I am sure what you suspected could be plausible. But as things stand if all rumours are true, we might see B772 keep the current CW product until retired. Thus we may have 2-3 different CW products in LHR for ages to come...

Which B772ER routes from LHR would benefit the most from having newest CW and 10 abreast Y in terms of additional revenues. I can see this happening prior to B788s and B789s getting newest CW simply because there must be a better revenue opportunity, but only with the younger aircraft. Or perhaps none of them are young enough.

G-VIIV is on her way home to LGW, the first 4-class 10-breast refit in SIN. Due to land at 6.15pm approx.
Question: with new economy and premium economy seats fitted and newest Club World? (coffin style) seat fitted with the same white and grey shell and Panasonic TV....
Will F class get a seat spruce up? Or remain the same hard shell, tired hard product?

I thought the J cabin had replaced newer versions of the Club seat, like on the 787? Looks more grey, whereas the existing shells looked more cream? I'm sure I saw that in the photos taken and shown on FT of the LGW refitted aircraft.

- It appears a new configuration is out for the YMMx (LGW 3-class) with crew rest.
- Showing (32J 48W 256Y), a loss of 4 WTP but gain of 4 WT.
- This is most likely due to crew rest? It is showing on the CPT/LAS routes in Dec 2019 at least. Presumably on YMMC routes from when it is configured in May.
- As still 32J in the forward section so unsurprisingly it's likely to be normal CW (not new seats unless same density).

After a short break in the re-configurations, G-VIIW is currently heading east over Germany as BA9179 to Singapore for her refurb. I know due to RR 787 issues etc. BA have had a long haul frame shortage however they really are taking their time to getting all the LGW planes done!

Sorry if it’s been discussed. The last 2 777’s from LHR booked to be densified at the end of 2019 - whats the chances of them having new club world?

As for the 777-200s before then unlikely. Certainly not for Gatwick. Some of the newer LHR frames may do at some point but almost certainly not for another couple years.
