Checking the inbound is a good idea as well. My travel is very flexible and I havent booked paid F for nearly 3 years due to this issue of aircraft switching. I book J fares and upgrade to F using miles (I only book the J tickets where an immediate upgrade is available if I really want to travel in F. )

I then cancel the upgrade if the inbound is 2 class or the one with old seats. (LGW is now becoming notorious for frequently switching to two class). No hassles and the miles are credited immediately.
