Our Virgin America Tour: Seating Tips and More

For all you SeatGuru addicts, here's a good one: seat picks for a plane you can't even touch yet. Yesterday, we told you what to expect throughout the entire Virgin America cabin. Today, we'll tell you what specific economy seats you'll be fighting to the death for once VA launches.

Your exit rows on the A320 are rows 9 and 10. The window seats are A and F; aisle seats are C and D. But those aren't the only pimp rows on the plane. As you can see our red-eyed model demonstrating above, row 3 is the place to be. We can't make any promises about it being baby-free (as kids are often assigned to bulkhead seats), so it's up to you to pray. The IFE screens are as adjustable as any others on the plane (unusual for bulkhead rows), and you get a foot rest of sorts at the bottom of the divider. You also get a peek at the beautiful people in first class.

Another important thing to know about Virgin America is that they're not even done with Red, the on-demand IFE system, yet. As you've been told before, they'll eventually start accepting submissions from Linux game developers. Once VA...eventually...launches, they're not going to give up their IFE throne easily. We saw a lot of bits and pieces of new technology being developed for the already impressive system. Now we feel like Gizmodo covering the Apple iPhone launch: unhealthily obsessed and geeked to the gills. But we can't help it.
