V-Flyer

Hi guys...
am thinking of booking St Lucia in Feb... anyone got any info? What planes are used and are the flights full?

All MAN and LGW fights are operated by the same set of Boeing 747-400's. Check the What Aircraft? page on the forum and you'll see the aircraft history for UVF (or any other route).

February should be reasonably quiet for UVF so i wouldnt expect the flights to be full, though it depends on which class you are booking PE seems to often be full on the B&S routes.

Thanks,
Sarah

If you are after the Sunday flights to / from St Lucia, then they are likely to be fairly full as a guess. The Thursday flights will invariably be quieter - unless you're looking at Half Term week.

As Sarah said above, the B&S routes are generally fairly full. I came back from Orlando to Manchester in November [admittedly, on a Saturday]. The friend I was travelling with wanted to get onto one of the two Gatwick flights instead of Manchester - he went to the ticket desk and offered cash [no trying to wangle a freebie] to transfer & was told that both the Gatwick flights were completely full in all cabins.

If you're going on the Thursday flights, out of Half Term week, I cannot see them being too full... but I could be wrong!

Just to clarify on Kraken's post the St. Lucia route is Thursday's only. The one on Sunday is the Barbados flight.

We are off to St Luica on Thursday:D[8D][8D]:D looking forward to a nice break, let you know how we get on via the trip reports when we get back[y]

Happy Christmas
