Hmm... Given that Privilege Style has only one 777, it must be this one:

Not sure I'd be fully happy with the change. Probably I'd ask for the re-routing with another OW carrier, but maybe that is just me.

Had the pleasure(?) to fly that in May when AY was wet leasing it for the HEL-JFK route. The 2-3-2 layout for the Y+ (Economy comfort while running AY flights) on the LOT B787 is one of the stupidest I've seen... In Y+ the screens are all in the armrest of the seat and this makes it quite a big exercise for the one sitting in the "middle of the middle" section to get out, and go to the lavatories, etc.

Their own website says they will fly this plane from December and it will be
"1 x Boeing 777-200ER, con capacidad para 299 pasajeros"
which is the exact same number of "pasajeros" it took when it was an Asiana bird. So we only need to find out how it looked before it was handed over from Asiana.
