BA15 - Is it really a 747? [LHR-SIN-SYD autumn/winter 2009/10 cancellations]
I have (I hope) a simple question to ask. Flying CW on BA15 all the way through to SYD in December. Up until today it has been a 777. Just now I thought I would check what seats were available and the seat map looks very funny - this is on ba.com.
The seat map loads up fine and the usual Heathrow (London) - Sydney BA15 etc... Club World Aircraft type:777 is as before BUT the seat plan allows me to select a seat on the upper deck....
So have BA changed this flight to a 747 or are they planning to put upper deck passengers in the overhead lockers?
thanks

There appear to be a number of schedule, frequency and equipment changes in progress for the winter schedule on this route.
Best to keep an eye on MMB and your Inbox but yes, it's quite possible that your flight has been switched to a 744.

At the moment the BA15 goes from T4 but as of end Oct will be going from the new terminal 3 at LHR, perhaps they have decided to change the a/c type as well as the terminal. This is a good thing as T4 at the moment is not a good place to be, and the new refurbished T3 should be a nice start for your trip.

BA16 is showing as a 747 already at the end of October. Is this likely to revert to a 777 between now and then considering that BA15 is supposedly a 777 until late November? I ask because my parents were booked on BA12 31/10 - which has been canx'd - and have been rebooked on BA16. Naturally, they would rather be on a 747 than a 777.

I have just been told that my flight to SIN at the end of Oct has been cancelled. I was on BA11 and have been transferred on to BA15. My first thought was that I have lost my upper deck seat, but it is showing as a 747. Fingers crossed...
