Nor can I pull up the seating chart on EF. May be a 789 tonight? Though I also find on this flight I often receive a courtesy upgrade from WT to WT+ while in the lounge.
Though with the collapse of the Alberta oil industry, doubt BA would be able to sell any F seats so decided to scrap that cabin (in spite of what the booking site might offer...did you actually proceed to book that F seat to see if the engine would actually confirm it?). When F cabin is used as J, airlines generally offer those F seats to their elites.
That route probably has never had the demand for F. It's always a 3 class service in the normal scheme of things. The airlineroute.net article referenced in my earlier post clearly states that the 789 was put in YYC unannounced and no F would be for sale.
Flightaware says that your flight tonight is a 788, so no 789. I can't pull up the seat map in KVS or the one for BA95 later on either.
