Blue Zone Seating

Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue invite you to stretch out and relax in the 'Blue Zone', our extra roomy exit row seating with up to 25% more legroom!

For a small additional charge, you can now pre-reserve an extra roomy over-wing exit row seat (or row 1, seat A,B,C on select Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue Aircraft only). 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, stretch out and enjoy up to 25% more legroom.

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 31 inches, which is not to be sneezed at! But if you'd love a little bit extra, please, step into the ‘Blue Zone’…
