Virgin Atlantic A330-300 1st Route Announced, MCO

Since we have a decent Florida based group at NYC I figured this would be worth posting. Virgin Atlantic has announced their initial routes for their new Airbus A330-300 that will enter the fleet in February 2011. With the introduction of the Airbus A330 Virgin will be unveiling new products in upper class, premium economy and economy. Virgin currently has 10 aircraft on order. The first two deliveries will be configured without the upper class and be used for solel leisure routes while the other 8 aircraft will be based at Heathrow with upper class.

Orlando MCO has been selected as the first route to see the new A330 from Manchester, London-Gatwick, and Glasgow.

Steve do you take photos at MCO?

Maybe Virgin will come out with a nice special livery (they won't do it) or at least a nicer sticker than that Harry Potter crap on the 747 8)
