I'm flying PE on 747-4 Lady P (flight 45 LHR - JFK) in June. Anyone know what this plane is like ... ie, new PE seats? V:Port system?

Cheers,

Sam

Welcome to the site.

What makes you think you will be on G-VFAB?
Virgin don't release details of the plane being used on a particular route in advance.

If you want to know details of the Virgin fleet - have a look at thew V-Flyer aircraft database here.

Most of the planes going out of Heathrow have V-port - the only exceptions being some of the A330s.

G-VFAB is from the LHR fleet so will have v.port.

How do you know you'll be on G-VFAB? VS don't confirm the exact aircraft until the day of the flight for security reasons.

Just to add, all the LHR fleet have the newest PE seats on them.

Took a guess it was VFAB in that the 'manage my booking' area has config 4 when choosing seats.... and to my knowledge, VFAB is the only 747 with UC and EC in the bubble. Could be wrong though, so happy to stand corrected haha!

All the LHR 747s have the UC/Economy configuration in the bubble.
