I have flown B-16716 4 times in last two month in RL and can tell you as such.
B-16716 is now frequently used on SFO route. It only got the new Elite and Econ seats but not RL.

So you will get the new RL seats (touch screen control and better screen). But you do lose on lavatory.
I like the 77N HW better than 77A/M.

1 - there is no more AVOD box under the seat?
2 - with the new AVOD system?
3 - pitch remain the same (not smaller like 77A) and only the last few rows get squeezed with seats?
Thanks.

I suppose you are talking about the 77N->77M retrofit? Do Elite and Y have the new seats that:
1 - there is no more AVOD box under the seat?
2 - with the new AVOD system?
3 - pitch remain the same (not smaller like 77A) and only the last few rows get squeezed with seats?
Thanks.

But it did get new AVOD. I played with it for couple minutes while waiting for a friend of my who was flying in economy to come back from rest room.

surprisingly good.
But may be a lot of customer does not know there is wifi. The retrofitted jet only start to appear regularly since late summer.
not a lot of people using it. plus the flight is red eye both end. a lot of people just pass out.
