I'm booked on 873/872 in Feb 2010. I can't imagine ending up with an old style seat overinght, instead of the lie-flat.

I was shocked to see CX uses 773 ( not 74A nor 77A) to fly 870/879 The 773s are equipped with the old model chairs for J class ( took one time 8 years ago) and the seating layout for 773 shows no F class.. What the hell! Why not 77A? The old business class chair on 773 is not good.. |
Looks like they switched back to the 744 for CX 879 for flights from April.

Thatīs depressing, I was hoping for the 74A for my flight in April. Its bad enough that they upped the J prices by around $250 last week.

I've got 1A/1K with mrs. gleff coming up, but for our 3 F segments on the 777 we're doing 1D/K since the seats at least open facing each other. Is 1A/2A somehow superior for couples?
I will see a smaller cabin is nice once you're in it, bathroom luxury aside. And I do find the 777 to be a smoother ride, less prone to turbulance. I actually switched us to the CX873, so we are back in 1A/K. I like the timing of this flight and it saves us the cost of a night's hotel stay, so it's better. Hopefully there won't be any further changes b/w now and March. |

Bummer. I hope they keep 873 74A, I really think F is superior on the 747 vs 77A.

I believe it will eventually be switched to the 77A also. Isn't the purpose of the 77A is to avoid those winter tech fueling at TPE/ICN that has been hammering LAX/SFO with the 747s?

I just purchased my SFO-HKG-SFO ticket leaving mid April on flight CX879. Its still showing 74A.

Hey relax!! Do an F dummy booking for any dates for 879/0 and you'll see FC being sold. Only one type of 773 has F and that is the 77A which is new not old. The regional 773s don't even have F to begin with and don't have the range to fly nonstop to SFO.
