I may be wrong but I think Virgin used the A330 Airbus on the morning flights whilst the Boeing 747's were being refurbished and they will be reverting back to the 747's for all flights.
Indeed there is a reference on the Total Orlando facebook page to Virgin increasing capacity by 2,800 passengers per week by flying 747's on all its 11 flights from Manchester rather than the Airbus.
Hi Gary, have you looked at virgin-flyer.com ? In the Toolbox, Which Aircraft section, it lists the aircraft used on each route, and where different planes are used, it indicates the percentage of use for each plane. The site also gives details about the aircraft, including the entertainment systems in place. Our recent trip from Manchester was outbound on a Boeing 747, returning on an Airbus 300/340. The food was still as bad as ever, so you may wish to take sandwiches with you! Anyway, have a great holiday.
