The other 3 versions had wifi so I didn't think we would be getting those. This is Version 1 with 9 abreast. Makes sense we'd get the oldest version. I think it will be a good if it's BR. I haven't looked at IFE or seats in-depth.
Seatguru is out of date (as usual). BR has wifi on all its 77W now so there is only 3 versions. Check out the wiki on the BR 77W seating thread: Everything You Want to Know About Where to Sit on an EVA 777-300ER
