AMM, BEY, and DME -- and also CAI?

Any European Summer 2017 routes these are flying on? Very much enjoyed it coming back from Rome last July!

I've heard this for a few months now, 777 or 787!

Welcome to Flyertalk Tom87, and in particular we need to welcome you to the BA forum, we're very happy to have you here and I hope that we will see more of you. Thanks for that information, it's certainly an improvement on the old 777s though it wasn't so long a go they could fill jumbos to Cairo.

This aircraft will be on a third rotation to TLV starting with the summer schedule, I believe.

Is there any update regarding the conversion of two of these to shorthaul config? I believe it was supposed to be in Jan and Feb.

I'm also going to CAI in March, but in the back. Are the seats as good as a 777 as mentioned up thread? Or are they the sardine can of an A319-320?

Different styles to both. And yes, there is AVOD. No particularly good seats in Y on those aircraft except perhaps the exit row (20).

G-MEDL returned to the fleet today in her new 205 seat config. It is believed all the other ex-BMI mid-haul A321's are to be converted over the coming few months so enjoy them while you can.

It doesn't surprise me to be honest... a subfleet of 5 is pretty small, and the 767s are on their way out and need "replacing"...
The question is, what is to happen to BEY/AMM? I've heard certain rumours of 787/777, any truth? It would be commercial suicide to move to a shorthaul config on those routes!
