Looking at possible award booking HND DXB ORD for 2 in late February mid week.

It appears both segments have a 777 with Expert Flyer showing 6 seats (1-1-1) in F.

Does that mean these aircraft have the (what it appears this sub calls) “game changer” F seats?

Any other factors to consider in drilling down to specific aircraft type interior configurations?

Thanks you!
Yes, HND is the game changer F. No guarantees, but HND has been one of the more stable game changer destinations.

There is only one other F seat (although some
will have updated fabrics and newer tech), so no other considerations I can think of.

Issue I see is obviously your odds of getting two award seats on that route are lower (but not impossible) than on “ordinary” F flights that would have eight or 14 seats. But the J on those aircraft (per your post in another thread) will also be what most consider to be the better J product, so not a disaster.
