How often does EK change aircraft?
Hey,
Does anyone know how often EK changes their aircraft and usually for what reasons? I have been lucky and have experienced none since I have been flying them, but it could just be my good luck
The reason I am asking if because I am trying to convince my travel party to switch our confirmed EK4 LHR - DXB seats which are on a 773 to EK16 LGW - DXB on a JY 772 because of the extra legroom and ICE IFE. However the 2 class 772 is the only acft (save the A340-500) to have this and an aircraft change would mean 3 people who are furious at me
Cheers

The flight is currently empty, so fingers crossed
