what I understand, the W cabin is going from the current 40 odd seats down to 24. How will this work for bookings made now ? Will the booking still allocate seating for 40 people, or will it stop at 24 - and will the configuration still be the same of 2-4-2? Sorry if this is a "crystal ball" type question, but was just hoping someone more knowledgeable then me might have an answer.

I guess what I am concerned about is because I will be using points that I may be bumped back to Y in the "wash" of sorting out current vs new config. I really hope that makes some sort of sense and people can get the gist of what I am saying !

I am currently WP with VA and will still be when I make my booking - but by the time I fly I will have dropped to SG which is what I will be aiming to maintain in the future.

Thanks so much for reading my ramble :)

Cheers,
Brooke
