Economy X 16 · Preferred Seating 8 · standard Economy 68
Economy X is Virgin's extra-legroom product: 16 seats in rows 4, 5, 6 and 9. Preferred Seating covers rows 7 and 8. Economy X pitch is about 32 inches at row 5 and about 33 at row 6. Rows 4 and 9 are not confirmed. Virgin quotes 34 to 39 inches for Economy X across its fleet, not for this aircraft.
Row 9 is the pick. It is the only exit row, with Economy X legroom. Rows 4 to 6 are the same Economy X product if you would rather not take an exit row.
Row 8 sits ahead of the exit, so recline is limited. Skip it if you plan to sleep. 5A, 5F, 6A and 6F have misaligned windows, but the legroom outweighs it and they keep a Good rating.
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. Row 9 is the only exit row.
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 is part of Economy X.
About 32 inches at row 5 and about 33 at row 6. Rows 4 and 9 are not confirmed on this aircraft. Virgin's 34 to 39 inch figure is fleet-wide.
No. Their windows do not line up well, but the extra legroom offsets that drawback. SeatMap rates all four as Good.
