And that's another damn problem with this aircraft and this layout. Especially now it's going to be on the VS25/26 which would normally be an option for me. I really don't know what motivated the people who put this poor design into the A330.

Surely a major aspect of shorter East coast routes is that UC passengers can get some shut-eye having eaten in the lounge?

Am I right in thinking that there will be quite a big decrease in seats to MCO from LGW/MAN/GLA especially in Upper... Suprises me as always seems popular.

Will be?

There has been since April 2011 when the two A330 2 cabins were brought on line.

From what I read there will only be one 747 heading from the UK during the summer. Whilst in the winter almost excluisively 330's bar a few days of 747 from what VirginBoy747 said on the first page unless ive read it wrong? Certainly down from having one 330 from MAN and one from LGW. ?|

Wish they would change to 2 class A330's to 3 class. Using them for up to 3 uk to mco flights a day really cuts down on the upper availability.

Ba's (sometimes 2) 777's a day to mco out of lgw have 47 club world seats on them.

If only 2 of the 5 flights a day during the peak season are operated by the newly returned 747's that only gives 28 upper seats available compared to BA's possible 94

Not good for flyers wanting to experience virgins upper class service to Orlando v(

Such a shame as I have rarely been on a flight with less than 10 of the 14 seats filled.

Hope someone at HQ realises this and does something to rectify it before the high profit traffic desserts them for the dark side.

Whilst I may eventually have to learn to love the 330, I am hoping, from the bottom of my heart, that there continues to be a 744 service to JFK for the foreseeable future. Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but the A zone will always be my favourite flying experience with VS...

Couldn't agree more with these comments as a regular MCO flyer y) No chance of a Upper reward now!
