Manchester seems to be increasing it's service
As per 01JUN10 GDS timetable display, Virgin Atlantic is increasing Manchester Orlando service in Summer 2011 season. There are 11 weekly service effective 01APR11, compared to current maximum 10 weekly in peak Summer period in 2010.
Also, mentioned on this site yesterday (31MAY10), 7 of 11 weekly service is scheduled to be operated by the New Airbus A330-300, the airlines first route for this aircraft type for the moment.
Schedules:
VS075 MAN1100 1510MCO 333 D

VS076 MCO1900 0810+1MAN 333 D
VS074 MCO2025 0935+1MAN 744 X157
I'll be sorry to see the 747's disappear although they are not going straight away as they will be used on certain days from Gatwick and as shown above they are being used alongside the 333 (Airbus). Where it says 744 is a 747.
