I am on BA284 next Wednesday May 4th. Yesterday evening the seat map still showed the wardrobe in front, galley and toilets in the back. Seat 1A had a small rectangle over it.
This morning (9:20am PDT) the seats map had changed, 1A/K was available. No wardrobe, galley or toilets nor the rectangle over the 1A seat. This was more than 72 hours before the flight and guess where me and the misses are now sitting.

Do they hold any seats on the 777's for gold. that open up at t-72? and if they do which ones should I grab for my wife and I 1A 1E or 1F 1K
Also I know that people have talked about the different changes on the seat maps that show that a plane has NF. Is there one post that list all the possible configurations that may suggest NF.
I have my flight from PHL in just over a week and either way I am looking forward to the trip. Have just over 2 hours between flights going over in the CCR and coming back we are staying at one of the local hotels at LHR before a 1pm flight so we will enjoy it more on the return

Hi
We are flying from Las Vegas to Heathrow on Weds 22nd June and are travelling in First, can anyone please tell me if this flight has been fitted with NF or is it still old First?. The fight number is BA0274 (no doubt people who would know the answer would know the flight number for this journey).

I can't tell you what will happen in June, but if you look here http://ftdashboard.net/overview/baflights.htm and here http://ftdashboard.net/dest/las.htm, it shows that (so far) all of the flights between LAS and LHR have been in planes with Old First.

Asked above I know but does anyone know why 744 refits have slowed down so much over recent months?
Looking good if you are on a long-LH 772 (SIN, SYD, PVK) as the odds when the last one is done become 100%
