Hi all

Booked to fly to Orlando from Manchester on the 25th May returning on the 7th June.

I thought that the plane used was a A330 but on the website it says 747.

How accurate is this, Accepting things can always change at the last minute.

Cheers
Mark

Yep, that is correct, all flights from MAN to MCO will be on a 747 next year,

A330 2-4-2 in economy, 2-3-2 in PE
747 3-4-3 in economy, 2-4-2 in PE

I don't think either is that great for a party of 5.

I guess for a 5, on the A330 you get a 2-3, with no 'random' person sitting next to you, which works well.

On the 747, it means a 1-4 more, or a 3 and 2 behind if the system allows, and a random person.

Reason for pointing out is my toddler turns 2 this year so next years flight (747 from Glasgow) we'll be a party of 5 and wasn't sure the best way to do it. Will probably go 3-aisle-2 in economy. Or adults in PE kids in EC. ;)
