Nothing is for sure, but I'd say highly likely you will. Bear in mind J won't be the Club Suite though.

[QUOTE=alexwuk;31248801BKK/EZE/GCM ex-LHR will still be flying with the legacy unrefubished-BA CW product.[/QUOTE]

I'm happy that the BKK route keeps the old planes so we don't go to 10 abreast in economy class,
I don't care of the old IFE as i use my own Ipad to watch movies but i personally like the old seat which in my opinion is much more comfortable then the new one.
And did i mention already that it is 9 instead of 10 abreast.

G-RAES is back next weekend. The refurb should be done by now as it’s now on the 2 week no-fly policy as it’s the first of the type to be refitted with these particular cabins. I.e club suite. If someone can get some pictures that would be lovely

As I understand it No revenue fly till the 5th of October when it flies back to LHR and then off to JFK on the 9th. I believe because it’s the first refit for the type it has to go through that. I think it’s safety policy within BA

My guess is, being the first of type, they need to do some sort of electrical soak test or abuse testing. So, repeatedly powering on and off, for example. I seem to remember a fatal SR flight that caught fire following an upgrade to the IFE system.

Anyone know if the front bassinets rows of Y of the refurbed gatwick planes have any moveable armrests or are they all fixed? I know on some planes (high j 747) there will be one fixed but one moveable one.

CS fitted 777's

At the moment my planned flight to SEA on BA49 on February 13th 2020 has CS's. Does anyone know if there are any other changes to the cabin apart from the new seats ?

Excuse the direct response but what do you mean? Are you referring to the business cabin or just the cabin in general?

There’s plenty on FT & YouTube about the new Club Suite. The main attraction is the suite itself. Hopefully you can clarify.
