I believe the VS30 hasn't been operating recently, haven't VS merged it with the ANU flight for the outbound(VS35) and UVF (VS38) for the inbound for a certain period?

This would explain why the which a/c section isn't updating, as I believe it is linked to actual flight numbers.

Either way it will be one of the LGW based 744's.

Thans for that makes sense I presume it will operate on its own fairly soon with the summer holiday season kicking in.It was quite interesting the 29 & 30 always seem to get a LHR aircraft!!

VS35 is a A340 which doesent operate out of Gatwick and the and the VS38 is not operating!![:?]

Hi,
The 'which aircraft' does not seem to updating? Anyone know why?
It was great fun trying to work out which aircraft you would be getting. Next flight vs005 LHR-MIA 05/13/09.

VS 35/36 is a LGW 744 operating BGI/ANU on wednesdays and Fridays and the VS 37/38 is the the BGI/UVF which operates on tuedays and sundays. These services only operate when loads are low and the flights get combined, usually during the summer schedule.

A LHR 744 has been operating some LGW flights recently,but on an adhoc basis.

Hongkongandy your MIA is scheduled to be on a LHR 744

Any chance a LHR 747 might do the Montego Bay route on the 24th ?

I would love to get the decent PE and IFE that would bring. Of late it has been a Nova equipped frame, which will drive my Newly wed wife (going on Honeymoon) crazy as it won't have Tetris !!

Very doubtful as upper usually has spare seats on this route while economy and premium are usually full, so no need to put an a/c with more upper seats and less economy.
Did you mean 26th May, as the VS 65 doesn't go on 24th as it's a sunday? If it's 26th then it's showing 7 spare in J , 22 spare in W and 36 in Y. [:w]

Yes... I meant the 26th.

So its looking quite full then. What about the return on the 9th ?
