BA5/6 to NRT 772 and 773 scheduling

Going to Tokyo soon, outbound JAL to HND, inbound BA from NRT.

return flight is showing 773 but has changed several times since booking.

Looking on The BA source website there is no consistency in metal deployment. Most BA routes schedule the same metal each day. Why is BA5/6 not the same?

Will be very disappointed if it reverts to 772.

I’ve got exit row seats booked. If it does revert to 772, will I still get the seats I paid for?

No you won’t so keep an eye on the flights, you will get a refund but I’m sure getting an exit seat is more important to you.

My LHR-NRT-LHR flights in late November were initially showing as 777-300s but were both 772s at OLCI stage.

It was also mentioned here: Why so many NRT HND flights cancelled this week?

Just economy, but picked over BA for the extra seat pitch and the more convenient departure time exLHR.

Rolling schedule changes for Japan due to the 787 issues as discussed in this thread that I posted in as well
