Not possible to book an award in La Premiere on 777?
I was just playing around to see what award options there are in La Premiere from CDG to LAX. I know they fly both the A380 and 777 on this route. Were one to drop 200k miles, I'd really want the 777. However the only option given is the A380.
Does AF not allow award flights on the 777 in that amazingly beautiful new cabin?

[edit]
It seems 4-cabin 777 only flies on certain days and during summer they might only fly a 3-cabin 777. But there are others to can give you that information much quicker and more accurate then I

Interesting. Thanks for that. I checked against if I were to spend € and the flight was available that day. I was looking for the 23rd of Dec for no specific reason. Like I said, just playing around. I was thinking if the misses and I were to ever move back to the US I'd like to leave A'dam in style! Sadly we've blown through our balances as of late so getting up to 400k would be a struggle.
Good to know that's it's possible though.

Yeah, searching around Christmas wasn't the smartest choice! I looked far into the future and indeed the 777 was there. It's a pipe dream anyways, I was just curious. Unless a bucket load of miles lands in my account anytime soon it'll just be something to fantasize over. It must be one hell of an experience...

I could do it now but only for one person. As I'd like to stay married I think it's best to wait to be able to get 2, haha. That'd be a hard trigger to pull though as with 400k, one could get a good number of biz awards to/from US and Asia from AMS.
