It's a good thing - they're the newest in the fleet. Newest AVOD entertainment system (JAM), and seating etc.

..unless you were flying Upper Class

i wish colmc......
i have special assistance but i little worried because i normally have a bulkhead window seat because of my condition......that should be fine if it stays the same A330-300 but if there is a plane change back to a 747 there is not going to be any bulkhead window seats...then i will be **$$ed...lol
just wondering if im better off booking prem econ then at least if they do a plane change i can still get my window bulkhead ???
why is nothing simple anymore hahahahah

My mother requires special assistance and travel with Virgin from Manchester a lot. I'm sure on their last flight it was on the new 330 and she said the space for those requiring assistance was excellent

My parents always call Virgin way ahead and advise them of their needs _ they are booking the whole holiday through them so that might help. Their only requirement is that, as my mother is in a wheelchair, that she is near the toilets and can get in and out. They are normally first on, last off and always travel in economy.
