I am a UA flyer and looking for award tickets in C/F to Australia and I found some Asiana availability in C from ORD to ICN to SYD. I have read through the Asiana FT thread, seatguru, and Asiana's English website and I am completely confused on what the C product will be for my flights.
As currently stands:
ORD>ICN is a 777-200ER
ICN>SYD is a 330-300
Can someone please let me know what kind of C I will have? If it makes a difference, I won't be flying until OCT2012. I also know that plane types can and do change, so if there are other C variants, please explain those ones as well
Thanks!!
I'm not an expert here, but according to this, http://us.flyasiana.com/Global/US/en/homepage?fid=INFO11400 (go to the "Route by Type of Aircrafts" tab, your flights are not equipped with the Quadra Smartium flat beds. I guess the QS hasn't hit the Chicago 777s yet. But, that may change in 7 months.

Everyone know OZ site is the worst airline site of the world, and even the link you referred to is totally misleading. (e.g. ORD is 2 class AVOD non QS)

When the plane is non-QS, it is also non-AVOD, there is no such thing of AVOD but non-QS on the 2 class 777, it will only happens on 3 class 777 and 747/74M.

I booked a reward reservation ICN-ORD in November 2012 using UA miles.
It booked into "O" and I was charged for a first class reward.
Is there really F on this route? (I tried a dummy booking on Asiana website for the same date and it said "F not available")
If you book a seat in F on 3 class, what are the odds there is a substitution for 2 class?
In that case, I presume you are downgraded to business?
Thanks.

My understanding is that there is 1 777 aircraft that have "F", servicing the ORD-ICN route.
The other F routes are LAX-ICN and FRA-ICN on 747 service in the nose.
There is currently a substitution on for LAX-ICN but in my understanding it is rare and not a usual occurrence.
