It is confirmed - the new First Class seat on the 777-200 is the same as the 787-9 First class seat!

Except that it's highly unlikely F passengers have paid the same fare as they saw J advertised for, the point is that they have paid a premium to be in F which needs to be deemed to provide adequate value or they will just pay for J instead. BA need to be careful that they don't potentially risk F becoming 'upgrade class' on this aircraft, as AA's international F frequently is.
Given the refrain which is posted again and again here that BA's F has '30% more space' than other reverse herringbone seats I'd also note that BA's F on the 747/777 makes poor use of the extra space (as an aside I'm not sure how they can both have 30% more space given the 747 seat clearly has much less personal space than the 777 to me). The seat may take up 30% more floor space than Club Suites but that doesn't mean there is 30% more usable space for the passenger - it has zero storage, poorly place power outlets and a lot of wasted space (e.g. by the window). This is before you consider whether there is any benefit to the privacy impact of the Club Suite door. Indeed, I look forward to that and the sooner the better. Personally, I have little use for usable space. I want space and the feeling of space. ...and even then the lack of usable space thing in F is a myth. You have a HUGE table, which when open still leaves you with a great feeling of space, if you need it... If you don't you easily have enough space to shelf everything else you may 'need'. Ultimately its this https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f85f34aec4.jpg vs this (only with yet one less row!) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eebaca778c.jpg |

Been sent a couple photos of the refreshed 777 F seat. It's the old seat with some 787 colours

I understand there is also discussion that the First cabin on the B788 may be reduced to just 4 seats when those aircraft are retrofitted with the new J suites.

Not really, it is a single aircraft that has flown just one flight with its new fitting with a cabin that has just 8 seats.

Where is the trip report? Where? I can't take this suspense any longer...
