Does anyone know how long that Iberworld a332 will be on LGW-AUH route, i am booked on the 10th march however amadeus is showing a 773 yet with only economy class, as the prices are bargain basement im guessing that most of the seats will be sold. If a 773 turns up does that mean there may be upgrades? Surely that Iberworld aircraft with 29inch economy seats will be given the push shortly as the 1st 773 flies to frankfurt freeing up one of etihads new A332.

Well like you say, on Amadeus but also on Etihad's website it is indeed showing as a B773 on the 10th March. Etihad shows that the B773 comes on to the route on the 09-Mar-2006 replacing the 33F.
Can't help anymore than that. When I flew that route back in August it was still the A343 though! The B77W likes yours at EK are a lot nicer though. Flew that halfway around the world in November!

The 77W is scheduled for LGW during March...
Quoting FlyEmirates (Thread starter): Surely that Iberworld aircraft with 29inch economy seats will be given the push shortly as the 1st 773 flies to frankfurt freeing up one of etihads new A332.
FRA will still see the A330-243's (RR) of Etihad...
The first batch of 77W's will be used to MNL, LGW and BKK (x2)
You should get the 77W for your LGW flight, A6-ETC and A6-ETD should be delviered during this month
The 77W will make a change from the Iberworld A330's.
Are you flying Economy, EY seems to have a very generous seating cabin on the 77W's (3-3-3 ... EK is 3-4-3)
