G-VMIK making her way to XMN now.

G-VLNM arrived back from MSP yesterday.

Was it refurbished though or just maintenance? I thought they were all being done in Xiamen?

It was refurbished according to VSSource

Refurbished or not, I'll still be avoiding the 332 where possible. Being MAN based, that is looking difficult next year. If I'm not mistaken they're to be deployed on the ATL, BOS, LAS and LAX routes from MAN in 2019.

I am returning ATL-MAN on Feb 16th which is currently scheduled as a 744. It looks to switch to a 332 on the 18th. I very much hope it stays that way.

The cabin 100% has mood lighting - and it makes a huge difference to the photos above. Feedback from pax has also been positive from what I have heard. A good workaround by VS given the 789 issues.

Any idea if the economy legroom has improved with the refits as it was smaller than the VS standard previously

LHR is definitely not immune, my flight to DXB in March has switched to a 332. Gutted!
Have they all been refurbed now?

Yes, all 4 A332's have now been refitted.

The A332's have op'ed a couple of LHR flights already since they arrived at VS, even before they where refitted.
