Pretty weird decision since the youngest A330 is just 5 years old (the last A330-300 built). I do hope they will order the A330-800 as these A330-200 definitely needs a replacement.

Honestly I think it would be sensible to just stick with the 900
Thought the A350-1000 was the B747 replacement 
Donāt forget time the aircraft are delivered that aircraft could be 10 years old or more. Their reason why airlines havenāt gone with the 800, too heavy and better off with 900.

They got more of a mix fleet now. But was supposed to be A350 and B777-9.

I think BA have realised what a great aircraft the 787-10 is for what they need, so are getting more of them.
Well might be going on a short trip to menorca over the half term! Would be on BA Euroflyer from Gatwick. Only for a couple of nights but would be nice to get some sun!
When?
In about a weeks time
how do you afford these flights?
Well some people travel for business in part, and then aside from that budget carefully. Itās amazing how much money you can wring out of even a relatively small income with careful finance management. Also, travel can be quite cheap depending on the airline (although his havenāt always been lol)

Also with Avios you can earn them by not even flying!

Hi all
It seems like my first flight for my summer holiday was supposed to be on a 737-800 but just got swapped today on the 737 Max 8.
I just want to ask is the 737 Max safe, as Iāve seen loads of incidents with it and Iām so worried that I might be involved in an incident (possibly a fatal one).
Any answers are welcome as Iām really worried about that aircraft (and my life)ā¦
