Aircraft and Route Allocation

[BOAC]

Please restrict this thread to queries on aircraft allocation to a specific route

[Dyls]

On March the first I am flying from MAN to MCO with Virgin Atlantic (Flight VS075) in economy class

I was wondering if anyone knows what Aircraft they use for this route and also what entertainment system will be available.

I have looked for this info On Virgins website with no joy. all i can find is that Certain Entertainment systems are only available on certain routes.

Thankyou
Dyls

[TSR2]

Aircraft should be a B747-400 with individual seat back entertainment system.

[Dyls]

do they have the games and the video on demand system?

[TSR2]

Yes, I'm pretty sure they do.

[BOAC]

A little 'teething trouble' with the combining of threads has necessitated a few moves and deletions on this thread to sort it out. Hopefully we are sorted now!

[vapilot2004]

Anyone by any chance knows what equipment operates VS026 today?
Was just listening in to the JFK tower ATC feed earlier on and heard it cleared for take-off 31L CRI climb.
Pure curiousity question for those who wondered.

P.S. I would assume being an LHR flight it would have to be an A346? Found no confirmation though...

wrong assumption :ooh:

That flight would have been an A346. :ok:

[ZFT]

I know this has been asked before but I can’t find the thread. How do I find out which particular A321 aircraft operated US1495 22 November 2006 CLT-LAX?

Thanks

[yellowdog]

ZFT,

I can only find the LGW-CLT part of the flight which as US1495 was operated by N272AY, an A330.

Tried the usual sites but still only giving that aircraft. Does anyone know if the CLT-LAX part uses a different callsign?

YD

[ZFT]

yellowdog,

Interesting as US1495 sector I was on from CLT-LAX was definitely an A321.

Out of interest, what are ‘these usual sites’ you refer to?

[yellowdog]

ZFT,

There are two sites I use,

http://www.acarsd.org/acars_search.html

and

http://www.antonakis.co.uk/acars.php?page=request

both should be fairly self explanatory.

YD

[ZFT]

Thanks for that.

[c152pilot]

hi

does anybody know where i could find a list of the routes that the a319/20/21 fly out of LHR to. If there isn't one, would somebody mind making a quick list :ok:

thanks

[oojamaflip]

Aberdeen, Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Belgrade, Paris CDG, Copenhagen, Moscow, Dusseldorf, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Geneva, Hamburg, Helsinki, Istanbul, Kiev, Leningrad, Gatwick, Milan Lin, Milan MXp, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, Newcastle, Oslo, Bucharest, Prague, Sofia, Stuttgart, Tripoli, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich.

That's your lot!

[WHBM]

Every single BA Domestic and European destination out of Heathrow gets an Airbus, even the likes of Larnaca or Moscow (mostly B767s) see them from time to time.

[wingattack]

Just heard that bmi are to wet-lease the 3rd 330 to Air India as from 15th December. Doesn't say which route it's on yet but they are looking for crews to spend Christmas and New Year somewhere in India! Guess they'll send the white one out there as that could be re-logoed most easily. Is this the return of the Instant Airline of long ago (707 s in the eighties)??

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Which one is the all white one?
I know it is not going to be the one on repair that is going, so they will be very short on longhaul capacity for a week or two.:ok:

[wingattack]

BM, the one being repaired will be ready by then. I imagine they'll put it on the Chicago or Vegas/Carribbean route and then put the Star Alliance one on the Air India contract. It'll be much easier to peel off the stickers from G-WWBD and put on some from AI.
http://www1.airliners.net/open.file/1136818/L/
So, as long as the repairs are complete, we'll be up on capacity by a third. 3x330 s and 1x767.

[Silent Aviator]

I will be flying out of Manchester to Mombassa via Gatwick with air tours early next year; does anyone know what type of cattle truck it is? or indeed what the service is like?

[cjd_a320]

Hi all,

I'm off to Barbados on The 7th of December with First Choice, Flight number FCA016 departing Man @13:55.

Just wondering if anyone knew which of the 767's is on due to operate that route on Thrusday??

Many thanks..

[Gulf4uk]

hi

keep checking this site SKYLINER Lease details and deliverys on it

http://www.skyliner-aviation.de/regdb.main?LC=nav4&SkyID=bafa2bfe2f7d5392153653532c3f97a9

[cjd_a320]

Thanks Gulf4uk..

I was just wondering which A/C out of the fleet of G-OOAN, G-OOBK, G-OOBL, G-OOBM, G-DBLA OR G-PJLO is penciled in to the MAN BGI route on Thrusday?

Maybe its more of an Ops question ??

Cheers

[Bagmanlgw]

Silent Aviator

The " cattle truck " you ask for at the momment has been a B767-300 since the start of November so would expect that to continue for the reamaining winter schedule

[smile high]

g-bm will be back in service from 15 december and operating damp lease for air india

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Are you sure it's "BM", l understood that it was not going to be "BM".
I think l heard it was going to be "BD", but l stand to be corrected.:ok:

[jedigtr]

Are you sure it's "BM", l understood that it was not going to be "BM".

You are correct, it is "BD" doing the charter work out of LHR:)

[simfly]

Does anyone out there know what equipment is used on the weekly winter charter flight on Saturdays between Edinburgh & Chambery? It uses a BA flight number...

[GoEDI]

It's an RJ100.

[partyboy_uk]

Can anyone tell me what aircraft My Travel will use this Friday 12/01/2007 to Salvador? The MYT staff said that they keep alternating the aircraft between the A332's and the B763's. Every picture I've seen so far during the summer with MYT to SSA has been an A332 but a friend went a couple of weeks ago and by her description it sounded like it was a 763 as their were no PTV's in premium.

I soooo hope it's an A332 if not for the sake of having the PTV's then for a nicer and newer aircraft. I believe the 763's also have the external viewing camera though which is quite neat.

Does anyone also know if the 767's have been refurbed at any time in the recent past. Any good comments to make about it? All I've heard reported so far is pretty much to do with cramped seats and old aircraft.

[BAe 146-100]

Well its down as a 763 so I would expect that on Friday.

146

[shortm]

Sorry for the rather random looking title, but was wondering if anyone knows what aircraft type will be operating the TOM5691 on 27 Jan ?

Our travel agent has assured my husband that it is definitely a Boeing 737-200 which has just confirmed my opinion that travel agents very often have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

I've looked all over the Thomson website and can't find anywhere what aircraft type it is.

Thanks in advance

[chiglet]

Probably a B767-200/300
watp,iktch

[AlphaWhiskyRomeo]

Anyone know who is operating the Beech King 200s that seem to be flying around UK regional airports recently.

They operate with a "GPO..." flight number but don't have any regs.

Does GPO mean it is for Royal Mail???

[mmeteesside]

That would be our very own Northern Aviation based at MME! They operate 2 Beech 200's, G-ONAL which uses the GPO "Goosepool" callsign and G-TAGH which I think may be on loan to them therefore not using GPO.

Thanks - it must be a new callsign as they used to fly under reg I believe.

2 aircraft flew into MAN today, only a few minutes between them, and both were using a GPO flight number, but they were different a/c.

[firstforfirstchoice]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what aircraft type TOM and how many they are basing at BHX this Summer??
As I know we normally get a B762 for all or part of the Summer season (peak times), but as two have left just wondered if we would see an aircraft change, e.g. 2 x B757-200's and 1 B767-300.

Anyone any ideas??

Cheers. :ok: :ok:

[caaardiff]

Are TOM taking delivery of a new 738. Reg G-FDZA
Is this the only one in the fleet that will have Winglets?
Expected to be delivered to GLA tomorrow morning.

Also is G-THOO in service yet?

[cwl747]

Also is G-THOO in service yet?

GTHOOBoeing B733 33V29335 / 3094 HALKTDue 23 Jan 07

Of http://www.jethros.i12.com/fleets/fleet_listings/thomsonfly.htm hope it was of some help:ok:

P.S where is G-THOO going to be based???????

[ric180880]

I think COV initially, then it depends on the planning and requirements, but they need to replace the 735 OA which has been WFU and was COV based. OB will leave next and be replaced by another 733.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

caaardiff, it is one of three and they will not be 804s but 8K5s models, with winglets.:ok:

[scruggs]

http://www.seattle-deliveries.com/ac/G-XXXX-040107-BFI-RICK-BIG1.jpg

This is the only pic I could find.

[GBALU53]

In reply to where G-THOO is to be based

The aircraft was delivered from Shannon to Coventry some time today the aircraft could be Coventry as it,s base for now.

This could mean the departure of a B737 500 to greener pastures.

[AlphaWhiskyRomeo]

I noticed a flight plan for an LH A319 from Gander to Liverpool on Saturday, arriving early afternoon. Any idea what this was as I couldn't see a flight out to anywhere.

Considering the Low Vis conditions affecting the North West, might the above aircraft have diverted to MAN and become the Privatair A319 aircraft which flew to DUS?

Even so, what's the deal?

[Curious Pax]

For some reason the regular Lufthansa all-business flight from the US to Dusseldorf (not sure if it was the ORD or EWR flight) was planned to stop en route for a crew change in LPL. Due to weather there it did indeed divert to MAN. The flight is operated by Privatair on Lufthansa's behalf with a 319, in this case D-APAC.

[AlphaWhiskyRomeo]

Thought it might be something like that.

But it still confuses me that it flew from Gander, rather than ORD or EWR and that it uses LPL rather than MAN, a regular LH diversion/tech stop airport as well as LH serving it.

Maybe they had a particularly high payload or strong winds en route? Or maybe a tech or medical issue forced a stop at Gander?

[Ringwayman]

Does Privatair have an aircraft at Chester over the weekend? If they do, presumably the crew will be at an hotel nearby and therefore it might be quicker for them to position to Liverpool rather than Manchester, with the transatlantic crew doing whatever duties the Chester aircraft has planned?

[Wodrick]

B767-300 at present

[Spotter McS]

Anyone any idea why the VS027 to MCO was cancelled today?

Cheers

[exmax]

Hi,

I saw an MYT A330 parked up in SYD last week, were they doing flights like Britannia used to do back in the day. Austravel used to use Britannia to do flights to NZ via AUH/SIN, I was just wondering if it was a similar thing?

Thanks.

[SeamusCVT]

I think this stop is part of their around the world holiday. 30 days or so, with 11 stop offs. It looked absolutely amazing, and if they do it again, would be well worth an investment...once in a lifetime trip by all accounts.

[Wodrick]

Indeed, should depart today for BKI

[c152pilot]

Does anyone know the flight TCX334K/L MAN-RHO-MAN is departing at 20:00 on Wed's during the summer.
Is it a 752 or 753 ?

[BYALPHAINDIA]

It will probably be the 753, It flew some flights to RHO last summer.

There are only 2 753's, So anything can happen??

Flight check's May issue will show all the regular Summer I.T flights, Available at the Airport for £2.

Regards.:ok:

[boygeorgefan]

Got told it was a 752, anyway i cant get hold of flightcheck magazines.

How come our beloved PM flew to Libya with their new airline? Didn't BA have any spare a/c?

[despegue]

This forum is NOT a UK-only forum my friend.
Your Prime Minister is certainly not mine...

[Saintsman]

Mr Bliar probably got it for free.....

[Firestorm]

And whilst he might be my Prime Minister, or the Prime Minister of my beloved country, he himself is not beloved to me :mad:

[brakedwell]

>> Mr Bliar probably got it for free..... <<
I hope so, he has wasted more than enough of the poor soddin' taxpayers' dosh already! :ugh:

[Mick Stability]

I may be a British citizen, but I do not wish to claim any sort of ownership of that man or his tawdry revolution.

I want my country back.:ugh:

[The Controlller]

The footage of PM arriving was library film, he travelled on BA:rolleyes:

[EI-BED]

Tony Blair flew from Heathrow to Tripoli on his usual chartered BA 777, he will be using the 777 for his five day tour of Africa. However on arrival in Tripoli he flew courtesy of the Libyan government from Tripoli to Sirte, which is close on 280 miles east of Tripoli for the meeting with Colonel Gaddafi, the BA 777 is not approved for operations into Sirte Airport.

[crewmeal]

despegue and others - I speak with tongue in cheek!! - EI-BED - thanks for the answer - shame you have to plough through all the sarcastic remarks though!!!

[owenkirk2005]

Hi, just a request to ask does anybody know where EI-DCL is currently based? im flying EMA-DUB-STN-DUB-EMA on the 26th and hoping of getting on the dreamliner scheme if poss. thanks

[FlyZB]

Hey everyone. I've never posted on this particular thread before so not sure if this inquiry is where it should be.

But nevermind, here goes! The title is pretty self explanitory. Is there any way, any internet programs or anything, of finding out which aircraft from a certain airline are currently based at each of their base airports.

For example, I want to find out where each of the bmibaby 733's are based right now. There is a specific reason for this but I won't bore you by going into it. I know that G-TOYA and G-BYZJ are currently based at MAN but only through looking at the airports AMOSS system. And airlines tend to change the based aircraft around on a regular basis.

So, is there any way I can find out where the other WW 733's are based right now and also find out which 733's will be at MAN in a few weeks time, assuming they change over regularly.

This request isn't specifically for bmibaby, just an example. Any input would be greatful.

[stansted_dan]

Hi there,

This is purely out of interest, and just something that I was thinking about. Does anyone have any idea how Ryanair base their aircraft, and rotate them?

eg. Do aircraft arrive from Boeing to a particular base, and remain there until heavy maintenance or something then get swapped around a bit?

Also, do Ryanair fly any W-patterns?

eg. Does each aircraft simply fly to/from its base ie. STN-DUB-STN-PIK-STN...... all day, or could it be more like STN-DUB-PIK-DUB-STN....?

Any replies would be appreciated!

[brs planespotter]

we have a fr 738 doing a "w" pattern,stn(that needs too be confirmed").stn-gro-re-gro-brs. hope that helps a little stansted dan

[Paul4040]

Due to fly BMI Regional from Durham Tees valley to LHR next month. Are these now being operated by ERJ aircraft for definite? Or are there still some Airbuses?

[J-Man]

Anyone any idea what the aircraft type will be down to operate during october on tuesday mornings as TOM3171 MAN-ALC departing 0750?
The flight schedule book for august says a 763, but im guessing it could be opping on a 752 as it gets to the end of summer? I actually do hope its the 763, not flew on one of them short haul for nearly 10 years.

Any info or help appreciated. :ok:

[pp763]

Can anyone tell me what type of aircraft will be doing that sector on sunday and the GCI-MAN on monday (26/27th)

Many thanks.

Hello all, I am flying to YYZ on 15Sep, O/B MYT092 ex LGW 1500
can anyone help me with where the flight comes from before
doing my flight YYY-LGW-YYZ, many thanks

[vile8er]

YYY is the airport code for Mont-Joli Airport which I think is Quebec.

[DONTTELLTHEPAX]

sorry I did not make it clear I dont know where the aircraft is coming from to fly us to Toronto, YYY is the the letter code we use at work for an unknown airport, sorry for the confusion but its not Mont-joli the YYY was just to let people know I had no idea what so ever where it was due from

[Up up and away]

Morning all,

I am interested to find out if there is a website where I can find out the route I will be taking on my forthcoming holiday.

We are flying from Manchester to Kos and out of interest I would like to see which countries we will be flying over.

Thanks

:)

[TopBunk]

Up

There is not a fixed route, but probably several from which a company will choose on the day which is the best.

The routing will primarily vary as a function of the winds at cruise level, and possibly overflight charges which vary by country.

The best I can suggest is to get yourself a globe and some string. Linking the 2 places will give you the shortest distance between the points and give you some ideas of countries to be overflown.

[StainesFS]

Judging by your stated departure time, I think that you mean flight MYT095. The aircraft for this flight yesterday had previously done the Gatwick - Orlando Sanford - Gatwick return route on flight numbers MYT051 and MYT052.

Have a good trip. :ok:

[StainesFS]

Whilst I have to agree with TopBunk, some routes seem to be used more often than others. There is no guarantee that the undermentioned route will be flown but it is one of the shorter ones if all other conditions are favourable.

North of Manchester, direct to the north Norfolk coast and straight on to close to Amsterdam. Continue course to around Arnhem/Nijmegan then turn slightly south and direct to Munich. Turn direct to Ljubljana with a final turn around Salonika.

No guarantees of course.

Have a good flight. :ok:

[Spotter LBA]

I have been trying to identify what type of aircraft will be operating flight MON5620 from Manchester to Dalaman summer 2008 but have been unsuccesful so far.

Can anyone help please?

[Flygulfair]

Hi,
i have a couple of questions i would Love to ask about Gulf air.

1) Is it True it is planning on making fight to manchester and other European routes (Source Wiki:confused:)

2) Do you think GF will order Extra Aircraft Etc. :rolleyes:

3) And what do you think its future will be, Will it Go Bankrupt :yuk: or will it survive:D.

I just LOVE Gf and would love any answers :}

[MAN Guy]

Not sure about MAN as a new GF destination, they used to ply the route with a 767 a couple of times per week as a tag-on from MUC and CDG back in the 1990's I believe, but it was never their preferred route as it was from AUH instead of BAH due to the restrictive bi-laterals at the time (I stand to be corrected here?)

At MAN these days you have Etihad daily on AUH alongside Emirates 2x daily (possible 3rd in the pipeline?) to DXB and Qatar daily to DOH so things do look a little crowded for a new carrier to the Gulf states. Although it would be great to see GF metal on the ground at MAN again :)

[FormerFlyer]

Flying BA (ok GB Airways) on Sunday 7th Oct @ 0555 - is it gonna be an A320 or 321? Any ideas?

cheers ;)
FF

[StainesFS]

Can't say for next Sunday, but the corresponding flight this morning was an A320. Later flights this morning to AGP have been by A321.

Have a good flight.:)

[TSR2]

MON5620 to Dalaman has been operated this summer with a B767-300. I think the only way to find out if it will be the same next year is to give them a call on 0870 458 2861.

[deltamike02]

Due to fly EDI-PMI with Flyglobespan later this week. I see the aircraft currently serving this route is a 737-300.

Given that it is likely to be a single class layout, does anyone know which row near the engines does not have a window. Don't much fancy being stuck without a window.:bored:

Cheers:ok:

DM

[Spotter LBA]

Many thanks for your help, have since found out it could well be either the 763 or A330.

[GoEDI]

Anyone know what aircraft XL are operating from MAN to Hurghada on Fridays this winter season? Would be much appreciated.

[Invicta DC4]

Looking for help: can anyone in the know tell me which weekday flights between BHX - EDI and BHX - GLA are operated by the 145/195?

Thanks

[groundhogbhx]

195 to either, early or late depending on if it works!
145 to either any time of day, depends on booked loads, crews, serviceability etc.

There isn't any set pattern and it can and does change during the day. If you are looking to fly on a specific type those are the routes that are probably the least predictable.

[noseyparker]

I apologise if I am posting in the wrong place but I wanted to know if the Singapore plane with the registration(?) 9V-SVJ that left MAN about 10.17 today (1st Nov 2007) was SQ327 to Singapore. I appreciate that I am probably asking a completely daft question but there you go. How else will I learn anything? Please be kind if you reply!

[noseyparker]

It was supposed to push back at 10.00(which it did) and the airline told me it would take off at 10.26 but then at 10.20, after I'd seen it go, they said it would take off very soon. I decided that the person was confused and that I had just watched my brother's plane as he started his one-way trip to a new life in enZed...but I just wanted another person to say it was and there wasn't another sneaky Singapore Airlines plane just waiting around the corner until I'd run off sobbing towards the M56(OK, that last bit was just for dramatic effect)

Thank you!

ps the only other plane I've watched leave from here was the Antonov 225 last year...almost to the day...OK a month back...and even I could tell which one that was!

[StainesFS]

Yes, 9V-SVJ was the aeroplane (Boeing 777) serving the Manchester to Changi, Singapore flight but you may have made a typo as the flight number was SQ327.

The good news is that, as you may have heard by now, it arrived safely a short while ago.

SFS

[noseyparker]

Yes, typo! Been looking at Singapore arrivals and distracting myself on the net. Thanks for the help, its been a bit of a day...

[MrSoft]

Nosey, some people are born lucky. I took my little boy to his first cricket match, very first ball the guy tonks it for 6 and it drops at our feet.

Similarly, you should know that not all random visits to the mound result in seeing an An-225 :D Or did you have a plan?

Now that was a surprising sight, as it floated over my garden that day, apparently motionless.

[noseyparker]

I knew it was flying out that day as my partner was on it - going to Nigeria to build a stage...never have I been so jealous of anyone...

[vancouv]

Bit of a strange question this.......I went on a school trip to Jersey. At the time I was not interested in flying, so didn't take any notice of the type of plane I was on. Having now got my PPL and being very interested in flying, I'm curious as to what type of plane it might have been, as it was my very first flight.

So, it was from Gatwick to Jersey, 1972 - obviously I don't expect a definitive answer, but just some suggestions as to likely types for that route at that time.

[Mad (Flt) Scientist]

Do you remember if it was a chartered flight (just the school, perhaps) or a normal flight? Might help cut down the options.

[rogerg]

BCal used to fly BAC 1-11s to Jersey then. Wot fun!!.

[vancouv]

I don't think there would have been enough of us for a charter, so most likely a schedule.

I do remember that Jersey was fogged in and we had to divert to Southampton - after a couple of hours on the ground we set off again - so 2 flights for the price of one!! To this day that's the only time I've been diverted.

Go First Choice, not Last Resort :p

More leg room than all the transatlantic scheduled carriers ex MAN and affordable upgrades.

No brainer, personally, unless it's for spotting and you really want to stop en-route, claim bags, clear immigration, re-check bags blah blah blah

Does anybody know what an A320 of Air france is doing here????

[TopBunk]

Could be a fake - looks far too high for that approach - judging by some others I've seen:8

[CentreFix25]

Since November 2007, Air France has been operating a second Airbus A320 on its local Caribbean network. From now on, these two Airbus A320s will operate the 13 daily flights on the Caribbean network. This consolidated and enhanced network now offers new frequencies and destinations such as Santo Domingo, Saint Martin and Paramaribo, Source (http://corporate.airfrance.com/en/news/and-also/etaussi-detail/index.html?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=1335&cHash=e810d49f8c).

Legitimate, it would seem.

Hi all,

This might sound daft to some...but bare with me!!

Is there a website or somewhere, where you can find out what aircraft is booked on to doing a certain route lets say in a couple of weeks time??

For example....Could I find out...lets say...What Monarch aircraft, the registration will be operating a the flight to Malaga from Manchester for Feb 15th 2008??

Cheers in advance for any advice/guidance.

:)

15Feb MAN-AGP

ZB654 = A321
ZB662 = A321

A lot of the time when U book a flight it gives U an option to pre-book a seat, U will know what aircraft it is by the seat plan.

Don't some airports publish advanced timetables of scheduled flights in spotter kind of magazines that details flight numbers, aircraft types and maybe expected a/c???

[Avman]

Obtaining advance information of which particular a/c registration will operate a given flight is more difficult.

A/c are rotated and though a basic plan might be drawn by ops (but only several days before I think) it is always subject to change at short notice for a variety of reasons (such as: tech problems / delays / loads / commercial).

Hi all,

Dep LGW- 1500- ZB252

Many thanks if anyone can help.

Hi, Does anyone know of a resource (printed or online) that replaces the now defunct Flight Routings book (see here (http://www.transportdiversions.com/publicationshow.asp?pubid=5673)), which allows the decoding of flight callsigns including the ever increasing number of alphanumeric callsigns into the corresponding published flight number, airports of origin and destination, types, days of operation and so on?

Thanks in advance

Graeme

Can anyone tell me which aircraft FCA is operating LGW-MLE for the summer season?

TIA. :)

[boygeorgefan]

Anyone know the flight types operating on MON7174 and MON1276 departing on Monday evenings from Manchester to Corfu this summer 2008. Thanks.

[Avman]

Expect this to be moved to the appropriate forum.

[Flying Torquewrench]

MON7174 A300

Can't find the MON1276 in the program I have got. Might be a change after we got the summer program. Standing by for Mr@SpottyM

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Thanks Flying Torquewrench, but can l go 50-50 or phone a friend, sorry l can not help this time.
It might vary at odd times for the first few months of the summer, as one A300 will be out of the program until the end of June, plus other types in May due maintenance.

[Flying Torquewrench]

Spotty,

Don't know if phone a friend will help you this time. Unless you have a friend who has seen the BIG picture. ;)

The MON1276 doesn't even show on the peak week schedule on Mnet. However there is an earlier departure out of MAN to CFU. But totally different flight number.

[boygeorgefan]

Wonder if anyone can help me with what XL are using on Tenerife and Las Palmas flights from Manchester this summer. Is it the new 739's.

[boygeorgefan]

What is the based XL 738 this year, will it be leased from Sunwing airlines and also will it be in Sunwing or XL colours.
And what is the correct departure time on Friday evenings on the XL flight to Tenerife.

[boygeorgefan]

Is the XL flight going to be operated by a Sungwing 737-800 ?

[HeathrowAirport]

How will SIA cope with LHR-SIN-LHR every day with the A380?

They'll probably arrange some pilots to fly it, sell some tickets, get a few cabin crew to deal with any passengers who turn up, sort a few other things out, and away they go.
