Nearly all flights will be on a “Gatwick” 777. These have been refurbished so have up to date IFE etc but retain the old “ying yang” seat in Club World. But arguably these seats are more suited to a route with lots of family travel !

A small chance you’ll either go on a CS equipped 777 or an even smaller chance you’d end up on one of the 3 remaining unrefurbished 777s but these are usually Heathrow based
