Hi,

Can anyone tell me which Virgin A346's are configured with config 2 as of this weekend ( and in service). There is G-VFIT and G-VWIN but have any of the older config 1's been reconfigured and put back into service yet? I though G-VEIL had but that's not the case according to the aircraft database.

Thanks for your help! :)

I know G-VEIL is now config 2 as I flew on her recently (although she does not have the new seats in Y or W yet)

I was also on GAS, FOX and MEG and these are all still config 1 A346's

Regards

Thanks, I didnt realise some aircraft were in the new config but with the old seats!

Neither did I until I got on board G-VEIL. It was a bit disapointing to be honest, as I was looking forward to trying the new seats.

Sure I read somewhere on here that the new seats wont be retro-fitted until July [:?]

Regards

G-VOGE is now in the new config although still has old style Y seats.

I recently flew outbound to MIA on Config 1 (G-VGOA) and inbound on Config 2 (G-VMEG)...Config 2 is definitely an improvement.
