Aircraft Change
Afternoon all,
EK40 on 30/9 has gone from 2 class to 3 class (I know this as they have now assigned me seat 6K as opposed to 3K on MMB)
Do they change aircraft 3 weeks out? And is it worth snagging 9 / 10K instead instead of being right up by the toilets?

I've got this horrible feeling they are going to substitute it for a non - ER version because when you look at what's on your flight it mentions 600 channels of ICE.
First world problems perhaps but I thought all the newer and upgraded flight cabins had 1800 channels of ICE?
It's not that I want to watch all that telly, it's more the thought of the dreaded deeply reclining product on some of the non ER 300's
So I suppose the question is, does any of that deeply recling exist on the old 300s that are 3 class?

Not terribly concerned if it goes back to 2 class, its the 3 class with old product I was querying, not whether its likely to be subbed or not.

The few times I had this on a BHX flight you could sit in F but with J service.On one flight I moved up from J cabin after boarding and the other time I could chose seats in the F cabin under Manage my Booking

I've experienced 3-class plane on 2-class route. F is usually closed off with no pax. On one heavily overbooked occasion, some J pax were seated in F (sky-cruiser seats) with J service.
Regarding the ICE point: you can still have an 77W, just sometimes with older generation of ICE with the lower selection (A6-EB*). However, some of these have now been retrofitted with wifi and live tv while newer aircraft have not (yet).
I don't think there are any deep recline J seats left in the 777 now that the last 777-200 has been retired.
