AA 135 shows Fifty-two Safran Cirrus II seats configured 1-2-1 flagship AA 6935 shows British but to add to the confusion Seat guru shows Boeing 777-300 (773) with older configuration andAerolopa shows New British 77H configuration ?Can you guys help and provide some guidance, thank you
Please help me understand the aircraft configurations for our LA-London flights.
FLIGHTS ARE IN SUMMER
1. AA 6935 (Operated by British Airways):
- This is a codeshare flight, actually operated by British Airways
- The confusion between configurations is understandable, as BA has been retrofitting their 777s
- If Seat Guru is showing an older configuration but Aeroflot shows the new 77H, this suggests the aircraft might have been recently refitted
- BA's newest Club Suite configuration features the enclosed suites with doors CAN YOU CONFIRM THIS ASSUMPTION
2. AA 135 (American Airlines):
- This is operated by American Airlines with their Flagship Business class
- The Safran Cirrus II seats in 1-2-1 configuration are correct
Yes, the flights are different configurations because the flight over is operated by BA while the return flight is operated by AA. Different airlines, different business class configurations.
If the flight over is operated by a BA 773 then it will have the new club suites. For the return flight, AA135 is showing as a 77W (773), so it will have the Cirrus seats you mention above. AA only has one config of their 77W's.
Please forget you ever heard about SeatGuru, disregard whatever nonsense it says, it is worthless and hasn't been updated in ages. AeroLopa is hands down the better resource for seat maps and configs.
