Manchester to Orlando May 2014 Plane Type

Hi all

Booked to fly to Orlando from Manchester on the 25th May returning on the 7th June.

I thought that the plane used was a A330 but on the website it says 747.

How accurate is this, Accepting things can always change at the last minute.

Cheers
Mark

I believe that all MCO flights will be 747's from next year.

That's a shame the config of the A330 suits us as a family of 5 better than the 747.

Oh we'll, thanks for the information.

A330 2-4-2 in economy, 2-3-2 in PE
747 3-4-3 in economy, 2-4-2 in PE

I don't think either is that great for a party of 5.

I guess for a 5, on the A330 you get a 2-3, with no 'random' person sitting next to you, which works well.

On the 747, it means a 1-4 more, or a 3 and 2 behind if the system allows, and a random person.

Reason for pointing out is my toddler turns 2 this year so next years flight (747 from Glasgow) we'll be a party of 5 and wasn't sure the best way to do it. Will probably go 3-aisle-2 in economy. Or adults in PE kids in EC. ;)
