Blue Zone Seating

Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue invite you to stretch out and relax in the 'Blue Zone'.

For a small additional charge, you can now pre-reserve an extra roomy over-wing exit row seat on Virgin Blue Embraer E190, and Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue Boeing 737 Aircraft.  Row 1ABC is also available on Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue Boeing 737 Aircraft (with the exception of Pacific Blue Bali flights, which are over wing exit row only) for the same charge.

The 'Blue Zone' seating offers you the equivalent of a 39 inch (99 cm) seat pitch - that means plenty of room to make yourself comfortable.

It's our way of giving you the choice of something a little extra, over and above our regular seats - which by the way, have an average seat pitch of 31inches, which is not to be sneezed at! But if you'd love a little bit extra, please step into the Blue Zone!
