Cabin Divider

Have VA installed a cabin divider on their newest B737's? Last time I flew on one ( Jan ) with the new seats the cabin divider wasn't fitted. VA have said they would put one in soon after the first trial of the new style seats and that was almost 2 years ago .

Sadly no. Even worse, the disease appears to spreading across the fleet. I was on an old 738 2 weeks ago and it had the new seats but alas no divider.

Three problems arise:

1. you don't feel 'special' sitting in row 2;

2. half of the plane uses the forward toilet (it's like being on qantas); and

3. getting a bit of space to get off becomes a problem as there is nowhere for the cabin crew to 'block'.

I know this is the epitome of a 'first world problem' but I miss it

Get it together Virgin!

@Ricardo you've hit the nail on the head right there. Esp point #2. It shouldn't take this long to get the new divider certified and installed.

Agree with all the previous comments , I was in row 1 on a Perth - Brisbane -Cairns on Sunday , first longer sector was great …had the original divider with the white rope and only business used front toilet , second sector on older 737 reconfigured with new business and it was a free for all with everyone using front toilet…cabin crew said they hate the lack of divider as they get so many complaints from business passengers and have to keep turning people away and sending to the back .

Totally agree... the reason many book business is to have a more private experience. Without the barrier and business-only bathroom, it feels more like an extra legroom seat rather than business class. Please bring the divider back VA!
