V-Flyer

Hi I have flown LGW to Vegas in PE. The seats were old but sitting upstairs was very nice. I am now booked to go PE to LAX. Its a 747. Do they have the new seats or the same ones as the LGW routes? Also I cannot book upstairs. Is this normal?


thanks very much

The LHR 747's have the new purple leather PE seats on them. The PE cabin on these a/c is all downstairs. If you select LHR 747 config 4 in the seat map section it will show the seat plan for you.

I must say it is unusual for the VS007 to be operated by a 747, it is usually a A346.

Thanks,
Nel

Much prefer the A340-600 most of the PE seats don't have the view obstructed by the wing and the 2-3-2 config is much better for couples

The VS7/8 is being operated by a 744 for a few weeks this summer just like it used to be in the old days!

Seems that a 744 on the VS7/8 is a longer term fixture next year from what I can see, certainly from end March to June y)

Oooh. How can I find out which days ? We are flying out on the 23rd July and back on the 20th Aug - Still showing as A340-600 when I look at seat selection

The VS7/8 reverts back to being an 346 on 17 July.

The 2-4-2 config on the 744 is also great for couples!

wonder why they go to the 346 as soon as the school hols start, seems more capacity on the 747s

My bad thought it was 3-3-3

mmm I take it the air bus is better than the 747 then??? I hope it will have the V Port entertainemt as the nova system on the Gatwick Vegas flight is terrible....

I prefer the 747's, in terms of cabins they both offer exactly the same.

All LHR 747 and A346 a/c are fitted with V-Port.
