the change from A380 to 777 or A350 is a seasonal issue and effects LHR as well as FRA during low Season
from the European destinations only CDG seems to get the A380 all year round

773

Can report that I flew in C on 777-30ER last night BKK-AKL with a fantastic crew and good service. First time in years that I have flown Thai. If the return trip is on a 772 that's no great disaster as it is a daytime flight. It was the overnight flight I was more worried about.

Great outcome. I have been watching FR24 ever since my own period of changes in late April. Goodness knows when the 789 will come back into service.

Presumably it's part of the worldwide problems with engines on the 789

Good to see some 77W featuring on BKK-AKL-BKK, and much less 772. Hopefully this remains the situation until a resolution for 789 engines is implemented.

shouldn't the 772 have been refurbished for quite some time now? at least the ER type...
