LHR to LAS [which type of 777?]
Hi.
I booked a return flight from Las to LHR in december. I have read many different opinions on wich aircraft that will be operating this route! is it the 3 class or 4 class 777, and will it be one of the old 777 or will it be one of the upgraded aircrafts?

I used the search engine on seatexpert and it said 777 4 class, so I it confused me a bit
)
When you say that they will be upgraded, are we almost guaranteed an aircraft with AVOD? Or is it possible that they will use a old 777 ?

All of BA`S 777 a/c fleet have now been fitted with the NGCW seats as for the AVOD you will have this on your flight as all 3 class 777 a/c are fitted with the Rockwell Collins system, its only some of the 4 class 777 a/c that still have the GMIS system which will not have AVOD.
Hope the above helps.

There seem to be two types of 3-class 777 with NGCW seating. I flew to Delhi recently and booked 2E/2F for myself and my wife because they have the best access (for middle seats). On the outbound journey it was correct, but on the return we were in the middle a normal 4 seat middle row with another two or three rows in front. Does anyone know how many planes there are with this config?
