Vs Man-mco

Hi

anyone know what type this is on? And is it VS themselves, or is this one of those Air Atlanta flights?

It's just that I'm thinking of going Premium for a quickie to my villa and was wondering if it's the same premium seats as on the LGW fleet.

cheers ;)

A/c is currently on a 747-200. It is operated by Air Atlanta, but is in full Virgin Livery and has the full Virgin W and Y class inside and has Odyssey IFE, which is the 2nd best that VS have. The only difference is that they have the older J seats that were out before J-2000.

The cabin crew are all VS too and some of the pilots IIRC, so you would never know Air Atlanta had anything to do with it, a/c even have a G- reg again now.

The a/c used to be owned and operated by VS themselves before being switched to Air Atlanta.

In May they are being replaced by 747-400 from the LGW fleet however the ife on those is actually worse than what is on the older 747-200 !!.

Hope that helps.

That's all pretty much along the lines of what I suspected, but it's just so good to have it confirmed.

One aircraft has already been replaced, so you have a 50:50 chance of an Air Atlanta 747-200 or one of VS's LGW 747-400
