BA F Avios Inventory LHR<->HND
Can I ask if anyone was successful grabbing any avios seats in F with the reintroduction of the cabin later this year? Insider source has said 'our Revenue Management team...advised that Avios availability for First on this route has been released where applicable, and this began when we announced the change to the 4-cabin service', but I saw nothing via SeatSpy despite setting up an instant alert.
Grateful for any insights.
I see zero avios F seats for HND/PEK/PVG for the next 12 months...

I also have an interest in this although I am not sure it is applicable to my flights which are next May/June as I thought I read the retintroduction of the 4-cabin service was for a certain time only? If a permanent change, then I shall continue to keep an eye out. Secured J redemptions already.
Currently they are running a B789 - so Club World although hoping by next year they will be Club Suites - but didn't think they ran F on these routes due to the length/leaving the seats available for crew rest?

Unlikely that the 789s will have the suites by next year, they've only just started retrofitting the 788s and the first retrofitted 788 isn't expected to reenter service until October iirc, so 789s won't see CS until the back end of 2024 at the earliest.

Ah, OK thanks. I'll not get my hopes up.

First isn't used as crew rest on the HND 789. It's simply an overspill if Club loads exceeds the CW cabin and they need the extra 8 F seats.
