Hi

Is there anyway of finding out which individual plane will be flying this route (VS45 LHR-JFK) on the 29th June??

Cheers

Welcome to the forum, Ben.

The What Aircraft tool (http://www.v-flyer.com/chance.asp), is showing a pretty wide range of options, but the good news is that on the Availability Tool it's scheduled as a 34S, which means it's a Suite-fitted A340-600.

Cheers Pix, what's the Availiability tool, is that accesible online or is it a Virgin thing??

The Availability Tool is a standalone PC application which lets you see the stuff travel agents can see with regards to flight schedules. It's available from;

Recently the VS45 has been operated by a UCS 744 as well

Ben when you ask how often the scheduling changes I assume you are asking how often the aircraft expected (or scheduled) to fly a particular route may change.

Whilst I am sure that given sufficient data you could do some number crunching and produce a set of stats they would mean little because aircraft are changed for all sorts of reasons all of the time, not only with VS but with all carriers.

There has been much discussion here and elsewhere on this matter, the best you can hope for is v.port and if flying UC, the suites (acknowledgeing some prefer J2000) and as the fleet is updated chances of one or both is increasing.

Good luck on your upcoming flight.
