Thanks for all of your replies. I'm leaning towards going via LHR on the outbound, mainly due to the fact that if I pay for J I want a flat bed. The other option I never considered is via MAD with IB on A330 outbound. Anyone any experience?

I disagree here is it's a new PMAA A321 then it has IFE, which is nice.
(32B merely means it's an A321 with Sharklets wingtip devices and doesn't equate with much of anything else.)

Do you think AA71 from DFW to LAX on 1/18 has the same situation?
aa.com is stating this as a 777, AA Cargo widebody schedule is showing this as a 777 as well. However, the seat map or view my trip both shown the aircraft as 32B.
If it is a 32B, not sure if I should try flying on the 788 two hours later

Hi all
I'm looking to fly DUB-JFK in J in May with decent fares currently on offer with BA/AA. I'm OneWorld emerald so want to stick to the alliance.
DUB-JFK direct is 752 or I could route via LHR for same price and fly on 772. My questions are;
Will the752 likely be one of the upgraded ones and if so is it a decent ride? Or am I better to go via LHR and fly 772? Alternatively I could always fly BA 744 which I usually do but would like to try something new (or am I best stick with tried and trusted?)
Thanks all (and merry Christmas)

When you say upgraded 752, what upgrade are you talking about? All international AA752s have the same seats.

There are currently 3 different J seats on the international 757s.
The LUS recliners, LAA NGBC seats and the "upgraded" CIP 757s with fully flat B/E seats.
