All MAN and LGW fights are operated by the same set of Boeing 747-400's. Check the What Aircraft? page on the forum and you'll see the aircraft history for UVF (or any other route).

February should be reasonably quiet for UVF so i wouldnt expect the flights to be full, though it depends on which class you are booking PE seems to often be full on the B&S routes.

Thanks,
Sarah

If you are after the Sunday flights to / from St Lucia, then they are likely to be fairly full as a guess. The Thursday flights will invariably be quieter - unless you're looking at Half Term week.

As Sarah said above, the B&S routes are generally fairly full. I came back from Orlando to Manchester in November [admittedly, on a Saturday]. The friend I was travelling with wanted to get onto one of the two Gatwick flights instead of Manchester - he went to the ticket desk and offered cash [no trying to wangle a freebie] to transfer & was told that both the Gatwick flights were completely full in all cabins.

If you're going on the Thursday flights, out of Half Term week, I cannot see them being too full... but I could be wrong!

Just to clarify on Kraken's post the St. Lucia route is Thursday's only. The one on Sunday is the Barbados flight.
