Actually, it was a tech 757 and they flew a 738 (full economy pitch) back in it's place; 10 hour flight, 25 hours late. Trust me, it wasn't comfortable. We'd paid for sodding business class as well!
Diesel36: I appreciate your reasons for the headbanging but there's no smoke without fire, eh?
Don't know about the crew thing though: good bunch as usual.

No refund as yet mcfloss! I'm not the smallest person in the world either. At least my nippers crashed out through most of it.
It was a pretty crap gig for the crew as well: two longhaul, overnight, sectors in a Club Med special, interspersed with an attempt to kip while Florida's wide awake.

What problem? I think the only thing that is stuck was your PC!!
Turn around & off within an hour by all accounts.

Strange that flightstats is showing that one also as not left.
Looks like a failure of flightstats
SFB web site showing estimated arrival time of 16:05
Thanks
EDIT
Finally found it! they had four different versions of the flight
this is the correct one!

If you go into pre-book your seats you'll see the layout of the A/C and how many seats the A/C can hold.
You could also try calling Reservations - they will probably have more access to that kind of stuff.
