ARN-LHR Boeing 767
Just curios,why do BA operate such a large aircraft on this leg? Is it a positioning flight,or is this normally a busy flight?Due to do this trip in 2 weeks time on a Saturday night in CE and just wondered,have booked 3A,is this a good seat?
I like the 767 anyway,so looking forward to the flight.Thanks in advance.

Its a daily rotation and is busy the few times i have been on it.
on it again next monday and seat map is fairly busy.
Also freight can be a big reason for larger aircraft on some routes, not sure if that is the case here though?

I recall from my time as BA dispatch in CPH. We did hav B767 replacing the B757 on Wed/Thur/Fri for the two early evening departures, and the load was amazing.
The fact that CPH only have flights to PEK/NRT/PVG, all far-east traffic has to be dubbed else where and LHR is at such a great hub.

If memory serve me correctly then tend to put the jetty on at doors 1 so its good to be near the front if you want a quick exit.

If your not bother about a window then I have in the past gone for D or F seats more sideways room A&C can get snuggy. Plus its nice to have your glass of bubbles on the centre tray in the middle seats given you more room for playing or working on your pad or laptop.

last time I was in the ARN lounge I found it quite nice ... food was ok .. wine was nice ( if on tap ) ... lots of space , IMO better than a lot of other outsourced lounges ..
