Can I find out what plane will fly the VS009 tomorrow?

Just wondering if there's any way I can find out before getting aboard which plane (ie its name) will operate tomorrows VS009 LHR-JFK?
Does the craft from any particular route then go on to become that which operates the VS009, as if so I will have a look tomorrow to see which craft are on their way to LHR...

Thanks!

;)

Hi Nessy, for security reasons you won't know the actual aircraft until the day.

Have a great trip :)

you could have a look at the schedules in the tool box and try to work out a pattern ...

But let it be a surprise for your mojito sozzled brain as you wave to DL as she makes her way down the back !

Thanks, was hoping I could find out whilst in the CH what plane it was as I've only ever been on fairly 'elderly' (at least in my eyes) A340-600s on VS.

If I knew before getting on board I could use the toolbox on here to find out how old the plane was.....but it looks like that plan has gone out of the window. :D

Mmm, don't think I'm clever enough to work out which plane it's likely to be :o) , as for mojitos; I won't make any friends by publicly admitting this on here, but they truly are vile IMHO n( .
I had one during my last CH visit and whilst DL adores them I thought they were a concoction that must have been dreamt up by the devil..... :o)

It does look like it's scheduled to be an a340-600!

Tomorrow just look in the status updates page in the toolbox, that will be updated first with the info and usually a good few hours before the flight. Todays VS9 was operated by the Dubai flight, but it does vary.

I reckon it'll most likely be either....

G-VFIZ
G-VEIL
G-VWKD

All these aircraft will be operating return flights due into LHR tomorrow which quite often cross over with the VS009...

Cheers,

Matt

I have checked and there is not a pattern.
