BA club suites for SYD

[dpfarce]

Im probably missing something obvious, but how do I tell which 777 will be my 777?

 

[BriarFlyer]

Try ExpertFlyer's seat map and put in yr flight # and date. It's usually accurate at the time, although things can change (i.e. a change of plane.)

My BA15 flight is a Boeing 787 (September 2023).

Some of their 789's have the new suites.

MY BA15/16 Flights in October 2023 are both 787-9 in old config too

 

[OATEK]

The initial allocation of the 777 was seasonal and as far as i can see there is no clear indication of if/when it will return apart from an assumption that it would be in the northern winter perhaps. Will be a couple of years before the 789s we usually get have had the makeover.

Let's hope they change it!

I have an option to fly business or first.. SYD to SIN
Is the first worth the additional 35k points? Looks like a stretched out business class

If the alternative is the old CW seat then yes, with bells on.

I flew recently on the old CW on a 777 (aircraft subbed) and forgot how ordinary it was.

I believe the plane is operating both new business and first class seats on the 777-300er.
It's the temporary switch from 789 to 777 for BA15/BA16

Did a paid upgrade to J SIN-SYD on BA15. Got the 1-2-1 config but seat seemed to have a broken storage console and seat seemed not quite fully lie flat. YMMV

Are there "new" club suite 777 business class planes with the old 777 1st class still? Expertflyer seems to show 1-2-1 for 1st class but I (personally) can't tell if that is the old or new one

According to Aerolopa, no. First seats reduce from 14 down to 8 when they fit the CS seats:

The British Airways fleet of 777s is quite finely diced into several configurations, although as far as the Heathrow based aircraft are concerned, there is movement towards consolidating the fleet into three types through a programme of fleet refurbishments. At the beginning of 2023, the...

Boo I'm in J on a 789 from LHR to SIN (not that QF care about facts in MMB, they have it listed as an A320).

I don't love BA at the best of times, but if I get that ruddy rear facing middle seat I am not going to be happy.

I have a few intra Europe BA flights in April and can let you know if it's still a thing.

I was pleasantly surprised on my Club Europe award flight in October

I was pleasantly surprised with my Club Europe awards earlier this month

With <2 months until mine I’m pleased to hear it.

A seat with superior comfort, even if it’s a rear facing 787 seat, would be great.

Keep us posted - I'll be back in Europe in 6 months and may do a few mileage runs...

Just a note that my SO, who was travelling on a split PNR, did not share my surprise. However there was something weird going on with the way BA treated the PNR, as her QFF number and status wasn't shown on her BP.

Missing points claim (through the form, not the email) yielded surprising results. No BP or e-ticket needed.

Reporting I wasn't pleasantly surprised when I did the long trek to the UK and back (but was hopeful)! Hit and miss it seams. Though my ticket was re-issued more than 10 times, so I was just thankful to have a seat on board!
