Well having re-read the Ultimate Guide it looks like we will be on some of the oldest, 17 F Seat 777s, the 4-class G-ZZZ series so am not holding out much hope. What is more concerning is that, even having checked twice, You First were adamant that the flight would have AVOD.

I'd have thought this kind of information should be available to the You First team - there are only 2 main aircraft types with F and surely not that many variations in terms of hard product that they need to know about!

Yep - most of my EWR flights on the 777 have had AVOD in the last couple of years so thanks for the info. Unfortunately it looks like this time I have chosen a flight on one of the oldest 777s in the fleet
