Hi all,
I've noticed that Miss England (G-VWAG) has been doing her first commercial flight last night on VS300 ! Thought it would be nice to mention it here !

Will it be less amenity kits, and loo roll, because of cut backs, dont forget the blankets as well. ?|

How many 330's is that in service now and how many are left to come?

I believe if i remember looking at the Airbus order sheet yesterday they have 6 A330 on order and I think counting up its 4/5 now so another 1/2 to come

3 x 2 class in the fleet now, KSS, INE and SXY

4 x 3 class RAY, NYC WAG and GBR

To come are GEM LUV and 1 other, not sure whether they are 2 or 3 class, I recall at least one more is 2 class.

So that is why the 300 doesnt show up as operating on Status update, because WAG inst in the database yet???

UFO is the third I think?

I -VGEM and -VLUV are the 2x at China Airlines in the 2 class config.

So -VUFO is the only one outstanding from the order of 10.

UFO - I wonder how imanginative VS can be with her name??

Think it's miss stardust

G-VUFO is Miss Stardust indeed ! I haven't understood the post regarding VGEM and VLUV ... Are they gone to China Airlines instead ?

She is in the database. We has this issue when RAY joined the fleet but I can't remember exactly how it was resolved, think it was actually something to do with the data from the VS end.

I'll ask Pete to see if there is anything he ćan do from our end.

i think they are on a short term lease to China and due back to VA within about 6 months.

Thanks RLF, makes perfect sense ...

There is still VUFO on order and VLUV and VGEM to come from China Airlines. V-Flyer has not added G-VGEM (Diamond Girl) to the database, When will G-VLUV and G-VGEM return from their leases?

G-VGEM was delivered yesterday

Think GVUFO is up for delivery to VS week after next, going to ZRH first as usual. The 2 ex-China airlines coming back in the next few months....

One of the 2 ex China Airlines A330's, G-VGEM was delivered yesterday,but it won't enter service for quite some time as it needs to be repainted at Manchester and then it will possibly be reconfigured at Zurich into a three class layout and then will be based at London Heathrow

I travelled on "Miss England" from IAD last night and I see she isn't appearing in the status updates as yet.....she was in very good shape (as you would expect!!) but wondered Pete if you have a fix for this as yet.... oo)

Psst.....think I might be changing my views on the A330....TRs to follow this week ):

What cabin were you (interested in your changing views ... I was on VWAG last week from IAD too)?

We are aware of the issue and Pete is looking it to it, but it's a bit of a strange one.

I was in J and the daytime flight out with the seat reclined (not flat) and I was comfortable all was fine. The return was somewhat different I have to admit....I wasn't as comfortable with the seat flat.... ][|)
