Is there a way to learn what kind of 777 before I book?
Thank you
On AA.com, "777" means 772. "77W" would indicate the new 777-300ER. Another indication is that the 77W is 1-2-1 in J and 3-4-3 in Y (with 3-3-3 MCE) while the 772 is 2-3-2 in J and 2-5-2 in Y. Also the 77W has an 8 seat F cabin while the 772 has 16F.
You don't say when you're flying, or what connection points you're looking at, but I believe LAX-LHR is going exclusively 77W. DFW and JFK also have 77Ws to LHR. I'm not sure about ORD. I would choose the LAX-LHR leg if I can; longest flight TATL, and in the 77W.
