Thanks, krazykanuck! Ditto on the 2-4-2 config. We're actually headed back to Scotland in a couple of weeks, and I have the GF booked on BA's 77W (LHR-IAH) as she needs to get back a little earlier than me. The seat map is showing Club Suites, but I've noticed on Flight Radar 24 that BA has been using the old config on the route for all but one day this week. So I'm a bit nervous at this point.

Haha! Thanks!, That would have surely been a heck of an experience.

Appreciate the concern! She's good now. This trip actually took place in September 2022.

That's an oops on my part! I hope you guys enjoy your trip! I think BA went back to full pre-pandemic service by now, so hopefully your flights are even more enjoyable.
