Is it possible to book the inaugural flight?
I've searched and for ICN-NRT flights on KE for June 17 at 10:10 am and they show it as a 777. Is this the right flight?
Contemplating booking a ticket for the inaugural flight if possible.

Estimated delivery year was pushed back to 2016. KE probably could not wait for too much delay, so they ordered five HGW version of A330-200 few years ago. KE became the first customer of A330-200HGW, and this aircraft turned out to be performing better than expected. As a result, KE recently ordered additional A330-200HGW, and converted B787-800 order into B787-900.
