Flying Man-Mco at 1030 on May 16th. We are booked upstairs but is it likely to not be a 747 or are they still predominantly used from Manchester?
Flight radar says 77% of the time it's a gw1 which i have no idea what that means lol

I assume you're booked with Virgin? I believe the only plane they operate from any airport to MCO is a 747 but I may be wrong on that. If you've booked seats upstairs then that's the plane it'll be. Only in exceptional circs (technical issue with plane, schedule clash) would they change it and it's highly unlikely.

If your upstairs then it has to be a 747.

Yea I know theyd booked us upstairs but realise that can change if they change the plane.
What does GW1 mean then?

It's a LGW/MAN configured 747. That flight statistic is way wrong the actual figure around 99%.
