Equipment ZRH - SFO

I'm looking at LX 38 ZRH - SFO in business. Kayak says operated by Swiss Global. Seatguru says it's a codeshare operated by Belle Air and won't show a seat map.

Is this a regular Swiss aircraft? Any concerns?

There is no "Belle Air" - Seatguru must use an old lookup table for the ICAO code of Swiss Global.

It's the LX B777 aircraft. Plently of info on that plane in this forum.

This is the seat map:
LX 77W

Free advice: Don't ever use SeatGuru to look up a particular flight. It's worthless for that purpose.

ZRH-SFO gets LX's newest long-haul type and the T7s are very nice in C and F. Would try to avoid it in Y (10 abreast).

As always, Seatguru is utter crap. Avoid at any cost and just look at the LX website...

The link above shows the seat map on seatguru which should not be trusted.

The seat map on swiss.com may be found here.

The SeatGuru maps themselves are generally useful (and this one is accurate). What you can't rely on SeatGuru for is identifying the aircraft on a particular flight.
