I did! There were 2 other pax in F, one of whom appeared to be crew as they were talking to the crew about their subsequent rotations. J was far from full so we could have easily been accommodated in that cabin had they wanted to close F off.
All things considered it was a fantastic day culminating in watching Carmen at Teatro Real in Madrid!

Rules dictate has to be able to take off / go around at takeoff weight on one engine I believe (in case of a significant failure after V1). So yeah, it'll shift.
Remember it'll be carrying WAY less fuel as well. That same plane does eg Lima I believe

I couldn't quite figure out what the routing was for that 787. Doesn't seem to be daily out n back LHR>>MAD>>LHR. Didn't have time to try and look it up on flightradar or wherever.

Seat map not showing on MMB
Booked on 787 from Madrid next week but no seat map's been showing since I booked it. Is this normal?
Also, sorry if answered already but didn't find, do they open up premium economy seats, or is that just for golds?

PE seats are open for all in Y to reserve if I recall correctly, the PE cabin has always been full whenever I've taken this flight - think it's just the F cabin that is blocked off for golds when J is full

Thanks, for some reason I'm getting no seat map in the seat selection function on MMB - both in the app and on the website. Am silver so should be able to select. Got row 30 pre allocated, so not that bad, just curious why it's not working.

Booked on BA461 on Saturday and it looks like it has been swapped from B789 to A320 - how disappointing.
It operated on B777 for the last two days, and today it looks like it’s scheduled to be on B763.
Strangely enough, IB codeshare (what I’m booked on) still shows as B789, both on IB app and EF.

Thanks again for advice. Just looked at Expert Flyer for Monday 13/11 and it appears to be showing all Premium Economy blocked (rows 16 - 21 inclusive) is that right?
