4X-ELH - *unnamed* *not in full livery* (This plane has an all Economy Class configuration on the main deck, and Business Class only on the upper deck. It is the newest 744 to join the LY fleet, but has considerable age already.)

Note about 4X-ELE: This plane was formerly owned by Singapore Airlines. It's differentiated from other 744s by the existence of row 80 in the upper deck Business Class section. The plane features newer F seats and SQ's old C seats. This plane, however, features numerous technical difficulties, and the IFE, though AVOD, has numerous glitches. The IFE in Y is the same as other, non-retrofitted, 744s.

*Note that only the 777-200ER and the 747-400 feature First Class in addition to Business Class.

The 777s and 744s are going through a retrofit. When that's finished, all 12 planes will feature the same F seat, (a fully-flat, 180 degree, bed) and the same C seat (a 170 degree, angled lie-flat, seat). A picture of the new C seat can be found here. F/C/Y will feature AVOD as well. In the meantime, if seated on a plane that does not yet feature AVOD, LY will provide VOD devices, free of charge, to F and C pax, and to Y pax for a $10 charge. (This is in addition to the existing PTV with multiple channels of looped entertainment, available for free.) More information can be found here.
