V-Flyer

Hi !

Off to San Fran the end of March with the wife on a Kid free long weekend (still got MAN-MCO to do with the kids in February First!)

We are booked onto VS19 which according to our seat plan at the time of booking last year was a A346, looking at Flightradar the last couple of days this has been operated by a 789.

Any inside info if this is due to operational reasons or has the aircraft type on this flight changed permanently?

Looks like a Dreamliner again today....

What's the current aircraft on your seat map? I'd say that's a good indication

A346, which I must admit I like almost as much as the 744...

Just found this little snippet on airlineroute.net:

London Heathrow – San Francisco eff 30MAY16 Addition of 13th weekly flight for summer season
VS019 LHR1150 – 1510SFO 346 D
VS041 LHR1540 – 1850SFO 789 x15
VS041 LHR1550 – 1900SFO 789 1

VS020 SFO1740 – 1205+1LHR 346 D
VS042 SFO2110 – 1550+1LHR 789 x135
VS042 SFO2125 – 1605+1LHR 789 3
VS042 SFO2250 – 1730+1LHR 789 1

Although that's effective from May 30th which would be after your flight, it seems that the VS19 is on an A346. As for before that date, I'm afraid I have no idea!

Thanks for your info... We've got years of 787 service left, so I still like to catch the old 'uns while I can
