- Am I guaranteed the new First product on this route?

- Right now I am booked in Seats 3A and 2K. Sounds like these are good seats; any other recommendations welcome

- Anything to look out for, take advantage of to make this an awesome journey?

- I still have a bunch of Avios points burning a hole in my pocket but no upgrades are showing up for the DFW-LHR-DFW routes in the 747.

Many thanks in advance.

Came back from BOM last week and the aircraft was a newly refurbished 777 very clean with NF, new WTP and new IFE system. World of difference from the 777 they used to use on this route a few years ago.
