Am I right in thinking that Diamond Girl and Miss England now cover all of the flights to Antigua, St Lucia and Barbados ?

When I was in Barbados last week for 10 days I think I saw one 747 fly in and that might have been from Manchester

I may be wrong but I think Gatwick to Barbados on Sundays is a 747.

Yes, those routes ex LGW are currently all being served the A333's ex LGW apart from the BGI Sunday flight which is still mainly a 747. The increased UC cabin works well on those flights.

The MAN BGI flights are still on the 747's as MAN has 2 x 747's operating from there all the time now.

I also found the turnaround time a lot quicker of the 333 in Barbados, obviously size matters but to turnaround the aircraft in two hours 15 minutes is no mean feat.

My outbound flight had only 147 people on board, so it makes much more sense to fly the 330's. The 747 has been valiant servant to Barbados over the years by Virgin, but one day the 787 I assume may take over
