EK also doesn’t really seem to be flaunting it like it’s going to be fleetwide. I’m of the opinion that I don’t think they’ll be putting the new F on all their 777’s.

So it begs the question why, and then further as someone asked above why these routes? First off when you think about it the product its very nice, and cutting edge, and cool, and all that great stuff. But it’s terrible for people traveling together. Secondly, these routes probably have the highest capacity of paid, single person F fares when you think about the city pairs and all the money floating around on these particular routes. The FRA one is probably to compete directly with LH business travelers too like HON’s who pay for F. Stansted I haven’t found a good answer for, but I’m sure there’s a reason. In any event, I’m pretty certain on the reasoning for the Geneva and Brussels routes. All of this is just a guess, but I have some reasons to my logic.
Which new 77Ws don't have it ?
