Hello. My first post 😊
I'd booked 62K on the 747 upper deck LHR-LAX for May next year. I received an email this morning confirming the seat change to 50A on the upper deck of an A380, but noticed this seat has no window, so I quickly manually changed it to 53K, as per my return. It may be worth checking if and how your seat reservation has been automatically altered.
I really hope things are more 'normal' next year, because this will be my first ever CW/business class experience. I'm just pleased it's showing as an A380 currently!

SAN (San Diego) flights in December 2020 and Jan 2021 are switching to 787-9 with 2 rows of first class.
Also dropping daily flights on Tues and Saterdays.
Then in May 2021 the flights are using 777s with club suites and no first class.
I don't know when the change from 787-9s to 777 with club suites is happening.
I just got a notice that my upper deck seat reservations for a May 2021 flight had changed.

Just had our seats to SAN in May 2021 moved from 747 upper deck to 777 seats 2E and F. Was a bit concerned as there was no seat map and thought they would be in the old club world. Happier now that they are Club suites.

Checked last night and my DEN-LHR-DEN RT (April 18, 2021 - May 4, 2021) had changed from a 747 to a 787-9. Didn't get a seat change e-mail because they put us in the same seats as the 747. (2A/2K) The wiki says a 777-200 so might need an update as I have seen other report that it appears Denver will be served by a 787-9 from here on out.

MMB doesn’t show a seat map for me either. Mine is a booking through a cruiseline, so I was able to go to their website and under the flight info for my cruise booking, I was able to go in and see the CS seatmap. I also had the ability to choose seats. I’ve stuck with 3E/F, which is where I landed when I lost 63A/B from the original 747 flight as I don’t believe there is much difference in the middle pairs on a 3 class 772.
