Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - C seats YYZ-HKG

I am on the 11AM flight out of YYZ , does it have the new seat? It looks like it is a 777-300

Those are the new seats, whenever the flight is operated by the 777-300ER the new seats are in place.

It just says 777-300, no ER in there.

Yes - 777-300ER (77A)

does Cathay have any 200ER three tanks? since I thought they had the longest range?

i flew on the Cathay flight a month ago and it is the new cabin if you are on the 777.

The 77Ws actually have slightly more stated range than the 772ERs. The GE90-115Bs proved to be more efficient than originally expected.

Do note that CX does have 777-300s (launch customer?) which is essentially a stretched 777-200ER.

Cathay Pacific never has B777-200ERs, the 777-300 is essentially a stretched 777-200.

I'm actually surprised that the GE90-115Bs are more efficient than GE originally stated.

By the way, does any one know what long-haul destination will be the next to have the 77Ws for Cathay Pacific?

stupid me, i meant to say 200LR 3 fuel tanks.....http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777family/pf/pf_rc_london.html

damn, that is some range

3.6% better fuel burn than predicted.

No, the 777-300s would have almost no range if it was merely a stretched 777-200! The thrust difference is some 15k lbs per engine + a 50 ton max. takeoff weight differential. The -300 is based on the -200IGW (Increased Gross Weight) which was later renamed the -200ER. The -200s (A market) have low MTOW (545k lbs) and low thrust engines mid-high 70k lbs while -200ERs and -300s have MTOWs in the 660k lb range and thrust around 90 k lbs.
