Apparently, at least 1 of their 767's is in the Middle East getting the interior refurb, and delivery is behind schedule.
That at least is what our Captain told us 3 weeks ago when I pitched up at MAN for a much anticipated holiday to Montego Bay, and found our 8 3/4 hour flight in the new "super-duper interior" B767 actually becoming a 12 hour hell via St Johns in a B757.
Hats off to the hosties tho - you could tell that they were p*ssed about the a/c, but kept up a smile as the toilets failed one by one etc. They certainly made the flight a little more tolerable.
Quite funny in St Johns, catering uplift for the second leg to Jamaica came out of the hold, and being as we weren't allowed off the a/c, everyone joined in passing the boxes along the cabin. Not so sure about the storage of gash in boxes in the overhead bins, but I suppose when needs must.
Hope this helps
