Hello,
We are flying to Los Angeles in June on the vs0007, and from what I have heard they normally use a 747 for this flight, however I have been on manage my flights and its showing as a 340-600, I believe that is what it said. Is this correct??
Hope someone can help.
Kind regards
Ben

In my experience they use both the 744 and 346 on the VS007/8
I have only ever had a 346 on the VS023/24

If you check last years schedules (in the toolbox) it will give you an idea of the pattern of the allocation of planes to flights through the days of the week.

Thank you ever so much for your comments, I was looking forward to going on the 747 but I'm sure the other aircraft will be just as good

how did you find out about the 747 not returning till 17th June though

There are now only 3 a/c in the fleet that don't have on demand IFE. They are 3 of the 4 A343 a/c operating ex LHR, all other a/c either have VERA on demand or VERA touch IFE installed.
