Upper Suite Roll Out

I am flying to Cape Town in November (VS603) and I'm debating upgrading to Upper Class but would like to know how likely it is that the new suite will have been rolled out by then - does anyone have information or a view on this?

Many thanks!!

By the end of summer All LHR 747 and A340-600 should have suites at the rate things are going I think you will be fine.

I know the A340-600 will be opeartion to CPT some days for the winter and the 340-300 on others

Declan, will VA know when the 343s are being used on the routings to CPT?

We are planning a trip there next year in UC and we would be a tad dissapointed if we got the 343s, especially being unsure when or if they get the UCS. I know that aircraft can chane last minute, an im prepared for that, but ideally we would like to book on flights that are planned to have either 346s or 747s, if i call VS with my booking, do you think they could help with that?

At the moment the A340-600 is planned for the following periods. As usual subject to operational and schedule changes!!!
