Hi All

Can anyone give a insight on Virgin Business Class, Reviews????, Pictures??? I am booked on CBR-OOL flight which is operated by EMB 190. It is also my first time in business class. Also how many EMB 190s have business class installed in them and could you send me the regos.

Cheers Guys

All the 190's have business class and I think from memory the seats are slightly bigger than the 737 business class seats.

I've travelled Business Class on the E190 on a number of occasions and actually prefer it to the B737.

The seats are a good size and personal space is quite adequate. Although it is a different seat, it is at least on par with the product in the B737, if not better, in my opinion.

Seat 2F is my favourite - very private, good leg room and out of view from the rest of the cabin.

It's a shame VA don't have more Embraers, I really love travelling on them and will go out of my way to book on one.

Hope you enjoy your flight, Jacob!

I'm on an E jet CBR - SYD tomorrow morning, or maybe afternoon given this fog!!!

I'll try to get a photo or two for you if I can/remember.

Cheers

There won't be any photos from me today. Two cancalations and a delay later I should be on a ATR at 1135.

Another reason to love living in Canberra, fog delays!

Cheers

Flew my first ever sector on an E190 yesterday newcastle to brisbane in 13F so cant
Help you with the comfort of business class but i was very impressed with
The embraer, a bit more twitchy or sporty feeling than a 737 i reckon,
The stats say it has a shorter wingspan but i really enjoyed the flight !!
