They are still only selling J/Y, so it looks like the F seats will either fly out empty or go to Morning Calm Super-Elites and/or Full-Fare pax.
Maybe bobbybrown knows if they will be using the OLD 744 or the medium-old one, or one with new F/J?
Anyone?
Thanks!

Another 77W route
According to very brief article at traveltimes.co.kr, KE081/082, daytime ICN-JFK-ICN, might be switched to 77W, although not uploaded to any system yet. 77W to run 3/w for June~August, and daily from September. Since BKK is at day 246, JFK will be 357 or 135. And I guess one more 77W comes on Sep or late Aug. 3 77W is coming this year - let's see who's next.

Don't be too sure about that: On most intra-Asia routes, KE only have J and Y for sale on most booking systems, but if you call KE, only KE can see (and sell) F. I asked about this for the 747-400 on ICN-BKK starting at the end of this month, in fact, and although F isn't for sale anywhere, you CAN buy it via KE.

question: will they have the new looking y class seats on the 77W? i saw a pic of it somewhere in flickr (link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/merlint...n/photostream/) the monitors look bigger and the remote is below the screen instead of the armrest.
i read on a news blog that first class won't be for sale on this plane.
how many 77W's will KE have by July??
