Which one most likely would have the NICE new Biz class seats?

OR

HND - HKG - Flight 543 leaving at 10:45 AM showing the 747
OP, if you are travelling in Nov 2014, I wouldn't really book this far out ahead unless you are BA Gold and can cancel for free.
CX is horrible when it comes to regional switcher-oos so whatever your CX 509 NRT is showing now, you can put a bet chances are it isn't going to be that equipment.

HND is more reliable for long haul equipment except all the rumors say the 744 will be retired by the time you fly.
So even though CX wants to fly long haul equipment on that, do they have the extra plane to rotate for a HND turn.

Did the photos help at the very least?
