The two-two Economy cabin leaves every traveller with a window or aisle. Virgin's Economy X zone covers 16 seats in rows 4, 5, 6 and 9. Preferred Seating covers rows 7 and 8. Virgin does not give an exact Economy X pitch for this aircraft on its chart. SeatMap lists it as Unknown.
Choose row 9 for extra legroom. It is the aircraft's only exit row. Rows 4, 5 and 6 are also Economy X. Virgin uses Economy X as its product label. SeatMap's green and red colours give the verdict on each seat.
Preferred Seating row 8 is one to avoid when recline matters. The exit behind it limits how far it goes back. If the view matters, avoid 5A, 5F, 6A and 6F. They are still Economy X, but SeatMap marks them Avoid because the windows do not line up well.
Economy X is Virgin's label for extra legroom. On this E190-E2 it covers A, C, D and F in rows 4, 5, 6 and 9, 16 seats in all. SeatMap's green and red colours are its verdict on the individual seat.
Rows 7 and 8 are Preferred Seating. Give row 8 a miss if recline matters. The exit behind it limits how far the seat goes back. Row 9 is the only exit row and has extra legroom.
