Hi there,

First post so apologies of this question has been on before,
Due to fly to Orlando VS027 11:15 6th April.

We seem to be unlucky with our flights out of Gatwick and wondered if you knew what the chances are of getting the new V Port system now?

thanks in advance

Steve

Is there a chance, yes there is, is it likely, nope, the LGW fleet is going in for a refit this year, but not by April 6th.

your chances currently stand at 31% according to the database which you can find in the toolbox section under which aircraft
probably more chance than of millwall getting into the play offs :)
all the best

Nice One!

To be honest as I go every game home and away I would rather have a plane with the V Port than us get to the Premiership this year, I would be bankrupt!

thanks for the response

That figure is slightly misleading, due to the fact a LHR a/c spent quite a lot of March doing one of the MCO flights. This certainly is not the norm, and it isn't planned for April.

I would prepare yourself for Odyseey or Nova IFE as that is almost certainly what you will get.

I'm ashamed of you!! Travelling on the 6th April Millwall play Leeds at home on 9th.
I am travelling on VS11 to Boston this Thursday (missing Hull City away) but needs must, but I will be back in plenty of time to get to The Den for the 9th.

by virginboy747 08 Mar 2011. VS 27 has been on a LHR a/c for a couple of weeks as there was an UC Fare sale which was very successful so they were able to fill the J config of 744 for a couple of weeks


Since week beg 7th March I've been following the VS27 LGW-MCO via the 'toolbox'. The VS27 has always been on the normal LGW 747 config 1, so it does seem that the LHR a/c was simply being used because of UC demand due to a sale fare as quoted above.

Shame you're not going a couple of weeks later as the VS 27 will be on the brand new A330 with touchscreen AVOD four days a week from beginning of may :)

Do bear in mind that there are more a/c operating the MCO flights without games (Nova IFE) than with (Odyseey IFE), so best to have some sort of back up.

Sorry to hear your IFE was naff. A long journey made even longer when things play up.
Hope you all had a fab holiday though. Having been to Orlando a few times,im sure you did!

Youre back just in time for our play off push!! y)

Correct, a win tomorrow and up at Scunthorpe Monday is a must (not looking forward to that trip)!

Orlando was magic, I will never tire of going to Florida.....

all the best
