Virgin Atlantic A340-600's
Too mean to buy a long personal title
The airline's website timetable is a good place to start - esp with an airline like VS because it has a relatively limited number of routes to search.
There's a (quite impressive) unofficial website that has all this. Shame the proper Virgin website has one of the least informative displays of all. It wasn't that long ago the timetables failed to tell you if it was JFK or Newark a flight operated to !

The VS web site used to tell you the equ. that was planned to operate the sector but no longer does. For all their communications skills the VS web site has never been one of the best. It's current incarnation has some improvements though.

VS now flies the 600 on JFK, HKG and NRT routes daily, with SYD daily starting Dec 04.
Other routes are rotated through 340-300/600 a/c as they are available.
As the 600s arrive, so theyll cover more routes. I believe JNB is next for daily guaranteed 600.
Cheers

www.baa.co.uk is the best site for a/c types. Enter site, go to Heathrow, then flight information and then timetable. It displays all the airlines flying to your selected destination.

Phil,
Your friend must be on the VS10 - LHR, if she wants to change to any of the other 4 daily flights from New York - London she'll be on a Boeing.
I can't understand her attitude though, from a passenger point of view you are FAR better off on the -600!
