As a small consolation prize given that the PHL flight back to LHR was delayed by 3+ hrs last night, the plane was actually one of the few if not the only NNCW retrofitted 777. Story goes the incoming flight had a tech issue, turned back to LHR and plane got changed to the NNCW 777, then again that flight was 5.5 hr late...
I must say it certainly improves the flying dormitory by a long way.
First the seats being higher, it is more private once you sit down and you have less of an open view. BA fitted 3 cheesy round lamps hanging from the ceiling in the middle but the new grey/brown colours of the partition at the start of the cabin with wooden magazine racks look a lot better.
Definitely an improvement over the now tired NCW cabin hoping they complete the roll out sooner than later.
Noticed the floor seem to be reinforced with braces in few places as mentioned here a while back...
