- BA27 is operated by a 777
- The 777-300ER (77W) is the 777 variant usually operating to HKG.
- The aircraft that operates BA31 LHR-HKG on any day then operates the following day's BA32 HKG-LHR, and the aircraft that operates BA27 on any day then operates the following day's BA28.
- The northern winter 2019/20 information was last checked on 16 July 2019.
- As always, changes are possible. Northern summer 2020 is almost certainly unconfirmed, including at the season boundary at its beginning.

BA Hong Kong equipment changes
From 28th October 2018 the B777-300ER will be replaced by an A380 making HKG a fully A380 operated destination.
Update, 1125: Seems actually they have just swapped the aircraft types over. Same equipment remains just the B77W is on the earlier flight ex-LHR.
Just a heads up for people like me with seat reservations that have changed!

I have a booking for November in Y. I'd booked the late outbound due to the timing, even though it was the 777. Very pleased to see that it's now changed to an A380. However, both inbound options are basically at the same time, so I booked the A380, which has now changed to a 777. Do you think it's worth calling and asking to swap to the A380?

Makes sense for the LHR-HKG direction, if more people want to leave in the evening rather than mid-afternoon. But what's the point of swapping the HKG-LHR direction?! Both flights are within 15 mins of each other anyway...
