777 refurb clarification
 
Sorry if I'm just slow on the uptake, but I read in another thread that all EK 777 will be refurbished by September. Does this mean that they will ALL have:

- ICE
- Business Class: the " Type "E" New lie-flat seats with 72" pitch (best choice)"
- First Class, either Suites or "Type "B" New, flat-bed First Class. 70"+ seat pitch with minibar (2nd best choice)" ?

Yes and no.

They will all have ICE.
They will all either have Suites or the Flat-Bed seats in First.
However, some 777-300ERs will still have the non lie-flat cradle seat in J. AFAIK these will be refurbished after the 773s.

Thanks again... can you say what is a 773 vs a 777-300 ER? Just an non-ER 777-300?

And I guess you are saying that for the ER, they will refurb F but not J ?

777-300 are non ER versions. Currently we have:

non refurb 777-300s - old F old J old Y
refurb 777-300s - new F lie-flat J new Y

non refurb 777-300ERs - new F newish J (not lie-flat) new Y
refurb 777-300ERs - new F (skycruiser or suite depending on plane) lie-flat J new Y

the 'non refurb' 777-300ERs will be refurbished in J to provide lie-flat seating.

Cheers,

Thanks! One last question, if I may: what about two-class 777300 ER: are they due for refurb too?
