Lets talk about Tinkerbell

So, it looks like Tinkerbell (G-VBIG) is flying from gatwick to Vegas quite regularly at the moment. It is still in the LHR config which means no bar(!) and loads of extra UC seats. So I'm assuming as Im flying UC for the first time, if I get Tinkerbell then some of PE customers will get upgraded to UC seats (although I'd assume not the service).

I don't know why the is annoying me so much but I was really loping forward to the gatwick config UC cabin. Also I know the bar on this config isn't great but I still wanted to use it as part of the UC experience.

Currently the seat plan is still for gatwick config but I'm guessing this may just change at the last minute.

So anyway, I'd just thought I'd rant and see what peoples thoughts feelings are.

I thought BIG had been switched to the LGW config, just without the bar? I'm sure I remember reading that on here somewhere.

Correct. She's just been refitted - now LGW config but no bar. IIRC it was deemed too expensive to manufacture and install a new bar on a plane that'll probably be gone within 5 years.

ah ok, Im still sad there won't be a bar :( fingers crossed I won't get it!

Am surprised they didn't think about leaving it in Lhr spec and using it for the Barbados route or having something like a "club Orlando " section again

on flights to vegas do you think the bar would be big enough?
