Sorry if this is the wrong place--first post, couldn't find a more obvious thread. I just noticed checking in for BA017 LHR-ICN tomorrow that instead of the usual 787-8, they'll be running a -9. Booked 7A to avoid stepping over anyone, but when I went to check in, I could select rows 1 or 2, which were singles instead of the usual doubles, and both facing forward. I called BA to be sure, and they said yup, it's a -9. I guess this is related to the engine thing?
In any case, if you're flying between LHR and ICN and booked in club, don't just check in -- have a look at the seat map!
If this is well known, again, sorry, but I thought I'd post just in case. I've gotten lots of good info of FT so wanted to help.

It's generally known on here that unless CW has more passengers than seats then the F cabin will be closed and this has happened even for those who could select a F seat, someone else nabs their previous CW seat and then they end up in a worse seat in the first place. See this thread and post as an example.

You may be OK but it is a risk being moved back out the F cabin but others have been lucky and if they do I believe it's supposed to be Gold and above but good luck and hope it sticks!
Here are the loads and all zeroed out.

I tried picking "Premium Economy" but get business class each time. I will try with the C:BA... that Cluster One suggested.
Cheapest possible gives me Coach, and that is just one step too far for me
Thank you all!

Booked LHR>BKK in CW £1600 each for 2 people in November - not a bad price - I was actually looking ex GOT but LHR direct was cheaper. Shame about the old 777s on the route

Agreed - GOT is around same price (slightly more) and gives you a route option via HKG (better plane I guess) but convenience of direct for that price I couldn’t miss !

I had kind of a chuckle after my attempt at a friendly 'great club seat, huh?' to the guy across the way was met with a look of pity for my provincial excitement...
