The A340

RE: The A340

Thanks for the clarification Shaun. Once upon a time, the first flight, that left LAX around 3 to 4ish, was a 747. But, good on you, nonetheless.

At the moment both the flight operated by virgin to LAX are A340-300’s.

RE: The A340

Continental also codeshares with Virgin on the LAX-LHR run, with 1 of the 2 flights being an A340. Continental surely DOES NOT operate any A340’s. They have an all Boeing fleet. Once upon a time, they had some A300’s, but those have been gone for a long time now.

I flew on both the B767 and A340 with Gulf Air, I definately preferred the 767, it seemed quiter, and the air conditioning was better which is important when sat on the ground in Doha for 50 mins before flying on to Bahrain!

RE: The A340

I have flown in the A340’s of both Sri Lankan and Virgin. I like them also because of the 2-4-2 layout.

On the Virgin flight though I found that on the return flight, the back part of the seat was uncompfy so I had to use a number of pillows to get rid of the pain.

Yup, your flight is a Virgin codeshare, it will be a Virgin Aircraft which is very good news. See my bit above.

RE: The A340

I did CDG-IGI on an AF A340, it was a great flight!

RE: The A340

Hi

I have flown on an A340 of Sri Lankan, and found it quite nice, I like the fact that you can get 2 seat together and u are not stuck with having a row with 3 seat.

Maybe a codeshare, possibly Virgin. What is the route of your flight?

I’ve flown economy on a Virgin 340 and its the best flight I’ve had! Its a very quiet aircraft, entertainment includes 8 movies and video games plus more channels of sport, comedy etc and the skymap.

My favourite aircraft to fly on, its just excellent!
