Could a fully laden VS 333 make it off the runway at BHX all the way to MCO

Im not too sure to be honest? How did TCX's A330 fare when it operated BHX-carribean on the day LGW closed due to snow?
If that got off the runway with enough fuel to make it non-stop, then Id imagine VS could do it.

Like you say, it depends on the VS business plan. MAN is the closest base as there are no MCO flights ex LHR, and Id imagine getting round to LGW is a pain.
On top of that, only 2 A330's are being configured for leisure routes. One of them will be at MAN daily whilst the other is split between LGW/GLA so I dont suppose theres much room for a BHX flight.
