We will see how the availability goes- hopefully we will be able to hold out until 1 Nov. We can book F out and CW back- works quite well as there is plenty of J availability on the return, and we can get F on 4 flights to JFK or EWR on our planned departure day.
Not sure where to book to- the BA189 to EWR leaving at about 2PM is a YMM* 777 so it will definitely have NF, but the BA115 and BA179 to JFK are both 744's- is the JFK route now operated by New F 744's all the time?
