V-Flyer

Just a quick question to keep me occupied whilst I wait to Apr 28 (T-60) ! so I can choose my seats. But I have read elsewhere that VA are 'retiring' the A340's does that mean the ORD route will be the 330 then? ?|

This summer ORD is scheduled to be
mostly on the 343s with some days on the 330

Thank you for the info.

Well T-60 has arrived and bang on 8am(midnight LA Time) I got our seats booked for the Outbound flight (3&4K) now just got to wait to book the return seats

Well done, on a 346 or 330?

343 first time on an airbus

Snap, got the same seats on that flight 14th June. Just a shame its a 343

In case you wondered, the 343 is one of the few planes on the fleet with Vera Reel, the very old looping in flight entertainment.

Two of the three remaining A343s have the old Vera Reel, the third has a newer and better on demand IFE. Unfortunately it's down to pot luck which one you'll get.

If you're on a Vera Reel plane, in UC they'll give you a tablet loaded with films.

Don't you have a 1/3 chance of getting one that does not? Plus, if you do, don't they still give out tablets to UC pax? Albeit, not the same as VeraOD, but better than Y.

Given the 225 miles I've got to drive when we land I'll probably sleep most of it anyway.
