Virgin Australia Fleet Boeing 777-300ER Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

This Boeing 777-300ER aircraft seats 339 passengers in a three-class configuration and is used on long-haul routes.

There are 37 seats in Business Class, 24 seats in Premium Economy, 75 seats in Economy X and 203 seats in Economy Class.

Virgin Australia flies the Economy X experience on this aircraft.

Economy X offers a more premium experience at the airport and onboard.

Economy X seats have additional legroom, preferred overhead storage space, priority boarding as well as priority screening at the airport.

“The Business” cabin includes 37 flat bed seats, including 24 in the forward cabin and 13 in a rear cabin with a lounge/bar in between.

The reverse herringbone seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 fashion with mood lighting.

Center seats have sliding privacy dividers if you are traveling solo and don’t get a window seat.

High-powered USB charging ports quickly charged devices and a universal power outlet was also available.

When it comes to reverse herringbone seats, there are two types.

One is called the Super Diamond seat by Rockwell Collins (used by British Airways on its new A350, China Airlines, Hong Kong Airlines, Qatar Airways, and WestJet among others).

The other is the Cirrus seat by Safran/Zodiac (used by Air France, American Airlines, Delta, Finnair, JAL among others).

Virgin Australia uses the Super Diamond, which has a fold-down tray table below the entertainment screen.

Virgin Australia’s Boeing 777-300ER premium economy product has three rows of 2-4-2 seating.

Seats are arranged with a whopping 41 inches of pitch, leaving an incredible amount of legroom and personal space.

That impressive pitch allowed Virgin Australia to install seats that recline a whopping 9 inches.

Seat measured 20 inches between the armrests, which is above average for premium economy.

The bifold tray table extended from the armrest.

When unfolded, the tray table measured 14 inches wide by 10 inches deep.

If you needed a little extra space, the tray table moved forward a few inches.

The only pair of seats in the cabin without a fixed armrest were the two seats in the middle of the middle section.

In the seatback, there was a large pocket and two smaller pockets in the front, which were barely noticeable at first but useful for storing cellphone, boarding pass and passport without needing to toss these in the larger pocket with everything else.

Under the seat, there was an adjustable, retractable footrest and a tight area for storing a backpack.

The space was squeezed at each seat by an inflight-entertainment box and the seat supports.

None of the seats had a legrest.

However, flight attendants provided footrests for passengers in bulkhead seats to support their feet while they tried to relax or sleep.

Although bulkhead seats are typically some of the best seats in a cabin, the 41 inches of pitch leave more than enough legroom in the other rows, and the lack of legrest or fixed footrest make the bulkhead seats less desirable.

The seat’s headrest is adjustable up and down and has small wings to cradle your head while you try to sleep.

There were two lavatories at the back of the cabin. It seemed these were technically shared with the economy cabin, but the flight attendants drew a curtain between the economy cabin and the galley where these were.

That dissuaded some — but not all — economy passengers from using them.

The economy seats are arranged in a 3-3-3 configuration, with 2-3-2 near the bathrooms.

They are 18.5 inches (47cm) wide, with a 32-inch (81cm) seat pitch and a 15cm (6in) recline.

The seatback in-flight entertainment system is equipped with a nine-inch (22.9cm) screen.

Seat Map and Seating Chart Boeing 777-300ER Virgin Australia

Business class consists of 37 flat bed seats that have 180 degrees recline.

These seats are located in two sections.

First section consists of 7 rows of seats.

The best seat here is considered the seat 1A because it offers more privacy.

Location of the lavatory in front may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 1G and 2K.

The noise from the bar and lavatory located behind will represent problem for passengers of the seats 6DGK and 7A.

Behind the exit row another 4 rows of business class seats are located.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 8th row offer additional space for passengers’ legs.

However, close location of the bar and lavatory may be bothersome as well as for passengers of the seat 9A.

Behind business class 24 recliner seats of premium economy class are located.

These seats have 9 inches recline, are located in 3 rows that have 2-4-2 configuration.

The only disadvantage of the seats of the 15th row is lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Limited recline and proximity of the galley and lavatories are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 17th row.

Economy class may accommodate 278 passengers.

The seats of the economy class are divided into three sections.

First section has 6 rows of seats: 2 rows with 3 seats each and 3 rows have 3-3-3 configuration.

Passengers of the seats 20HJK, 21ABC and 21DFG will take advantage of extra legroom.

Among disadvantages: lack of floor storage during take-off and landing, reduced width and close location of the galley and lavatories.

Limited recline is the main disadvantage of the seats 25DFG.

The second section of economy class seats is located behind the exit row.

This section consists of 13 rows of seats that have 3-3-3 configuration.

Due to the exit row located in front the seats 26BC, 26DFG and 26HJ offer extra legroom.

The legroom of the seats 26A and 26K on the contrary is limited because of the exit door that protrudes inside.

Also the seats of the 26th row have the following disadvantages: no floor storage during take-off and landing and reduced width because the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable.

Location of the galleys and lavatories behind and limited recline are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 38th row.

The third section of economy class seats is located behind another exit row.

There are 14 rows of seats here.

Passengers of the seats 39BC and 39HJ will take advantage of extra space for their legs while the seats 39A and 39K have limited legroom due to exit doors protrusion.

Passengers tend to congregate in the area of the seats of the 39th row while waiting to use lavatories and thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats.

As the tray tables are built-in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

As there are no seats behind the seats 50C and 50H are often bumped by other passengers passing by.

Close location of the lavatories will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 51B, 51 DFG, 51J and 52AC, 52HK.

Limited recline makes the seats 51DFG, 52AC and 52HK bad seats.

Virgin Australia Fleet Airbus A330-200 Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

This Airbus A330-200 has 20 Business Class seats and 255 Economy Class seats for a total capacity of 275 passengers.

Virgin Australia uses this aircraft on trans-Australian routes.

Virgin Australia flies the Economy X experience on this aircraft.

Economy X offers a more premium experience at the airport and onboard.

Economy X seats have additional legroom, preferred overhead storage space, priority boarding as well as priority screening at the airport.

Business Class is dubbed “The Business”, with 20 Business ‘Suites’ in a 1-2-1 configuration, and 255 Economy seats in a 2-4-2 configuration.

There are 5 rows of 4 Business Class seats each.

With this ‘reverse herringbone’ configuration, every seat has full aisle access.

They are also all fully lie-flat.

Window seats are angled toward the window which is great for looking out at the view while in flight.

Centre seats of course have no window and face inward.

These are better for travelling with a companion that you want to converse with, but do have a privacy divider which can be fully raised if you are travelling solo.

Virgin’s ‘The Business’ Suite turns into a lie-flat bed at the push of a touch screen near your elbow.

The seat extends and lowers to match the footrest that’s positioned under the inflight entertainment screen in front of you.

The foot rest is fixed under the entertainment screen in front of you and has just enough room for a small carry on bag or your shoes to fit underneath, though that’s not the most convenient place to put a bag if you extend the seat into a fully flat bed.

There is HD 16-inch touch-screen entertainment offering a decent selection of films, new and classic.

You can also listen to a small selection of podcasts or do the challenging crossword at the back of the in-flight magazine.

The economy class cabin on Virgin Australia’s A330s stretches for about 30 rows, most in a standard 2-4-2 configuration but with some rows of 2-3-2, for a total of 251 seats.

The rows are offset, with the centre seating block sitting around halfway between the window pairs.

The seats sport a thick padded bolster-style headrest in the middle with adjustable ‘wings’ on either side.

The centrepieces are covered in red, purple or silver – the colours of Virgin Australia’s new palette – but they’re applied in a random arrangement to break help break up the usual visual monotony of an economy cabin.

The standard seat pitch is a fairly common 31 inches, with 33 inches at the bulkheads.

Grab an exit row seat (for an extra $70 each way on top of your standard economy class fare between Sydney and Perth) and you can stretch out for 38-39 inches.

The 31 inch pitch is going to be a tight squeeze for anyone over the 1.8 metre or 5’10” mark.

Unfortunately, unlike Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330, there’s no power socket lurking behind the tray table.

That’s something most tech-toting travellers would be welcome on the five hour coast-to-coast flight.

Seat Map and Seating Chart Airbus A330-200 Virgin Australia

First 5 rows of seats represent seats of business class that have 1-2-1 configuration.

So, there are totally 20 flat bed seats here that have 180 degrees recline.

All these seats are standard.

Economy class may accommodate 255 passengers.

The seats of the economy class are divided into two sections.

First section consists of 18 rows of seats that have 2-4-2 configuration.

Passengers traveling with infants are often seated on the seats of the 10th row as they offer bassinets.

Passengers of the seats 10AC and 10HK will take advantage of extra legroom.

Among disadvantages of the seats of the 10th roware: reduced width, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and the noise from the galleys and lavatories located in front.

The main disadvantages of the seats of the 27th row are limited recline and location of the lavatories behind.

The second section f economy class seats is located behind the exit row.

There are 15 rows of seats here.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 28th row offer extra space for passengers’ legs.

However, passengers tend to gather in the area of these seats while waiting to use lavatories and thus causing discomfort to passengers’ of these seats.

As the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

As there are no seats behind the seats 37D and 37G are often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.

The seats 38DFG are a little narrower than standard, have some additional floor storage but it will be difficult to maneuver the legs.

Missing window makes the seat 39A bad seat.

The only disadvantage of the seats 41AC and 41HK is limited recline.

The seats 42DFG are considered bad seats because of limited recline and location of the galley behind.
