First Choice G-OOBK on its way to LGW
After a long wait and a few delays it looks like G-OOBK is on its way to First Choice in Gatwick tonight.
Its current status is:
Airline - First Choice Airways
Flight Number - 767F
Departure City (Airport) - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Departure Time - 02/18/2005 10:27 PM
Arrival City (Airport) - London, England, Great Britain (EGKK)
Arrival Time - 02/19/2005 12:15 AM
Remaining Flight Time - 05:34
Aircraft Type - B767-300
Flight Status In Flight
The question is when are we going to see the first real picturers of the new star class?

The service and seats look fantastic, however my concern is that currently FCA sells seats on its longhaul flights to 3rd party operators such as Thomson, Thomas Cook and Airtours, but with the new Star Class flights they are only going to be selling these through in-house tour ops ie First Choice Holidays, Unijet, Hayes and Jarvis etc, and im not sure that they will be able to fill the 767 with just there own tour ops. If it is a sucess which i very much hope it is, i can see BY, TCX, MON & MYT following in there foot steps, but i think they will monitor it first. TCX may even go down the line of re-config the A330 to the 35" used on the B757 to East Canada. We will see.

Goldeneye, i believe its only the star class premium seats being sold exclusively to First Choice Hols pax, as is currently done with all flights on their 321's & 767's, so they only have 62 to fill in the upgrade, which should be easy with the service offered, and the standard Star Class are offered to all sharers.
Thats the current policy on FCA operate

Aircraft certainly tech at KK at the moment, but for some facts, aircraft brought in was not a sub charter but another FCA 763, finally got airborne circa 12.40.

Thanks Silenthandover,
Blimey FC pax only on whole a/c, fair play, good to see at least one British tour operator doing so well in the market, just look at the profits posted a few weeks back - well done First Choice.
