V-Flyer

I am flying to HK on 27 June. What are my chances of getting G-VFIT?

At the moment there are 14 346's in the fleet I think, so that would suggest 1 in 14. However I think G-VFIT has been restricted thus far to the North American routes (principally JFK, but also BOS and LAX).

Short answer - not very likely!

Why has she been restricted?

Restricted probably not the right choice of word. I meant that she's only flown those routes so far, usually on VS9. I presume this is due to the fact that she has the extra PE seats and new Y seats, and these are the routes where they come in most useful, with more premium pax, but am only guessing.

Having said that, G-VEIL and G-VWIN also have the extra premium seats/new Y seats, and they seem to be scattered around the network fairly randomly from day to day.

We wer on GVFIT for it's second flight last week out to LAX. Complete with the new plane smell. Didn't manage to get any pics though, will post a TR sometime this week.
