FrequentlyFlyingParticipantWe have an upcoming flight LHR – SAN with BA, originally this was an A350 out and 777 home, no F being sold so CW it was.
Subsequently BA changed the aircraft to a 777 (how it always was in the before times before they stuck the 747 on the route) thinking F may be available now I checked on the BA site to see this………..Club world – Front cabinYou are selecting a flatbed seat at the front of the aircraft which was previously our First cabin and is now sold as Club World. Some elements of the product and service may differ between the First and Club World cabins.
The front 2 rows are F configured ie 1 – 2 – 1
Are they the big old F chairs still or have they fitted the entire cabin with CW seats?
Thanks

TimFitzgeraldTCParticipantLooking at random dates in October the 777 looks like a 3 class with no F on the dates I’m looking at with all seats in new CW Suites cabin
From November plane switches to a 4 class 787 sold as 3 class so first 2 rows would be the “F” seat.

AMcWhirterParticipantWorth bearing in mind that these are unusual times in aviation and nothing can be considered definite so far in advance.
In particular you would be travelling out in the winter 9i.e. using winter schedules) and returning in April when airlines introduce their summer schedules.

TimFitzgeraldTCParticipantSo yes a 4 class 787 outbound at the moment with 8 F seats blocked out (might allocate seats depending on loads) and 777 on the return with 14 F seats but sold as 3 class. This far out a lot could change and different aircraft be put on or might even sell F seats on it again. The 777 could easily be switched back to a plane with the Club Suite product.

superchrisParticipantA couple of years ago I travelled on a club europe Avios ticket to Madrid and ended up in F on a 777!

You might encounter the same if flying to Madrid next month with BA’s A380 (which will also be operating to Frankfurt).

CAIParticipantJust tried ‘dummy bookings’ in Eco and Bus. 22/11 LHR 15.15 – MAD 18.45 and 26/11 MAD 20.05 – LHR 21.20 when A380 scheduled. On seat maps for both flights the whole of the upstairs has been blocked out, as is F cabin.
Conversely Iberia schedule A350 on some LHR-MAD flights and, when logged in with my BA Silver number, I could book Eco but choose seat in Premium Economy for no extra cost.21 Oct 2021

DerekVHParticipantWhen the A380’s were first delivered and used for Training flights the upper deck was never used. There were only circa 200 passengers loaded on the A380 which I suspect done in case they had to revert back to an A320 for any reason. It made for a very powerful takeoff with such a light load on the aircraft – highly recommended!
