Lon - Del
Sorry to revive a dead thread but I was planning on going to Delhi because the 787-9 is supposed to be the aircraft they use for this route. However, when searching for avios redemption on the ba website as well as various flight data sites it states the aircraft is a 777? Anyone have any info on this please?

If ba.com and other sites are telling you that 777s are planned for your flight dates, then they are almost certainly correct about that.

Aircraft types on routes do change. I don't know where you got the information that DEL is supposed to have the 789. The information about DEL in the wikipost to this thread seems to date back to flights in August 2016, so many changes could have happened on the route since then. I think that at present, there's a mix of 747s and 777s (one each per day), and then it'll be double-daily 777s from the end of March.

its stated here
https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...boeing-787#787
however, when going on to book it states 777. As you stated it must’ve changed and they haven’t updated the page.
Is the 777 F experience inferior to the 787-9? Or would they offer the same experience? As shown in the 787-9 ba webpage

But presumably the website has not been updated (and they make the caveat about operational changes anyway, so all somewhat moot I guess....)
Edit: beaten to it.

I am booked for next March in Club on a 789 flight from LHR-HND. mmp is showing the seat map including First seats within the Club inventory (assume Firstis being removed from Tokyo route). Row 1 is showing as available, when I click to book there I get an error message. Have called Exec club and they state they are blocked for ‘Crew Rest’. Am I right in thinking that the 789 has crew bunks, is it likely that these will be used for Crew rest or released as Flub seats?
