Likely to be an LTU A330-200 or -300.
Nice! U've made my day :wink: :D
But my flight number is TUB1843, before april i saw LTU flights to punta cana...
A737-800 can't fly overthere i suppose, short range?
maybe they have already bought a 767 from SLR?

greets and thanks :wink:

Will those 3 Spanish 737's have Spanish crews or Belgian crews (or mixed crews)?
Maybe Spanish pilots and Belgian cabin crew?
Anyone knows?

Are there any new developments in the last weeks (LTU A330 flights to the dominican republic)?
I recieved my tickets today, it's getting closer :P
someone who knows what the best seats/rows in a A330 are (on the window :D )?

When i'm back i'll post a report of my flights, it's only a charter, but it's better than nothing is'nt it :wink:

Kind Regards, stefan

Hello,

Usually if you're flying coach, you'd like to request an exit row at door 3 for the added pitch... On some AC you might well end near the lavs though...
You might also have to answer some questions at check in to sit there ("are you over 15, in good condition and willing and able to operate the exits and direct others to the exit...")
And bulk heads might be reserved for parents travelling with infants.
Avoid of course the seat row immediately before the exit as you would have no recline (to avoid hindering an evacuation)

Row # are impossible to advise as they vary with each operator.

Have a safe and nice trip!

VFlies

Sitting is usually 2-4-2, so sides are perfect for couples, while families might be happier sitting together in the middle section...

BY stands for Brittania, the UK affiliate of TUI. You might indeed end up in that plane.
