I am off to Washington UC on Bank Holiday monday.
I note from the database that I have an 9% chance of a Suite on this run BUT another post here states that the two most frequnet 346's on this run are undergoing Suite upgrade about now.[:p]
Does anybody have a better (even definitive) idea on what will fly[ VS21 30.8.04:D
Ps back 4.9.05 VS22

JohnD,
There are no definitives in this business, aircraft can be swopped out or go tech at very late notice, even if you board and get airborne you may still have to return and deplane if there is a problem.
One of the VS staffers will be ablt to tell you which aircraft is scheduled to do that flight but remember, there are no guarantees.
Enjoy your flight.

Thanks,
I have flown 4 sectors with VS UC this year and all have been in the new 340 600's - so I have become attached to seat 3D:)
I would gladly give it up for a suite though;)
but I van't claim to be unhappy with UC on the 340's

Hi JohnD
Currently planned on G-VMEG (non-Suite) but subject to change of course.
Cheers

IAD starts to get the suites most of the time from 03SEP04 onwards once G-VGOA's back from France.
Sorry just missed out

Forgot to say unless delayed back from Toulouse, you should have a brand new UCS A346 on your return flight.

Change of plan from the ops world. It seems the aircraft destined for the VS22 04SEP has more need in Lagos at the moment. Although you still have a A346 its now non-suite - sorry!!
