We boarded first as we had the wheelchair, which we swapped for an aisle chair once at the gate. We also booked Economy X seats - the three rows immediately behind business class in the 737-800 Virgin Pacific aircraft. This gave an extra three inches leg room, which made all the difference for long legs (Neil) and transferring to aisle chair (Richie) to go to the bathroom. They let us use the business class toilet as it was right there, as opposed to the economy cabin ones which are right at the back of the aircraft. The Economy X cost us an extra $75 a person. Well worth it.

After six hours or so with only one toilet visit needed, we landed at Ngurah Rai airport in Kuta. As usual we waited until everyone else was off and they could get Richie down. No air bridge here, just a truck with a hydraulic platform. The rails were a little dodgy as I found out when I leaned on one! However we survived unscathed and got the last shuttle to the Arrivals area with the cabin crew.
