The LGW/MAN 747 Fleet are being upgraded between April and October, they will feature a new Upper class suite,mood lighting, 777 style interiors throughout and the new economy seat as featured on the A330. The 'JAM' IFE from the 330 will also be installed on all LGW/MAN 747, which although well overdue will mean the leisure routes will feature the latest VA product, leaving LHR behind until there updated.
Its true LGW fleet are well overdue the re-furb but as mentioned in an earlier post, these are leisure routes where passenger demand is very price sensitive, so it had to be put on hold until the Airline was in a financial position to invest the millions needed for the project, which thankfully is almost here. The fact competitors on these routes such as TCX have plans to take out seat back ife due to costs etc, this investment will once again put VA at the top of its game where it once was.
