The travel gods must be looking extremely kindly on me these days. :)

The last time I was due to fly on an A343 from EWR it was G-VSUN, albeit because SRB was on board. :w I've just gone into Status Updates to see which plane is flying the VS400 to bring me home tomorrow on VS401. It's G-VSUN!! y) y) y)

I must have been a very, very good girl! ): Or else SRB is aboard once more. :?

Mind you there's still four hours to go till G-VSUN takes to the skies. Fingers crossed :)

and those of you on here who don't like me, well for once please don't put a hex on me - pretty please, pretty, pretty please. :X :X

HL - you are extremely lucky, especially as it appears G-VSUN hasn't completed the DXB route at all in the last 3 months!

Perhaps SRB is in fact on his way there tonight! :D :D :D

Are you stalking SRB or is he stalking you??

Our glorious leader is in the Middle East at the moment so maybe Rainbow Lady is being sent for that?

Have a good flight and hope the DXB obstacle course does not prove a challenge ;)

Congrats HL! I got G-VSUN last year on the VS401 coming home, with both Daught and I op upped from PE to Upper. The flight was meant to be operated by a 346 though, hence the need to op up econ to PE and our subsequent bounce, Surprised they are running a 343 at this time of year - our (BA) flights this year in and out were pretty much 0 across the board.

G-VSUN is the only 343 with V-Port! Definitely makes the 343 a little more exciting! :D

What a great photo - thanks for the link.

HL - I personally think that VSUN was put on the DXB route tonight especially for you so have a G&T onboard tomorrow to celebrate! :D

I wasn't as for the longest time I was the only person with a seat selection in Upper - in fact I started to worry that they might pull the flight. It did pick up nearer the time but there were still empty spaces in Upper and the crowd at the gate didn't seem to be that big either.

It was the same of the outbound, albeit a 346. I was talking to a couple in the hotel who had been on the same flight as me in economy and they said it was empty so they were able to stretch out on the rows of seats
