B747 refurb LAX-LHR
I am planning a trip for March and the flight back is either B747 or A380. Normally this isn't even a discussion it would be the A380 every time 
But as the B747 goes ~5 hrs earlier I was wondering if any of the people knew what state the interior would be (old/new/refurbed, etc). Unfortunately due to company travel it will be WTP

you can see here the history of aircraft that have flown this route over the last month
Route Tracker | The BA Source
This can give you an idea how likely you are to get on old/new/refurbed.
Also looking at the seatmap for the day of your flight will give an indication. If I remember correctly WT+ on the older 747 interiors are is between CW and F. on the refurbs its behind CW

All 747s in service have been refurbished or refreshed in some way. The tracker (see my signature) will show you which has what. The only in-service aircraft that has not had the work done is undergoing it now.
