LGW-MCO in Winter 2013-2014, which aircraft ?
All,
I'm flying LGW-MCO on VS27 on Jan 3rd 2014 and I was wondering if anyone would already know which type of aircraft will be flying this flight for the season.
When I do a dummy booking, it offers me UC so I assume it would be a 744 as I'm not sure that the LGW 333 will have been upgraded with UC by then.
Many thanks in advance !

doing a dummy booking gives me both the VS27 operating as an A747 and the VS15 as a 747
I guess that given that term starts the following Monday the return flights back to LGW will be chock-a-block with returning families even if the flights out are quiet.

I believe it will be a 747 as the 2 x A330's that will be based at LGW will be 3 class and operating the BGI/ANU/UVF routes.
The third based 330 goes back upto heathrow from winter.

Thanks ANStar, again it makes perfect sense ... I love the A330, flew on it on Eco and Upper Class, both brilliant ... But I really like the Upper Deck Eco on 744.
