Pictures from new A330 - PE and Economy *Updated Sunday 3/4

[wayneg]

We're in Orlando, we flew economy on Monday on the new plane, it was great, so much more space. Leg room great, even the man on the other side of the aisle commented. On demand entertainment was fab. Best thing was no 'plane smell'. Have taken pics of cabin but can't post them till I'm home next week. For an economy passenger it was streets ahead of the old plane

Great to hear, I am coming home PE in August but I will wait to comment until I have tried it, I don't think its fair knocking it until I have sat in the seat.

A good review of PE on the A330, in particular the back seats are discussed in the questions and answers, sounds like they have full recline

I understand that today's VS75 flight has been cancelled....I am on that flight in 7 days time so hopefully any issues will be resolved by then.

Well, I can't beat those photos but can tell you that the PE cabin was great. We were slightly apprehensive as our last three flights have been UC but this was our best flight yet for many reasons.

Perhaps a lot of it is down to the girls getting older, now 7 & 5, but the IFE was fab. For the first time in years I managed to watch two films as I could pause and play them as and when required. The girls thought they we very grown up using their own systems. When they first turn the screens on, you can select 'kids only' so you know they can't watch anything 'inappropriate'! The IFE kept them very busy. Food was ok. Plenty of drinks served throughout the flight along with ice cream and a sandwich and cookie later on.

I had ordered some champers for DH birthday and some cupcakes. The CC asked if we wanted it opening, I wasn't sure, so they chilled it anyway and 30 mins later two CC and a pilot presented the bottle to DH and sand happy birthday!! Priceless!!

The CC were fab, nothing too much trouble.

We were sat in twos at the very back of the cabin, 24 & 25 H/K, great seats, especially the back row.

Last night we went out for DH's birthday, limo, meal at CG, fireworks over MK - fab night. DD2 has a hi temp at mo but she coped well with the late evening all things considered! Food and service at CG were great BUT the prices are ridiculous IMHO and can't see that we would go back again.....

This has turned into a mini tr! Hoping to go to Epcot later on today, will have to see how DD2 is. We did wwohp on Monday, CRAZY busy, didn't go on any rides, wait times too long, but we did tour the castle, bit too dark to see very much! DD2 bought herself a ginny weasley wand so all was well. The whole area is beautifully designed but way too hot n busy for us!

Ttfn.
