Hi forum,

Longtime VS flyer on NYCLON looking to book my first BA LH flight in... a really long time. The LHRJFK option (in J) I'm looking at (for June) appears to be a 77H with 76J CS. If I'm following the discussions, it sounds like BA's refurb program is still underway? I realize operational issues can arise at any time, but I'm trying to get a sense of the frequency of equipment substitutions on this particular route, which presumably BA would try to prioritize maintaining their flagship product on.

For a risk assessment comparison, I would book AF JFKCDG BEST J even though there's a small chance the flight might get downgraded to NEV. OTOH, I would not book KL JFKAMS in W until they've completed that rollout, given the number of last minutes swaps being reported.

(Sorry if this is discussed upthread or elsewhere, FlyerTalk search is what it is...)

Thanks for any insight...
