Re: Gatwick to Montego Bay, Virgin Atlantic

I am booked on the above flights departing 12th October and returning 19th October. I have booked 2 premium economy seats and have been allocated 31 H & K. Looking at your seat plan website I cannot find these seats as Premium.

Can you confirm that they are.

Many Thanks
