Hi guys,

First time poster here.

Im about to book a VS039 flight in September and the plane will apparently be the A330-300.

Can anyone tell me what UC is like on this aircraft please? I looked on the seat plans and could not even see the bar on this plane so wonder if it is a lesser UC experience?

It is a lot of money so want to make sure before I book.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Hello and welcome - your best place to read and discover people's views is to search the trip report forum for recent TRs on VS003/4 which has been operated by the A333 for a few months now. Happy hunting :D .

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I have read lots of those reports but think I am getting confused with the aircraft types! So the A330-300 is shortened to the A333?

Think I get it now!
Cheers

Yes, the aircraft are A330-343, so we shorten them to A333's sometimes.

To add a little more, Airbus produce two variants of the A330, the A330-200 and A330-300. The latter is longer and the former has greater range. VS has bought the A330-300 variant.
