Whats happening with the 330 order? (updated with pics)

Looks like someone posted a video on you tube of the new cabin, the mood lighting looks awesome.

Can't find any video for A330 cabin on youtube. ?|

Search in you tube for virgin atlantic then sort by upload date should be at the very top.

This video seems to be the source of the pulled pictures. Can't make out if the shot of the PE cabin is from the wcs end with crew seat in view or as some have said from what was going to be economy, and therefore not of the current plane.

Well - more news on Saturday - we hope.

Those pics were taken from before the cabin was reconfigured so they are not an accurate representation of the layout.

Search on You Tube for El Nuevo Airbus.

I see the chumps have but two loos in the middle of the Y cabin and then placed seats in between them, will they ever learn!

The one with the Spanish title is the video i'm referring to, if you click on the user who uploaded the video, they have a second video taken during landing.

Bueno, lo veo. Muchas gracias.

Well VIR75 has taken off and the radar does say it's an A333 at 5000' over Liverpool

So am I right in thinking that VS have launched a brand new plane, with brand new IFE system and they have not done any fancy PR drive??

Have I missed something?

It seems strange to me that for an airline with such a huge PR machine that spins out all sorts of things there has been no official photo release or indeed any information about the IFE etc.

Now that the aircraft is in the public domain so to speak, I wonder if any VS staffers will 'leak' the photos on their intranet?!

Too afraid that it might not fly???

That could have been a PR disaster....
It may now take some time to get the PR machine moving.

Of course there will be another excuse...

Well, VS just posted photos of their inaugural flight from MAN to MCO on Facebook today and that was about it!

Nice shots.

Is that Mademoiselle Rouge in the background of the Beauty Queen wing shot?

Nice pics, but doesn't look to be a huge amount of room in premium compared to economy.

Thought I might be able to get a few pics of her arriving into mco today, but not here yet. Boarding at 5.30 so still time.

Certainly looks like it.

If you are referring to seat width, the PE seating shouldn't be any different compared to the A340-300/600, which has the same cabin and seat width.

It's the seat pitch which is worrying - the photographs we have seen of PE do not give the same impression of legroom as seen elsewhere - can anyone confirm that A330 PE still has 38" of pitch?

What are the two seat pitches on this aircarft? is it the normal 31" and 38"?

The seat pitches are as per the rest of the fleet, 31" in Y and 38" in W.

Thats a pity. Not the PE but econ at 31" for thgose of us long leggeed people its just not enough. Thought they might take on a bit more leg room. ah well, never mind :#

You can always pay the £30 each way for extra legroom seats in economy?

If available, of course, but thats rather hit and miss isn't it? I understand cost per pax room vs overall cost of flight, but this could be another sedction at a higher cost but less than PE? especially on B & s flights with no UC and competeing with the charters? Just a thought...

yes is subject to availability but in many cases you can do this before departure via the contact centre. It will definitely be cheaper than PE.

I cant remember, but isnt extra leg room seats 32"? or am I completly wrong (as ususal LOL)
