Norwegian are still leasing aircraft to cover some of the 787 flights. Three of the last four days LGW-MIA it has been operated by a leased 777.

 

AFAIK, you will receive notification if it but there is a 777 that us basically shuttling back and forth on this route.

Hello 🙂

 

Thank you got the info 

 

Our flight in May was 3rd May. On 24/4 they advised it was now Hi-Fly A340-300

 

I am not up to speed with planes ✈️ Would a 777 be like BA/Virgin use? And 3/4/3 do you know?  My main concern is there is good choice of entertainment 

 

Appreciate anything you know 

 

Thank you 😊

Virgin Atlantic don't have any 777s but BA have dozens. Aircraft itself isn't *that* important to Joe Public, it's how it's configured. Don't know about Privilege Style apart from this lengthy thread on TripAdvisor.

I wouldn't rely upon ACMI aircraft having good entertainment. Buy an iPad or tablet, load it with films and you're good to go.

The last information I saw on leased planes was here:

The linked story says nothing about Miami, but seems to contradict your May experience.  Let us know what happens regardless of whether it is good or bad.
