They had use a 738 in place off and bussed some pax away from BHX and I think they used a 738 and 733 on one Malaga flight inbound.

I had known we were coming back on this leased 321 since booking day and was not looking forward it as these Smartwings planes had not had good press, tatty frames, unpunctual etc etc. The Reality, however, was much better than expected. Clean and tidy aircraft, not tatty interior at all with ELR seats in Row1 with much better fold out old tables than the dreadful plug in things on the new 737s. Flight was On Time (shock, horror) and the landing at BHX was a Greaser. Mrs S, the archetype white knuckler, actually enjoyed the flight.
So far, all next years flights are ex-EMA so all 737s, as we can't do stupid o'clock landings any more. Lol.
