Time change

Hey

I wonder if anyone can help me here....

Overnight our return flight from Miami on the 6th November has changed to a 22:50 departure from 20:45.

We don’t mind the change of time, we have kids and now there is an even better chance they will all maximise the sleeping time after a busy few weeks in Orlando.

What I’m interested in is the aircraft. The outbound was changed some weeks ago to a 789 but inbound has always stayed A333 (which also is not an issue). I’m simply just wanting to have some guidance on aircraft movements to serve the later flight.

To me I can see VS does a circa 17:00 flight back from MIA which I believe would be the inbound aircraft (789) turned around to operate the return leg. What I can’t work out is what aircraft would operate the later return (our flight) as there are no obvious departures from Heathrow that would work - unless of course I am blind and not seeing something quite obvious.

Flights are VS5 22/10/19 and VS6 06/11/201@

Any guidance appreciated - just curiously really.

Thank you

Shane

VS do operate 2 flights a day to/from MIA seasonally. On the date you fly home, VS are running both flights.

There is also the VS117 which departs LHR at 10:10 which arrives MIA at 15:20 and the return VS118 departs MIA 17:25 arriving LHR 07:00 the following day.

Ahh ok understood so it’s likely then that VS117 would stay on longer after landing and then operate the newly time VS6 back to LHR.

Our flights VS5 out and VS6 back have no changed despite the time alteration
