Do you have a date in mind? It's showing an A333 for 9 October for example - but operationally things can quickly change.

sometimes my MMB has days when it doesnt show any config so keep checking.

According the which aircraft tool it is most likely to be an A330. G-VKSS or G-VSXY.

That is just historic data though. As mentioned above, MAN is changing to 2 x 747's from 1 x A330 & 1 x 747 from the winter season, so using historic data won't help the OP.

If the OP can let us have the dates, you will be able to try and new booking on the VS site and it should show the a/c config there.

B) apologies @sherwin.

As Neil and Slinky have asked if you provide the date then we can check for you.

Showing as an A330 but with UC available. So either a re- configured A330 or a 747.

Still no wiser really!

Since afaik there is only a330 in 3 cabin layout I suspect you will be on a 747.

SXY and KSS are being reconfigured to the 3 class config.

I am on this flight on 14th Sept. When I try another booking it is showing a 747, however, on my 'Manage my booking' it shows a 330 and to confuse things even more, the seat map is a 747.

I called FC and they confirmed a 747. If this is any different on the 14th I will let you know.
