BA – Long Haul – Boeing 788 vs 789

[roger]

I have a booking in Club World and which does not have fist class (confirmed by seat map and ticket sales) as the flight could be operated by both 788 or 789. As we know some (ALL?) 789 do have first class seats. What are my chances of getting first class seat on club world tickets?
Is there anything I could do to improve my chances? I am on 7K and would like to move to 1A or 1K.

The only way to be able to move into an F seat on a non F route but operated by plane with F is if CW is overbooked and they need to roll forward people.

This isn’t something you can do anything about in advance.

If it does you’ll still only get CW service.

Thanks, @chrisC.
It is probably unlikely based on current seat map as flight is due soon!
