Is 772 being replaced with 35K on BA183?
According to FlightAware, BA183 LHR-JFK has always flown a 777 version. However, for several days now the plane has been changed to 350-1000 with no First class cabin. I originally booked 2 First Avios seats on 777-200. What are my options if my flight is on the 350? Thank you in advance.
Btw, I tried to change for an earlier flight, but no First redemption flights available.

JFK has only ever had the graceful visit of a BA A35K two times in the past. The first being the reopening of UK-US air travel after the pandemic, and the second when the 5G issue happened and they werent able to send out any 777s to the US.

I absolutely disagree - since the retirement of 744 its my favourite for Club. Comfy, great air systems and they seem to keep the cabin temperature acceptable overnight so you dont get slowly cooked and wake up with a sore head. I choose a window seat in row 15/16 and its great. If theres any small food service issues cant say Ive ever noticed.
