V-Flyer

Just flew back on VS08 and the aicraft seemed brand new bot I forgot to check the registration as we spent 30 minutes having a tour of heathrow afer we landed. UCS had the new table.

Can anyone find out which aicraft it was?

Quick trip report, got on, went to sleep, woke up, got off

You had the pleasure of G-VBLU - Soul Sister. Think I am right in saying that it was her first revenue flight.

This is the 1st A346 without the mid cabin galley in Y and the new seating??? Suppose if you were up front you missed all the new kit towards the back.....

Anything else look new in U.C????

The aircraft was only delivered on Monday.

I've heard of abbreviated TRs, manymiles, but I suspect you may win the prize!

How do you people do that? Really - whats the secret? I'm still yet to get a good night sleep on a plane.

Nothing else in UC looked different, just the table is sligthly different. The reading light is still in the wrong place.

I had planned to go and look for the new seats and layout but I was really asleep nearly all the way. I never have any problem sleeping during flights, indeed I have no problem sleeping any time I get some time when I am nto being bothered by phones or email.

Trip report was abbrviated, I had a bagette and a glass of wine before I went to sleep and I had a bacon roll and a coffee when I woke up.

I'm sure it wasnt VBLU. Like Chuck said, it arrived on Monday and fits irst flight was to Shanghai?

Hmmm, so was it VBLU or not? Does anyone know how to be 100% sure?

Heathrow movements show that VS7/8 was covered by G-VBLU on 01/02/06, VS7 left at 11.23 - This link should confirm.

Pegitt also has a source of info, I'm sure this can be confirmed....[y]

Yes, Rob is correct. I can also confirm that VS8 of 1/2/06 was G-VBLU as per the following:

OUT /0143.Z DL 04 A/C G-VBLUOFF /0159.Z A/C G-VBLU
ON /1205.Z A/C G-VBLUIN /1237.Z A/C G-VBLU

Hi Paul,

I believe it is as follows:

OUT(Departure from gate) /0143.Z (at 01:43 gmt)DL 04 (possible gate number?)A/C G-VBLUOFF (Take off)/0159.Z (at 01:59GMT)A/C G-VBLU
ON (Landed)/1205.Z (at 12:05 gmt) A/C G-VBLUIN (at Arrival Gate)/1237.Z (at 12:37 gmt)A/C G-VBLU

Hope this helps

Paul

Thanks for the explaination Paul, where do you get that info from if you don't mind me asking??? [:?]

Expertflyer.com flight status. This info starts to appear on the morning of the flight and stays there for about a month (I think this is a becuase you start to get forward flights within 336 days)

Take a look if you have access.

Paul

Thanks for the info Paul, just had a good look round expertflyer, this is going to keep me entertained for a while!!! [y]
