Non VS Guru Required - BA LHR EWR

[Decker]

Got to do a couple of EWR runs over the next couple of months and BA are half the price for Club (until June 7th) as VS for UC. So biting the bullet - there are three flights LHR/EWR daily. Anybody have any preferences? My immediate choice seems to be a 777.

Why are you flying from Kharkhorin Mongolia:D.

ROFL thanks for that - will modify KHR to LHR to more accurately reflect my plans

Looking at the seat map The 767 looks ok and they have just been refitted with the NCW seat.To be honest the 777 in NCW is a bit of a dorm,I know it is of no use to you but the 744 service to JFK on the upperdeck is superb not a get deal of difference to First.
Think I would go for a row 1(no stepping over legs to get out) on the 767 it's only 3 class so you are in the top class and should get better service a lot like some of the Caribbean routes.

Hmmm they block the first row although a couple of seats are down as occupied there?

Hmm...BA Golds? In any case available seats should open up at OLCI. Alternatively I usually find the 777 OK as long as I get 10D...

Not flown NCW, but I do know that

1) The 767 is the only way to get a forward facing window seat.

2) BA start to get AVOD shortly (next month?), and the 767 fleet will be the first to get it.

3) And finally, a 2-2-2 config on 767 looks much less crammed than the 2-4-2 on the 777

Thanks for your help chaps - looks like a 767 out 777 back.

IIRC not all 767s have been refitted with new cabins.

the only 767's left to be re-fitted are short-haul ones converting to long-haul.

All 767 longhaul flights should therefore be NCW.

Oh, that's good to hear.

ok,on the 772 try and get in row 10 D,E,F or G or row 15 E,F,been in both rows and they are great,personaly I prefer row 15 as in row 10 you can get people walking in front of you which can get annoying.
