The 77W's utilized on the ORD flights only have the latest version of the the B77W Business Class product, the same as found on the planes that feature the "Game Changer" First Class. However the First Class seats on those aircraft are the old ones in 1-2-1 configuration. You will find though the same lavatories as on the Game Changer with updated designs and a more spacious layout.

As of Dec 1, the new F will return to EK77 NCE and EK85 ZRH.
Changes are in effect until the end of March, but schedules beyond March have yet to be finalized.

Alright, I know EK41/42 isn’t daily, but still
I do wonder what prompted the change. Complaints? Up until last week, NCE was consistently getting the EBx and ECx 77W’s—those planes look tired

Just joined to ask if there is any further information on this. From what I have heard in Scotland GLA is expecting EK25/26 back shortly (early next year is what I have been told). EK continues to hold slots at EDI apparently, but are likely deterred by QR.
