A340 on MCO run?

Getting things set up for next year's trip to the land of mouse, and noted, under aircraft type, several GLA - MCO flights using the A340-300.

Now, having checked the seat layout, I can see about 34 UC seats, about 35 PE and 167 EC

So, my thoughts are either this is an error, and it will be the venerable old 747s or the new (and not my preferred) A330-300.

OR

It will be the A340-300 and the biggest request for freebie upgrades is going to start, as there is little chance of filling that many UC seats on the leisure route like GLA-MCO.

Thoughts?

Could just be testing the market - a leisure route does not precluse a lot of people wanting to fly in UC.

Though no one has said the most probable reason- VS IT fat finger syndrome strikes again !

I've noticed whenever doing dummy reward bookings to check G availability it tends to offer up the A340-300 whether a flight to LAX, SFO etc - clearly their pitiful IT systems at work!
