Ther are newer seats at the 77WN.
But that seat you flew in is actually their current J seat of 85% of their LH fleet.
They were updating the seats last year. Once that was done, I believe they blocked the redemptions. Back then, it was a matter of luck: you could either get a reffurbished bird or not. Now, they are all refurbished with the longhaul J seat, hence no availability for most Star partners.
