I was able to revisit the new 777-300ER seat map and armed with fresh data have now amended the AeroLOPA maps

Hi all, booking seats (will have to pay for) BKK to AMS for a little ovet two weeks time. . . As it stands its a 777-200. The business class is 2.2.2.
Do the BKK to AMS 777's get swapped out that much. Don't want to book 2 (say a&c) seats and risk being moved and separated if the plane changes to a 777-300s that's a 1.2.1. If it's a regular occurance I might book the middle two seats that at least will exist on a 777-300.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Mark

Doesn't answer your question but i'd be tempted to book a one stop via CDG so you get 1-2-1 config if the price was still good. I've been tracking KL and AF BKK flight prices a lot recently and it always comes up as an option though varies a lot on whether less or more expensive.

Thanks. KLM was almost 50% less actually. In fairness we booked with 3 weeks to go but much better value than anyone else in business (one stop from Dublin that is)

Yes most of the dates I was looking at they are around 50% less but on a few random dates for the return leg (for me - BKK-EDI) AF was same price. Also when I siggested I though it was just BKK-AMS but if you are one stopping form DUB then I wouldn't. Agree on the value as KL is making it affordable for us.

Usually a OW flyer, but have a flight on KL from AMS to LAS next year on a 789. For a window fan, what is the best seat in J for window gazing?. From Aerolopa, it looks like 4K or 7K, but are there better?. All seats are available at the mo.

All the same except row 5 which has only one window where you really have to lean forward for a decent look outside. And if you want to see the wing then the last rows are better obviously.

Hi all, for a flight in an A330-200 (18 business class seats in 2-2-2 configuration), what are your preferred seats for travelling solo? Any difference between row 1, 2 and 3? Thanks in advance!

As with the old 777 config, bulkhead rows (that aren't in the middle) have a larger footwell so I'd recommend those if you don't mind being closer to the galley.

So is the greater risk of getting a 2-2-2 config now if a B773 swapped out for a B772?

This is the latest update - according to it, BVU is flying, one other is currently being swapped and all other are done.
(per FR24, BVV is supposed to be back in service tomorrow, which I guess means that BVU will maybe do 1-2 more days and then it's out as well.)
