Just had a quick look to check but this is a 12F seat 777-200ER, which has the old style J which are not club suites.
They seem to have put these on MIA on the 209/8 rotation as i am on the same type 2 days after you in December.
One positive is a ton of F reward availability opened up in December as a result of this change and I was able to upgrade my J seats to F, thus avoiding the flying dorm.

Thank you very much. I was very confused as I was in F and it did not have a 3K, 4K seat at all. A lot of digging later and I found that its a 77Z which has a crew rest/bunk in that space.
I am now confused about the IFE as the only thing on FT I could find said it was TES (which is the old old system?)
Cheers

Just received from BA: Your BA178 flight to London Heathrow on 11 Jan 2021 has been cancelled
All three of my future BA178 flights are now cancelled. I preferred the daytime flight home.

LHR-LAX W20-21 changes
It looks like the BA281/BA280 which has traditionally been a 789 is changing to a 777 from Monday 2nd November.
I got a 5 min schedule change for my early March 2021 flight and decided to take a look at the seat map.
Currently it 's scheduled to be a newly configured 8F/76J 777-300 with Club Suites on Mondays and Saturdays and an old config 777-300 with 14F/56J on the other days.

Really hoping that by Feb we Brits will be allowed back in (ultimate destination OGG so am really hoping the Hawaiian islands don't still have a residual exclusion).

I was re-assigned 2A, but changed it to 9K because... well, because I am completely unfamiliar with the long-haul A350 and have no idea where I should be sitting other than on the shady side.
