A reasonably high chance on the TLV route I would guess.
If you consider the BA 777 fleet, the Gatwick aircraft have not had the refurb, none of the 3 class 777s have been refurbed..... Most of the remaining 4 class 777s have .

Great thanks! Although it was a few years ago, I havent flown on a BA 777 since, and the dirt and dinginess of that plane still haunts me!

Really, I fly on the all the time and have never felt that they were that bad that the thought would haunt me.
As said they is a very good chance of getting the new seats on the B777 to TLV.

Only around 50% of 4-class 772s have the NWT/NWTP/Thales products. 12F aircraft do not, most 14F aircraft do and all 17F aircraft do.

Does anyone know if any of the LHR-IAD routes have new WT+.

BA265 and BA293 operate on 777.

This link tells you which 772s have the 2010 WT+
This link tells you which aircraft have flown LHR-IAD

So, your chances are pretty good but not guaranteed due to some G-YMM_s and G-VII_s flying IAD. A quandry I am all too familar with.

Thanks for the info!

Will be nice to try the new WT+ if my UuA does not work to CW.

This flight usually uses G-VII* 772s, which have mostly been refurbished. Your chances are high.

BA 777
We are looking at flying BA 0098 YYZ-London Heathrow and also flying London-YYZ Flight 099 return(I am assuming theses will be the same planes)

Anyone know if these 777 will have an updated cabin with updated a WT+

I think you will need to check with BA. I flew the BA099 and BA098 over New Year and it was a 787. My trip in May (same flight numbers) has changed to a 747. I think it depends on when you are going.

They are flying the both 787 and the 777 from YYZ. And I thought I also saw a flight with the 747 too. We are flying in July. So still aways off. I know they have quite a few 777 -200 so I am Hoping the chance of getting a updated WT+ is better.

We have the option of the 787 but a review I read said the window seat of WT+ is really cramped up to the fuselage if that's the case I don't want to be uncomfortable.

I thought 295 was usually a 773?

Ok, July does seem to have 777 for those flight numbers. All I can say is that a 777-200 is usual to YYZ and a quick check on FT Dashboard shows 15 different ones used so far this year, of which 13 had newer WT+

I only have experience of CW on the 787 so can't advise on WT+ seating.

It has been recently, but it's a mix of 77W and 772.
