Certainly not to Oz, USA and Europe.

But my African destinations (mostly EBB and ADD) have always been served by B777-300s where I'm always the only one in F.

I do suspect that in the future these destinations will be served by A350s or B787s. I'm guessing that CPT and JNB will definitely retain F availability, maybe CMN, MRU, SEZ, MLE and CAI too. But the rest will probably lose that cabin.

However, the B777-300s will be around for a while, and by the time they are replaced, I will at best be in the nursing home dribbling soup on my pyjamas (non-EK ones!).

So I guess my statement was indeed somewhat precipitate.
