hi

The title says it all really, we've just booked LGW-MCO for 25th November and the seat plan is an a330-300. these are new planes arent they?

looked online and cant find a single photo of the cabin!

we've booked premium, anyone flown in one or know where i can see photos of the PE cabin? mrs w is paranoid that its not going to be up to scratch as she was expecting the bubble and of course there isnt one.

thanks

Leighton

Unfortunately there are no public photos at the moment because the A330 hasnt been launched yet, the service starts on 2nd April so expect to see photos after then. I can assure you that the PE product will be much better than the bubble.

Hi Leighton!

The first commercial flights take place in April so we should expect pics soon!!

A few 'insiders' have seen the internal cabin and provided lots of positive feedback!

Look forward to hearing more, what do you know?

one of the CC i was chatting too last flight was raving about the 330 and especially the IFE. be interesting to see how good it is

Yep the pics look really good - sorry we cant share them yet. Trust me it will exceed your expectations

Where is G-VSXY at the moment? I thought it was handed over to VS a couple of weeks ago? Whats happening to it that involves it sitting around for over a month?!

I would guess crews are being trained on it at the moment (both flight deck and cabin crew)

I imaging further testing and crew - cabin/ground staff / maintenance - training.

Goodness ! VS underplaying something. Is this a permanant change?

G-VSXY and G-VKSS (which was delivered 4 days later) are in Zurich for cabin mods.

Yes, it marks a sea shift in VS marketing, they've never, ever, taken this tactic before.

Wonder how wondrous it will be ): .

They probably don't want anyone to realise that it's just the old arcadia system that they found in a box in the corner of the hangar with some fancy looking new screens or something haha

Really not like VS not to want to brag about something!

For some reason a lot of the GLA and LGW flights are now being changed to B747's so it may be worth checking up on the flight again as well, not explanation for this as yet

My LGW flight VS27 on 3rd June has just been changed from the A330 to a 747... gutted.. had to reselect seats in the bubble after being teased by the A330 seat plan a few weeks back... grrrr return flight is still the A330 at the moment... hope they don't change that too!

dissapointing as it maybe there is no guarentee that VS will run a particular plane type on a particular route on a particular date. All it promises is to get you from A to B

If it can sell seats on a bigger plane then it should - it is in the business of making money afterall !
