I have published a flight report from a recent trip on the LX 77W. It was very empty. Hence, maybe it was not a so good idea by LX to upgauge from A343 to 77W.

I'm on the ZRH-SFO flight on 3/3 which was originally a A340, but now shows 777. I know the 777 are not supposed to fly on Fridays for that route. Anybody know any details, confirm? Or is this just a computer problem.

A340 is old and tired - but crew and food are great so if you bring ur laptop and ipad its kool And at least LX provides F assistant when in transit in HKG Compare this to CX F with no assistant!!!!!
Last summer had an A340 instead of the 777 from HKG to ZRH in F
A340 LX F reminds me of old TG F

Not sure if this is the correct thread for this, so admins please feel free to move.
Had two LX F flights this week and both crews confirmed that when the 5 remaining A340 aircraft are re-fit with new F, there will be a second bathroom added to the F cabin.
Additionally, due to the width of the plane, there will be no wardrobe on the F seats. However, there will be a fully closing partition, so from the outside of the 'suite' it will look the same when closed as the 777 F seats.
I don't usually put much faith to what I hear from "Galley FM" but both pursers seemed very informed and certain of what they were telling me.
