Flying from LGW via St Lucia to Grenada first week of August. What is my chance of getting NF – I am taking a friend who and it is her first time in First cabin so I was hoping for the new product rather than the older tired version (you always remember your first time in First no matter how many times you travel First after that)

G-VIIU goes to Bermuda more than any other destination at the moment. I flew it on June 7th from Barbados and it flew there again yesterday.

[GillyDee]

So is G-VIIU the only 777-200 with New First operating out of Gatwick at the moment ?

[Bucksnet]

Yes, so a 1 in 3 chance of getting it if you’re flying a route with first.

[BGIWorldTraveller]

It’s a bit less than 1 in 3 I’d say. For example, the BA2159 LGW-UVF-POS route has First, but not everyday and G-VIIU has only gone there once this month so far. They get maybe 4 4-class and 3 3-class 777s each week on this route.

It’s been the BA2233 LGW-BDA 8 times already this month

It’s been the BA2155 LGW-BGI 4 times already this month

So I’d say the best chance of getting it is going to Bermuda, followed by Barbados.

Hi CocktailLounge,

My wife and I are flying 777 to Orlando from Gatwick in April/May. Are you sure that all 777’s from LGW have first as I am in CW in row 3?

To clarify, not all 777s from Gatwick are fitted with a First canin (those without F are known as a “three class” 777, with Club World, WT+ and WT cabins only). These Three Class birds generally serve routes other than Barbados, Bermuda and (I think) St. Lucia.

Where the aircraft is fitted with F, and F is sold on the route your are flying, it will now be a new First cabin.

…a First canin ..
…your are flying…

3 lines, two errors. Usual sloppiness, back to school for KrugHandles.

[Markbetts123]

Many thanks.
I just hope it is new first.

[VintageKrug]

We have just explained, at some length, that it will be New First.

No need to “hope” at all.
