Hi All,
Can anyone please confirm what version 747 (seat configuration) from Glasgow to Orlando.
We will be flying premium, previously this was on the Airbus but I cannot find details of the Glasgow 747 version.
My preference would be 19a, c, d, e, f and g (4 adults 2 children) for a quick exit to customs.
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Iain

It's the LGW/MAN 747's which fly this route. Small PE cabin in the bubble and larger cabin downstairs.

GLA flights use the LGW fleet.
So you have a choice of upstairs or downstairs. Row 19 is indeed well placed for a fast getaway and offers guilt-free recline and the bonus of no-one jabbing at the IFE on the back of your seat.
But bear in mind 19F&G are pretty near the toilet and the back row gets served last so there's a real chance your first choice of meal may have run out.

Thanks for the replies.
Suppose it will be a trade off, quick getaway against no meal choice.
One fussy eater in the party so may have to compromise.
