Is this long term?
What is the retirement plan for the remaining A346s?

Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VEIL positioned London Gatwick – San Bernadino for storage today as VS827P.

Poor Queen of the Skies; she served so well!

Indeed! The A346 UCS Is my favourite, glad I will get the chance to fly on one this summer to SFO. Hope they have a few more years in them yet!

That's quite retarded. She was just one of just a few 346 that received updated livery. You'd have thought they'd have countered that in before retiring her. She'll always have a special place in my head, heart.

It was on that aircraft when I first flew UC. I was booked in PE, had managed to bag my fave PE seat (18A) when my ticket beeped at the gate and I was moved to 8A (still my fave seat in UC on the 346).. I was silver at the time.

My first ever 346 flight was on Veil to JFK.... sad times
