I am flying this route on points in October with Mrs CC (Oct 18). When I did a dummy booking it showed the route being serviced by a 330 (which seat guru shows as 2-2-2 in J), but when I called to book seats, I was told only the 3 middle seats were available ?? Does this mean that the flight is on one of the older 777's ?

Anyone have expierience with this route that can shed some light on this ?

Thanks
