With regard to Travel City Direct, I think I read that VS are selling this package with seats on the existing services.
The big question is what will VS do about the LGW fleet...I know the replacement of these hulls is on hold given the current financial situation, but it will come back into vogue in due course. I had assumed A380s or 748s as the main options, but what about 773ERs? Big cost improvements, and probably very little capacity loss...and maybe a good deal given 787 delays?
