Daz, it's the 737-800 that don't have windows at some of the seats. This is due to the uprisers from the air conditioning packs under the floor. There are two blank window spaces on the left and one on the right, I've sat there once but I can't remember which row it is. Either way you can still look out the one in front or behind from that seat. The 757 is laid out differently so doesn't have this issue.

A330
Air tanker A330 just gone into Manchester as RRR860. Wonder if this is one of the ones for Jet2 ? Would have thought it would have been a G-VYG reg though but it was ZZ337

The in house A321 fleet was reduced to 3 aircraft from the original 7 and are all now Manchester based. However, with the order for up to 75 A321NEOs and the first arriving in early 2023, they could be based anywhere really.

This is what I'm seeing now aswell, looks to be very up in the air with alterations being made daily. There was a prior confirmation of 4x Smartlynx 321's but that seems to have maybe changed now to 2x in-house and 2x ACMI. If & where the other 2 company Airbus are coming from is yet to be seen.

18 in a few years to come - can see it.
Also where are Jet2 getting extra 737-800's from? I don't see any extra additional ones to take them up to 14 737-800's at BHX. Between MAN/BHX they'd have 25 737-800's which is nearly 40% of their current fleet.

Not sure what your source is but that would take Jet2 up to 18 aircraft for BHX making them the 2nd largest base. MAN the biggest - 3 A321, 11 B737-800, 7 B757-200 and 2 A330(from Tanker) (23 operating aircraft) and I doubt we'll see that large of a jump at BHX especially as this could be classed "as first season back" - all things been normal.

I’m sorry in advance, I can’t give you my particular source, and everyone here has different numbers at the moment because of all the changes to the plan, but this is what I can see planned (and it has changed over the past week)
In regards to the post I made recently about BHX, the particular time period was early may and it was a based fleet made up of at least 12 units - 8x738, 2x321 (company), and 2x ACMI/Smartlynx. This is obviously not than peak summer, but doesn’t seem unrealistic either. We shall have to wait and see.
On the same days, there are 3x company A321’s scheduled out of MAN which suggests a company 321 fleet of 5. as well as the Tankers and 752’s. I didn’t count the total, but it’s a lot more still.
