I don't think a specific 330 will do all of the charters. All 3 LGW config 330's may operate the MON charters over the month as well as doing our own MCO runs on other days.

Yep, VYOU...wonder if we will see more of the 2 class 330's at LHR, their operation at LHR I think has been limited to about twice, once on the 657 I remember...

I flew the VS 9987 LGW - MCO on 6th oct and it was VKSS A333 2 class config. We had premium economy and it was cool. Great crew great service.

Looks like various aircraft are being used, flew back on Sat on the 9988 and it was G-VSXY same config as the 9987 we flew out on, again great crew great service.
Already looking at booking Virgin for next years trip.

Two class A333 will be operating out of Gatwick primarily and the 3 class A333 will be operating out of Heathrow, this is likely to change dependent on operational reasons but the two class is unlikely to be used at Heathrow unless essential.
