Well boy 91

At a guess ,I’d say the Environmental Health department of Southampton Council . And possibly the port authorities of any intended calls ??

That would have a Virgin A330. Which are getting a bit long in the tooth now. Gradually being replaced with new A330 NEOS. According to the info Virgin will be utilising an A350 on the Barbados route. They are all fairly new,so hopefully a better travel experience for those on board

Just received email that the carriers for this year are TUI,Norse Atlantic and Virgin Atlantic. Norse have a fleet of Dreamliners. So better than last years offering of Maleth. Virgin Atlantic will offer the chance of upgrading to upper class on their flights. Last time Virgin were used was a mixture of A330 and A350 planes

Just for info on delayed flights. Doesn’t apply to the Maleth flights as they seem well in excess of three hour delays. The definition of landing is when the first door is opened. This has been decided upon legally regarding EU 261 passenger rights. So you might think your plane touched down just under three hours late.Note the time the first door opens to air bridge/stairs . That’s what counts .

Passengers now back at Manchester airport terminal after playing Maleth Hokey Cokey

The flight from Manchester has been cancelled . Passengers are in a hotel at Manchester Airport. New departure time tomorrow not yet known

More Maleth woes today. The 0930 flight from Gatwick to Bridgetown is presently sat on runway at Gatwick. Reports from other places of technical issues with the plane

I hope the Glass House is suitably stocked with supplies of Peller Ice Cold Cuvee for you Selbourne 😀

Replacment plane is en route to Bermuda from Gatwick Departed from there at 0835

From a report on another internet based platform ,it appears the plane encountered severe turbulence and its altitude changed dramatically . Reports of injuries on board with passengers struck by objects. Some hitting the ceiling as the plane dropped suddenly

Hi. We were on Azura recently. Had deluxe package. I think just about everything was included apart from champagne. If you search on a previous thread Iona Live 12th August. Posting number 55 by Paris Hilton shows the Glass House Drinks menu and what’s included on each package Hope that helps

We flew Antigua January this year from Manchester .Virgin Atlantic charter to join Arvia . Upper Class was offered before the flight to those who wanted to pay the extra. Plane was an Airbus 330.

Hi. On The Iona Live 12th August 2023 thread,,Post number 55,ParisHilton has kindly posted the drinks menu which shows what’s included,or not with the drink packages Hope that helps

I reserved seats the other day for a Jet2 scheduled flight to Malta to join Azura. As far I believe Jet2 scheduled flights are on line check in only. So you have to provide passport information prior to on line check in. This opens about 30 days before flight.

There’s a wine company in Bath who I use for supplies of Ice Cuvee. You’ll get a discount for a new order. Can’t name them,but they sell Great Wine 😗

Deck 9. Clubhouse noise.,it can be rather noisy with the sunset bar just below you. Whirlpool baths etc . Music. If peace and quiet are your thing,avoid deck 9

I can report via a friend on Ventura that the Peller Ice Cold Cuvee is included in deluxe package 😃. As is the red wine Boom Boom. My personal favourite

All very short on details . On the most expensive package id be looking for Ice Cold Cuvee and Boom Boom red wine . The devil will be in the detail

Hi. We flew Manchester to Antigua and return earlier this year. Virgin flights. An Airbus 330 plane. Should have left about 1100,then they said 1200. Eventually took off about 1300. Return flight left Antigua 1730 their time. Landed in Manchester just after 0500. Hope this helps

Hi. We flew from Manchester to Antigua at end of January with Virgin. Flight number was VS645. It said 1100 departure. This was then changed to 1200. And we left at 1300

Hi Tiger B. Originally it was £999 one way per person. They dropped it to £500 one way per person. If you look at a Virgin scheduled flight in Upper Class to Antigua from LHR it’s thousands of pounds . As you’ve already paid PE you’ll just need to pay the difference . That’s what we did through our travel agent. Which I’m not allowed to name,but there’s a village in Derbyshire with same name. Well worth it I say. Especially for a special event

Hi Tiger B. It was a standard 330. 10 years old. Registration G - VUFO We had same aircraft both ways . Mrs WB91 and I treated ourselves to upper class. 30 odd seats in the cabin.Great service. I know that Virgin have some A350s set up for leisure.They have smaller upper class and larger premium economy cabins.They have used these in some of the Barbados charters.Antigua seems to be 330s all the time. Hope this helps 👍🏻

This year P and O have charted Virgin Atlantic flights to Antigua and Barbados . From Manchester and London Heathrow. I believe TUI could not fulfil the flights due to a lack of availability with their Dreamliner fleet. We flew on a Virgin Airbus 330 from Manchester to Antigua and back. Very pleasant flight with good service
