I want to thank the folks here that offered advice/tips in ensuring this became a reality. So big thanks to Exec_Plat, JDiver, and mangoMan. Now just one more question, or at least until I can think of another one.
I plan on trying to upgrade the 2 J seats on CDG-DFW because I believe the 777 has the angled lie flat seats, but should I also spring for F seats on the 77W or stand pat with the U seats? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
You're welcome (probably speaking for, but not claiming to, the other members you're thanking). You did rather well!
Yes, the unrefurbished three class 772 has 2 x 3 x 2 angled flat seats, and spacious First class suites. (The refurbished CIP offers no F, but all-aisle access horizontal flat seats.) changing U to Z, iirc the classes, shouldn't incur any fees if the inventory becomes available (set up Z seat alerts with EF).
The 77W IMO offers the best Business seats in the entire fleet. The few Flagship / F suites are not a quantum leap above J, and I'd be quite content to fly in J.
