I have seen that this flight will be dual operated with 343 and 346 a/c
does anybody know what days each are operating.
It is rather confusing as th Which a/c log shows a 346 on the Tues Deps, yet i have been told that it wil be a 343 (Change of a/c due to tech understood etc)

Thanks
Ron

I stand to be corrected here, but I have looked in the past for 'patterns' in a/c movement on a route and I don't think there is any consistency between days of the week and type of a/c - it is probably far more complicated than that[:I]

If you look at the movements pages you will see that aircraft fly many different routes and are also involved in 'positioning flights' - so the a/c that flew out to a destination is not forced to be the one that wil;l fly back ;)

What date in October are you flying, silverfox?

Availability Tool shows that on 19th Oct, VS022 has a 343 allocated at the moment. Like Nick says, a/c aren't usually planned on routes according to the day - AFAIK, there's loads of complex positioning & operational calculations to be made.

Thanks for the update,

Now another little Q (sorry)

What is the difference between the PE seats on the 346 (are they kash and who /what is that) and the 343,
There seems to be a bit of debate on Airliners ,net about the 343 being scruffy etc

Thanks

Perhaps some cabin staff could take some pics to show?
