Hi Everyone. Im off on my first UC flight next sunday (One week - YAH!) and having selected my seat online etc I was just wondering which aircraft would be used on this route. I have booked into seat 15A (want to be near the front - novalty for me) which shows this is to be a 747 but the route history here shows A340's used 100% on this route. Anyone know if they changing this or something? Just want to make sure I pre-book the best seat I can! Thanks.

Can i just say, wherever you sit you'll be fine..... Lucky so and so!

Personally though id sit away from the bar and id trust Virgins website re plane availability.

speaking from the jnb perspective i have flown with VS 340-6 and 747-4 i seem to think that in the winter VS tend to use 747-4

And as if to confirm the wisdom of VS045 and THEJOHN the database is showing B747-400 being used for the 15ths flight...
