What on Earth does 'fwiw' mean?
Whenever 3 class aircraft have been used to BHX in the past (other than the short period when a third service with a first class was offered), the first class product has not been available to book. Therefore, a '3 class' aircraft probably represents fewer seats available than normal.

Exactly. Which is what I said for what it's worth for. Must mean something to someone to post it previously and I'm just continuing that trend.

I know full well first class isn't used. Either two class aircraft needed on denser route or tech / delayed somewhere in the Emirates fleet.

I don't get why your getting uppity with me unless I haven't had enough coffee and just reading into something that isn't there.

Don`t worry Rich I know what fwiw means lol!

A6-EGX 3 Class 777 on EK39/40
First Class not sold which means not enough 2 class 777s

A6-EGV 3 Class 777 on EK37/38

According to SeatGuru.com, EK 777-300's are configured as follows -

B777-300 3 class layout 1 - 8 first, 42 business, 304 economy

B777-300 3 class layout 2 - 8 first, 42 business, 310 economy

B777-300 2 class - 42 business, 385 economy

So, whilst it makes no difference to business class, the substitution of a 3 class B777-300 could lose up to 81 economy seats.

They been quite common to Birmingham recently, which may be indicating a lower demand

They might as well start putting the first class sears on sale at this rate.

Their short on 2 class 777s because of them going onto new routes for example jakarta, new service to Kuwait city, some 2 class 777s going on Hamburg route.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

That must mean that those routes are carrying more economy pax than BHX (business class has the same number of seats), otherwise it would not make sense to switch the aircraft.

That's probably the reason why. But BHX is still shown as 2 class In S23

 

[Ray Finkle]

I wouldn't read too much into this, it's not unheard of to see 3 class aircraft at quieter times and the first week in Feb is hardly a peak for travel. Given the time of year the loads to DXB have been holding up pretty well.
