on Friday morning i saw an Excel Airways 767-300 landing at Manchester i checked the teletext for the fight, but there was only XLA 133L -i think it was that flight number- from Sanford so i just guessed. and has excel airways based an 767-300 at Manchester this summer as i see in flightcheck a number of XLA flights operated by 767-300 to like Tenerife South etc..?
Ow and i do belive TF-AMK is now in the burnt orange style tail livery!

I also think it looks really snazzy, much like the 737-400 (TF-ELV), as mentioned above.
Given the choice, I’d rather get the 747-300 over the 747-400.

Looks quite nice!!!

I don’t think it looks too bad just a bit bland. Is it just me or do the engines look tiny compared to the plane?

Good Luck to Jon in Aug….I`m not far behind in Oct LGW-SFB, hope its over the the 400`s, dont know if that means back seat TV`s for all, but the kids are not looking forward to just 1 cabin TV, spoilt bratts, too much BA for them.
lol, im spoilt with Virgin Atlantic and im dreading my trip in August, I really hope they get the 747-400 before then! i hate the -300 it goes tech to often!

Not bad, but it’s that type of plane that will look nice in good light but terrible otherwise.

I like it – makes them look more than just a budget carrier. Noticed last year that the paint was pealing off the logo in parts last summer so glad they changed it. whats the interior like any photos?

Looks OK!
I remember seeing TF-ELV last summer, which had a similar tail.

I think they are merging the two brands ever closer. It doesn’t look too bad, quite smart.

Cant belive i gotta fly that in August!, i really hope they become Excel Airways and they get the 747-400!
