I have a flight in Q1 and the trusty My Flights app notified me this morning of the aircraft change to a 789.....

Has also added 10 mins to the flight time!

Austin will get 4-class service 787-9 from 22FEB16, instead of 01FEB16.

Snap!

Note that you should check seating as CW is 2-3-2 vs 2-4-2

Has it been disclosed which of the two DEL flights the 787-9 is on? The morning BA 143 or the evening BA 257? Or is it both? Thanks.

As far as I can see it's BA257 / BA256, but not every day.

There been a few F seats to and back from KUL released today in Apr/May - I've changed an itinerary and got F return to KUL end of Apr into May. Firstly, really hoping to get 789 but showing 777 on schedules - any rumours if this will still be on the route out of the winter into summer?? Also, first time in 12F any seat recommendations? Cabin wide open

Yes, the longhaul 767s used to have 8F seats when First flat beds were introduced in 1995. First on the 767s was phased out in the early 2000s.

Thanks! I have a booking on the 256 and 143 in Dec. Will check it out if it now shows as a 8F cabin.
