Booked a G to CPT for Jan 14 in UC - and i notice in the history that the majority of flights are on a 340-300.
With the "new" 330's in the fleet, what do you reckon are the chances of getting a change to either a 600 or 330 are?
I know they sometimes sub the 340 - 300 for a 600 but are there any plans to do the route on anything other than a 340 - 300?

I have opted to return from JNB so i know that route is "almost" exclusively on a 340 - 600.
Any insight welcome........

LHR-CPT is 6012 miles

Maximum published ranges (actual results may vary!)
A330-3 6400nmi
A340-3 7400nmi
A340-6 7750nmi

It's certainly a bit tight for a A330!
