VXLG Ruby Tuesday - Suites?

What's going on with this aircraft? According to the database, it's been flying recently, in fact flying on the San Francisco route - so it must have suites surely? Yet the database shows it as having the old seating still.

The thing which initially caught my attention was it being used on the Vegas route in mid-July - so I was wondering if it had suites then too. I'm also wondering what's going to happen later this month/early September when they start on the LGW planes. :)

Didn't think she'd been done yet Onionz, from what I can make out she will go to DUB after Lady P returns to service

Ahhh...ok, thanks Bazz. Seems VS have broken their promise on all JFK/SFO flights having the Suites then!;)

I suppose that's inevitable right now until all aircraft are done - just comes down to positioning and timing regarding what's available.

I have been told by FC that all SFO/JFK flights are UCS but i guess it only takes for one to go tech during the refit stage.

Yeah I'd noticed that too - VS20 1 day last week was G-VXLG. Glad I wasn't on it in Upper!!

I do hope Lady P comes back soon so XLG can be re-fitted ASAP.

Regards

I flew back from SFO on GVXLG this week and it does not have suites yet.

I think the only reason we got that aircraft was because the VS20 2 days before had been delayed 24hrs and some aircraft changes had to be done to try and keep flights delayed to a minimum
