777 lhr - sin 1st class upgrade
Hi there 
I am flying LHR to SIN on BA15 on 9th sep. i just wondered if this 777 plane might have the new 1st class installed on it?
I've heard the 1st class in the 777's is quite poor, and if this is the case i might book with another airline.
can anyone advise me on this? Many thank,s james

First in the 777 is just as good as on the 747. Some find it better, since all seats are more or less the same, unlike in the 747. It is no SQ-F but it is also far less expensive.

I dont see how F on the 777s can be any more poor than the 747. From what i can see it is probably better as you dont have that annoying broken cupboard at the front squeeking open or feel like you're piggy in the middle sat in 4ef. Its probably quieter as well as I find 1ak a bit noisy on the 747.
