Thanks to the OP for posting this thread,I have been trying to get a short haul 777 flight for ages and ages,have been on all the Boeing jets from 707 on,just the 777 and 787 to go,now I can cross off the 777 if the aircraft is not changed at the last minute,and for some reason I got free seat allocation,this has never happened before,and a seat I would have paid for!! Merry Xmas!
