Since the travel is in the first week of January which is a popular travel period, are Thai less likely to substitute the A380 for a 777-300ER on the LHR route, or should I rebook myself to CDG just to be on the safe side? It's nearly a year out, so I understand that a lot can happen in that time.
I've checked my crystal balls (both of them) but there's no way of knowing I'm afraid
