V-Flyer

Am due to fly to BGI next month. Have noticed to my great disappointment that Lady Penelope is being used on the VS29 & VS30 flights recently. I am no expert but as far as I can see this is a Heathrow plane and not one of the refurbished LGW ones??
I am assuming it is being used because there are more UC seats for the flights to Barbados at this peak time.
Does any one out there know if this is due to change when we get in to April/Low season?
On my last trip from BGI - LGW I was unfortunate enough to be perhaps one of the last people to fly on VTOP !
I was so hoping to get on one of the refurbished planes!

The LHR 744 is just being used this month
Next month the BGI is on an LGW 744 before it goes in to an A330 for the rest of the summer season at the beginning of may
So you will have a refurbed aircraft with touch screen IFE

Haha, I did wonder how long it would take for the roles to be reversed between LHR and LGW as to which is fleet is the least desirable!

Hurrah! Thanks for the info. I have booked seat 79C economy up in the bubble!

I know, it's a nice feeling for us regular MAN/LGW flyers

No problem with Lady-Penelope still a great aircraft
