this morning i drove past T3 and there was a BD A330 at the end of the terminal, near Alpha catering i think it is, the other A330 was parked on the corner of T3 (where the terminal makes a turn into the U shaped area infront of the viewing area/cafe bit in T1) hope ive described that ok!

Shame your going inJuly id be able to give a review of DL’s MAN-JFK service when i fly in October!
Hip hip hooray so well be left with one A330 and thats it? Id imagine VS taking over the caribbean and vegas routes, which will be nice to see, however its such a shame BMI had great potential!
Ta very much, not bad I shall enjoy the mini-cabin!
Very true so long as they dont pull it before October!
Not just need to find out what the seat pitch is like for row 11! :p
I know this is a rather late reply to the party but I saw the A380 land from a rooftop in Chiswick and was amazed at how quiet it was. Saw numerous A320’s B737’s a BA747 and AC B767 all of who you could hear, but as the A380 went past not a sound!
Amazing machine!
BMI have a very nice economy product on the A330, nice seats, reasonable legroom, seat back tv’s and the nose and belly cameras are great!
Obviously I cant comment on the B767 product.
Bring thos A330’s back to MAN 😡
Intresting, i really hope Delta make a go of the rout and im sure with time it will develope and become a success, I would certainly use the service more often.
You have to take anything mentioned on airliners with a pinch of salt but it would be nice to see the US carriers adding a few more destinations, would love to see US add Phoenix but then im dreaming!
Then theres BMI and the potential they had but thats a whole new thread thats been discussed many times!
Anyway back to delta had a look on the website and most of the flights in the next month or two seem to be well over half full.
Mine would have to be the A330-200 especially a BMI A332, such a shame BMI wont make a go of long haul ops ex MAN! I think the BD A332 has to be the best looking around. Other than that i like our SQ772ER’s quite a bit but then im not biased at all!!! 😀
Great video i remember years ago my grandma took me and my cousin on a pleasure flight on concord! From Leeds/Bradford i remember the captain coming on the PA and saying due to the runway length they would have to use the afterburners! What a day and what a machine!
Thanks guys
I guess im hoping that the international expansion will keep them going and help them on the right direction!
I hope it goes well as its nice to see more international expansion from MAN. Come on DL keep going!
Shall we play chicken?
