Flying from MAN-MCO in January, outbound VS75, return VS76. I've been told it's a 747, don't know if it's a refurbed one or not. Every seat plan I look at for this route seems to say something different

Hi - yes, it will be a LGW/MAN 747, all of which are refurbished, and have been for a while now.
The seat map is called LGW-1.

How new is new? Probably will be an A330 delivered to VS 2-3 years ago.
The route is currently served by G-VKSS and G-VSXY but they're going for a mini-refit in October to turn them into 3-class (currently 2) so in theory it could be any of the 10 A330s in service.

Hi - where did you get that info from?
MAN is going to 2 x daily 747's from next year and from what I can see all of January the 75/76 is operated by a 747.

Ah okay, for the past couple of years the VS75/76 has been on the A333 a/c, but that is changing from next year when it is reverting back to the 747. Obviously the site data is historical so that is what will have caused the confusion

It will be one of the LGW/MAN based aircraft.
The actual name/registration will not be made available until the day of your flight for security reasons.
