Non-suite 747?

It's probably just the hangover, but I'm getting a really odd seat map on expertflyer for our upcoming New York trip. Are there any non-suite 747's still operating?

Yes, only one from LHR.

Joy. Looks like we've got it. AD-GK config. rows 1-20 sound right? No seat map on here for the old J2000 set up, can't remember the layout.

Don't worry, there are no non-UCS 747s. ExpertFlyer is showing the wrong seat map.

I thought there still was one non-ucs 747 operating out of LHR...?

no they have all been changed to Upper Class Suite.

Perhaps you are thinking of G-VXLG which is the only non-V:Port 747 out of LHR?

Yes, I guess so, I assumed that non-V:port also meant non-UCS. Another question now: Are the screen sizes for UCS the normal large type even without V:Port present?

Yes, just as before (with the J2000 setup), the screen size is completely independent of the IFE type.

If you look back to the older threads regarding the UCS upgrades, VS only intended to upgrade Arcadia systems to v:port when doing the refit. All Odyssey systems remained (and of course, Nova got it's little "tweak"...)
