I booked through BA but am IB Go so maybe that's why I can already view/select PE?

Seems like a waste to use their new v2 A350 on this route vs a flagship longhaul route?
A lot of the S. America routes require a lot of ground time, I'd say it's highly likely that it's arriving from somewhere in the Americas, going to LHR and back, then heading to S. America in the midnight bank. Also, IB isn't treating the configuration any differently as they have the exact same seat layout so there's no reason to add schedule complexity rather than just treating them as any other 350
