First flight of B77W A6-ENF today as EK372 DXB BKK. This aircraft seems to be in a 2-class configuration.

B77W frames are following up each other at a fast pace. A6-ENE and A6-ENF have already been delivered in 2013, and A6-ENG has just been painted and flown back from PDX to PAE to start customer testing. Now A6-ENH has been rolled out at PAE, still unpaintented and will have its first flight early in the week.

1) Is A6-ENA a 73J or 73H config? Logic dictates it be 73H with new IFE screens but EF displays it as 73J
2) What is a 73K config? A6-END

I saw a code of 73K pertaining to CO aircraft as a 735 with winglets installed. Dont know if that is interchangeable with your question.

Another B77W has rolled out at PAE, meaning that 3 B77W are lined up for delivery in the next month: A6-ENF, A6-ENG and A6-ENH.

You are right of course, I stand corrected. ENG, ENH and ENI are coming up.

A6-ENH had its first flight on Friday, so the situation at PAE is as follows:
c/n 1076 A6-ENG in full paint, awaiting delivery
c/n 1080 A6-ENH unpainted, about to be tranferred to PDX for paint
c/n ? A6-ENI rolled out, awaiting first flight
All 3 aircraft may be delivered in February, although ENI may slip into March.
Meanwhile at XFW, A388 A6-EEF is coming up or delivery, likely this month as well, and this aircraft may be the 100th A380 to be delivered, and at the same time EK's 32nd frame.

How do you find out what routes the new planes will be doing? I really want the a330 and a340s gone!
