Virgin is now planning A330-300 aircraft on MAN-LAS from 24/7 to 01/9, with 3 weekly flights on Tue/Thu/Sun. Previously they were planning to use A340-600s over the same period.
For the rest of the season flights remain 2 weekly using 744.

Is this because the B747 is required at GLA or BFS for Orlando flights?
Perhaps the higher frequency to LAS is considered preferable to more overall capacity at that time of the year anyway. The A333 has 798 seats for the 3 flights weekly in each direction compared to the 910 seats in the LGW version of the B747 for 2 weekly flights.
According to seat guru, the A333 is 266 seats compared to 316 in the A346.
