I ended up doing a SDC to the earlier flight and got a Premium Economy seat! btw, the Polaris on the 777-200 doesn't look as nice as it does on the 777-300ER. I know the seats are the same but the smaller size of the plane just threw me off. Also, the fact that there is just the one galley in the middle and not the crosswalk thing makes it all more croded. I like 9L on 777-300ER but would not choose it on the 777-200 because it is closer to the galley.
