Change of plane
Our plane when we fly home from Orlando has been changed from a 747 to a 777.
It it looks like a 777-200, is this likely to be a refurbished plane or one of the old ones.
Our flight is on 14th August at 19:55pm.

If your flight is from MCO-LGW on BA, it has not been changed from a 747 to a 777, because BA does not operate 747s on that route (or at all to/from LGW). It may have been changed from one 777-200 configuration to another.
The chances of a refurbished 777-200 on that route are normally pretty high, since the refurbishment programme is well advanced, but your flight currently has an unrefurbished aircraft assigned. Equipment change is always possible.

Today our 747-400 from IAD-LHR is getting replaced with another version of the 747 and the seats in the three seat side I had reserved a week ago were changed to seats in the middle of a middle row. I am not happy. I've told BA I wasn't happy, but not sure they will do much on a full plane

Is this likely to be a refurbished plane?
Fully expecting it to change again though!!!
