No no. Three tickets:
One revenue one-way FRA-MAD-GRX, booked on Opodo as neither LATAM or IB website could price it, around 110 GBP for J
One redemption GRX-MAD-LHR(Stopover)-FRA, 22000 Avios + 36 GBP Fee, mix of J and Y.
One revenue return LHR-HEL-TLL-HEL-LHR, at 230 GBP for J, nested within the redemption
10 days of flying, 3 days in Granada, 2 in London and 2 in Tallinn

so with the LCY-MAD cancelled I was re-booked onto BA461. I rang AA and asked to be swapped to BA459 to be on the 777. The AA agent said she could select my seats but then after putting me on hold, she couldn't select any seats. She only saw the first cabin too!
I said I'll try manage my booking and as a GGL and booked onto club europe ticket, I have a blacked out first cabin. It says I'm in Seat 10A though
does anyone have any luck selecting a seat in the first cabin? I might give them a call

Also having issues with seat selection - Silver member but I only get the F seat map which is all greyed out. Have been put into 10D.
Not expecting an F seat but would at least like to choose one in the J cabin! will call tomorrow.

No idea - but I guess it will last at least till the end of summer schedule. I've got a conference in Barcelona in October, so about to book my flights via MAD to take advantage of 777 on that route ;-)
Interestingly enough on some days in October both 777 and 767 operate flights 20-30 minutes apart. I thought 777 was replacing 767... hope my 777s won't get enhanced with 767s
