Is this one of those quad seats areas?
Where 2 of the seats face the other 2 thru a window / portal.
If so your 3rd seat could see other 2.
Others will know.how get what I'm across more clearly.

Yes, block of four, which can be converted to an open suite of the four seats.

I read on line about this, especially what happens if there are three of you, not four.

Seems for 3 the set-up is less than ideal, with only a tiny opening, and you have to slide sideways to see through it.

If the fourth seat happens to be empty, great, but it’s a risk.

Sorry if has been recently asked ...
If Virgin offer you the bidding system for a Business upgrade ( specifically for Hobart to Sydney & return ), what is the likely winning bid figure ?

I'm not holding my breathe, as I bid $60. each way ( BID not BET !! )

Any chance of winning with a 'low ball' offer ?

Looking at booking 2x J reward seats back from Europe either via SIN or DOH in Nov next year.
I have booked a lot of reward seats with QFF but finally have enough points to use Velocity.

I want to book as soon as possible so I'm looking as far in advance as possible to plan ahead.
All the articles say seats open up 330 days before the date, but the earliest I can find from even just DOH is just about every day up until Aug 29th (279 days). Is this the usual, should I just wait until 270 days in advance?

I can see Singapore have a lot of seats available further in the future but would prefer not to transfer due the the exchange rate.

Look for tickets on SG - LHR/FRA/BCN/AMS to SIN. Currently tickets are only released until 20/10/26. Keep watching these routes. QR is dry, plenty flying to Europe though. You can definitely fly to Singapore in business, then take premium economy to Sydney.
