UC airbus flights

I'm taking a trip next march to do LHR-LAX and then drive to vegas and return LAS-LHR.

We've booked our seats and going out is the Airbus A350-1000 so a nicer plane but coming home it's showing the 787 plane. Is there any chances this route may change to a new plane by time 2024 rolls around?

Also I am a little gutted its not the Neo plane as the UC seat on that plane looks 100 times better as a suite and a door which shuts properly :( need to try a neo but what routes do they mainly do?

Thanks in advance :D

I mean, anything could happen.

But I believe Vegas will remain a 789 route for some time yet. The plane suits that route well.

NEO is currently doing BOS, JFK, TPA. Maybe another? I wouldn't bank on trying to get a specific aircraft (especially the NEO) as VS do often change stuff around.

No and far from it

As for the NEO - I actively choose not to fly it unless VS change aircraft. Much prefer the 787 seats, comfort, bed, and bar all out weigh the clumsy plastic uncomfortable A350 (and I have flown both few times this year )

I must admit +1 for the OG Upper Seat on the 787/333 and the bars on both!

Tampa is the ONLY route on which (short of tech issues) you will get a 339, with MIA, BOS and JFK also getting on an less exclusive basis. I do believe there are some scheduled for ATL too!
