Beginning with flights that operate on November 1, 2005, the seat maps for 777 flights going forward will show the configuration for either the Flagship Suite (1-2-1 across) or the lie-flat international First Class seat (2-2-2 across) of the aircraft we intend to operate on that flight. These seat maps are now available for display in your GDS.
This was always the case for years even when they had different maps for coffins and suites based on the flight/date.. They also used to say that the FS was always for transatlantic service and how many times did we fly JFK-LHR and end up in a coffin?
"Intend" is just the lawyers' word for "don't blame us if you don't get a suite".
