I think it's the first A340 I've ever seen at Glasgow. Anyone know why it's here? Technical fault or are they do Orlando runs in May now?

TIA.

P.S. I will die from embarrassment if it was an A330. I did struggle to count 4 engines but I thought I saw the inner ones at the last moment. B)

Did I miss something? There's no picture. I don't have X-Ray eyes so I don't think the seating map will help me determine which aircraft it was. I'm not actually bothered, I want to know why it's here. Something exciting or something rather dull???

Sorry, it's an A330.
"Mademoiselle Rouge (G-VKSS) A330-343X"
Also no Upper Class on the seat map, little hint that is an A330 (only if you know there is no UC on the A330's though...)

If you look at the flight history, although the date seems to be wrong (saying tomorrow not today) it's gone from LGW-GLA.

I think it is flying the GLA-MCO route, well it did on 14th May.

I would guess that these are the relevant bits on that page:

Dates do seem a bit ahead of themselves tho'
