Dreamliner on ORD route?

I thought I'd read that the Chicago route would be served by the 787 from late April next year but my flight on 27 June is showing on the A343. Any ideas?

Do you mean a A333 as VS no longer have any A343's in their fleet now?

Just checked my booking and mine has changed to an A333 in May here :-(

The seat map was showing as a B789 when I booked it.

Yes, sorry, I meant the A333.

Very annoying! Wonder they've changed it :-(

The flights I've just taken to EWR and my upcoming flights to DXB in Feb were both showing as 789s at time of booking , maybe this is standard now until they firm up the schedules ?

Oh no! I've got the same. Was rather excited when the dreamliner showed up at the time of booking. Thankfully it looks like 5A and 6A are still good choices.

Looks like it will be another year of BA out of ORD. UC in the 333 is simply horrible. I have two flights booked out of Chicago in June and July 2016. If it is the 333, I will be switching to the BA 777.

Such a shame as was looking forward to my first trip on the 789. Do we know when they plan to remove the Dream Suite on the a333 and replace with the proper UCS?

Great question, xVSBAemployee. Anyone know the answer? I also hate the UCDS.

Yeah - it was announced a couple months ago that they plan to remove the UCDS and replace it with the 787 product. No timescales offered though.

My flight to MIA in May has just gone from being the A330 to the 787 Dreamliner - looks like a bit of a swap has happened!
