I have a feeling this thread is going round in circles. The situation for now is the same as 10 posts ago and as 100 posts ago so the answers have not changed.

for now, ba are offering cs on all their nyc flights bar exceptions/equipment shortage which affects some flights. (And there is always a small possibility things might change). For everywhere else, there is no guarantee and allocations are not per destination. As more and more frames are equiped, Cs is increasingly likely but not guaranteed on any other destination and anyone asking if we know if it will be club suites to xxx (where xxx is not in nyc) in yyy (any month) is asking an impossible question as all anyone can do is check seat maps for now which anyone can do creating a mock booking for their flight/day knowing equipment may well change in a day, a week, or a month.

At least I've got club suites tonight to make up for being on gate A10 with a premium bus
And to cap it all, after 15-20 mins crammed onto a Covid free bus, they've taken us off as the aircraft hasn't been cleaned or security swept.

Yup, agree with this. Even the usually reliable BA281/280 flights from LHR-LAX haven't been on any of the retrofitted 777-300 as of the last week

My original A380 flight from LAX this coming Friday wasn't gonna make my LHR connection to OTP so I called and switched to the earlier flight and lo and behold; it's the old 777 product and the worst seats possible

But ultimately no different to the A380 Club World seats that you'd originally booked onto.

True to a certain extent however the A380 has a quieter cabin, fresher air and my seat selection was great.

It does seem random allocation and this will always happen when you have one type of aircraft with multiple seat configurations like the BA777. Qatar has this issue a lot more with its Qsuite aircraft.
Both my A380 flights to LAX next year have been pulled and substituted by BA for 777. Both are currently in Club suite configuration but I would not be surprised if it changes to old school Yin and Yang.

My LHR-BGI in May/June have changed to 14F, old CW 777s. I'm assuming this is 77R. Are these three frames (G-VIIV, G-VIIW, G-VIIY) due to be refitted? Are these old LGW frames? Obviously a lot can change between now and then - I was just interested really. We're in F so other than a small cabin, it has little impact.

It is interesting that at least 1 or 2 of these LGW frames will be in LHR next May / June to service this route. The issue with a retrofit for them was that they were actually upgraded in 2019 to have the latest IFE in CW and new WTP and WT seats / carpet etc. fitted - so to pull all of that out again to fit in the CS would be a large loss of money for BA - so I expect them to solider on for a while as 3 odd-ball 4-class aircraft, possible until retirement given they are 22yrs old already.

Has F gone completely from LGW now? Looks like these birds used to be regulars on the BGI route from LGW pre-pandemic so from that perspective I guess it makes sense. Will probably be the tattiest F seats out there, though!

Interestingly - G-VIIA is due back into LHR from CWL around 5.30pm this evening. This will be the planes first flight since April 2020 - so I'm very surprised it hasn't done at least one circuit around CWL or the UK in general to test things out, but would suggest a post further up the thread that it has also been fitted with the CS and an 8F cabin are true!

Update: G-VIIA now back at LHR, so Wiki has been updated.

Yeap, LGW has no F at present. 2 of these birds are currently in storage but G-VIIY is serving various Caribbean and Florida routes from LGW with the F cabin being used for any spill over from CW in a FLUB configuration.
