    I was under the impression that all the 777s flying to JFK out of Heathrow had note been retrofitted with Club Suite.

    Just wanted to share a data point that on today’s 2pm flight, they’re still running the ying-yang. So if this is important to you, I suggest checking the layout of your potential flight carefully before choosing

    It’s something they try to do but given the still relatively limited number of planes with CS sometimes they do need to substitute.

    They changed my 2pm flight in January a couple of days before. I only realised because the seat map changed. Most people wouldn’t likely even notice. It was CS when I booked the week before.

    Same day change (if available) may be your salvation but there not always possible / ideal.

    Agreed; what’s ideal is waiting till they’ve retrofitted the entire fleet. I’d stick with AA ex-LHR till then (if you must do OW direct)

    Well that sucks. 🙁

    BA0173 and (thankfully as I didn’t check it when I booked) BA0116 are CS.
