vs65 10/2/19

Evening All,

Still pretty new to the world of miles / flight radar / upgrades ect ect so hoping some one can help.

Any idea if dreaded Tinkerbell will be flying vs65 this Sunday?

No idea - she's currently in / on her way to Montego Bay & due back into LGW tomorrow morning at 10am-ish. I'm on the VS73 MAN-MCO tomorrow and also don't want this aircraft - no AC power in Upper Class.

Thankfully, for me, the 10am arrival into LGW makes a positioning flight to MAN in time for the VS73 to commence extremely unlikely. (After you have allowed time for passengers & bags to be offloaded, the aircraft prepared & checked for even a short hop flight etc).

Been staying at the Radisson Manchester Airport for a few nights and will watch with interest which aircraft you get out of here tomorrow! Sure you will enjoy some warmer weather though?

VBIG was in Orlando when I arrived earlier (on the next stand to us) and it's currently operating the VS76 back to MAN. Given that (A) there is a VS75 tomorrow that needs a 747 to operate it & (B) the plane that arrives as the VS76 *normally* returns to Orlando as the VS75 if it's operating that day, means the OP is probably safe from VBIG.

Nothing is guaranteed though. The VS76 is due in slightly late in the morning at 08:22 (at the moment) and the VS65 has a scheduled 12:30 departure time from LGW - this is plenty of time to slip in a positioning flight to move it between bases if VS want to.
