These midhaul aircraft are mainly used on TLV, AMM, BEY but they can go to MAD, or even LHR-NCL (I've had 4 rides on them on this sector this year, complete with Theoretical Seating in CE, which seems a bit harsh in a 3 seat per row layout). MAD also gets 777s, but it's much more to do with (a) amount of freight (b) sheer number of passengers and (c) available alternative aircraft lying around in the LHR warehouse. It can't be taken for granted, there are often late changes in different directions, and the service on board is CE Long rather CW (or for that matter CE Medium).
