VS027 LGW-MCO Strange use of 747-400 config 3 (LHR)

Just booked seats online for the 19-Jun and the config shown was config 3 (so upper class on top deck and nose).

Seems a little strange (since which Aircraft on here shows only 1,2 and very occasionally 4) and I would have thought the vast majority of passengers on this flight would be families heading on holiday so less chance of traveling upper.

We booked the top deck (nose not available)

Any ideas why this would happen (and if I should worry).

One of the LHR config 747's is working ex LGW most of the time now. Now it isn't usually a config 3 a/c but maybe because the normal one is due for maintenance or one the LGW fleet is, then one of the other LHR a/c is helping out for a short while.

It certainly isn't anything to worry about, a/c do swap about quite often dependant on how busy things are/maintenance etc etc

June is just before the summer holidays so i would assume VS are planning this to be a quiet flight. at least with a LHR a/c yo have a good chance of the V-Port entertainment system with a better choice of films onboard.

great, thanks for clearing that up.
