Virgin atlantic

Whilst it been announced that Virgin are cutting back on staff and pulling out of Gatwick in the small print it says its discontinuing the further use of the 7 747 aircraft in the fleet, so what will be flying from Manchester?

I think they’ve said only some of the planes discontinued. Anyway they’ve said they are concentrating on Manchester- weren’t they bringing the new planes online there this year anyway?

TBH I always found it surprising that Virgin were still using the 747's, must be at least 6 years possibly longer since BA stopped them. They all seem to have it in for Gatwick! There must be a reason why BA & Virgin favour Heathrow, I mean it's not as if BA fly a MCO route out of there at the minute!

BA still fly a lot of 747’s. Some of them are now parked up in Gloucestershire

Well I for one will miss the 747’s out of Manchester. There’s way more room in UC with only having 14 seats as opposed to 30+. I suppose there will be more miles availability though - presuming they keep going 🤞

I think they have updated the website I have been checking as my June flight was booked and it had been showing as on time and still with my bubble seats but know it’s al changed and to contact them so in used there Wattsapp number to question my flight cancellation

I have just checked my flights on the website. I upgraded for extra legroom and they have changed my seats and allocated non legroom seats . I am fuming and will be in touch with Virgin on Tuesday.
