New Club World to/from Vegas?
Hi all,
Got a trip to Vegas coming up and wondering if I can expect the new (well I suppose now not so new!) club service and products? BA website, and the thread here, seems to suggest so but I know it'll be one of the old 52J 747's which hasn't been refurbished (boo) and not sure if that has an effect at all?
Thanks all!

My understanding is that the LHR-LAS route uses the older non Super-J planes. For your sake I hope I'm wrong!
Do you have the flight booked? You should be able to see from the seat map how big the cabin is on the main deck. Even if you're not booked you could do a dummy booking (seat selection is one of the last steps before payment).
Alternatively post up the dates and flights and someone would be able to check easily.

Refurbished interiors and the new service are entirely unrelated. The only effect of plane constraints on the new service is that some cabins have end up having more elements of hand delivered service rather than trolley but that's all. The thread that you mention is up to date (to my knowledge) and certainly there is no "downgrading" of routes so if your route is listed as new service that is what you are getting.
