Flying to Orlando nest month and have just checked my booking and the aircraft has been changed to the Neo. Managed to get seats 1 and 2 K. Couple of questions,

What's the chance of them changing it back to the a330-300 with only 30 days before check in

I understand the Upper class seats are staggered, I like looking out of the window, is it best to have a seat close to the window, ie even seat numbers or doesn't it make much difference ?

Thanks,

Steve

It could end up changing again but that’s great news - Neo is great.

Seats are staggered.
Inprefer even window seats as feels like more room and closer to window where odd number window seats are closer to aisle.
If travelling together, middle 2 seats are great.
If you can, splurge on the retreat suites if available.

Whilst the window seats are my preferences on the A339's do bear in mind those seats do have slightly less storage space as unlike the aisle seats, the window seats don't have that shoe storage area next to the seat.

It could change right up to 2 hours before departure.

Whilst that’s possible, it’s only if mechanical / operational issue. Normally from 2 weeks before flight it’s normally set (unless operational issues).

But also last year MCO did operate A339 on some days during end of summer/winter season. Plus; LHR & MAN rotate the aircraft in MCO.

Flight radar is very reliable/ showing the next upcoming 6/7 flights on the flight code including aircraft model.
I’ve even noticed in the past, flight radar having a flight down as A333, but Virgin still showing as A339 or A350 and Virgin updated it to A333 but few days late.
3-5 hours before departure, aircraft registration appears on flight radar.

VS91 13th and 14th both showing as neo's. Unfortunately not the 16th (yet - fingers crossed)

Like I said. It could happen.

Quick update, aircraft was the Neo, beautiful plane, Shame the crew didn’t live up to expectations, they were beyond awful!! trip report to follow when I get a minute. We were in the clubhouse for 5.45 am, fully open and the staff were brilliant as always

Yeah booked VS91 next august was originally on a35k now on a333 so not really happy about that
