Flower Duet,

I remember working on the old AML aircraft at WW LGW not so long ago. They were eventually converted into the first 3 class 777's at LGW but shortly after their time with AML they had the 3-4-3 config removed and a standard 3-3-3 config put in. However the galley layouts remained the same. What we had was then 4 rows (i think) of OLD OLD OLD club world (the cradle seat) between doors 1 to 2. Then the galley at doors two was actually the cross aisle aswell so was literally sandwiched between the doors (ever been on an a-class at lhr...same idea) and then it was WT all the way from doors 2 to doors 4 (no WT+) with a break at doors 3 for toilets.

It was a bloody hard plane to work on, if you think KIN or MCO is bad now can you imagine what it was like full on a 2 class??? The only good thing was that we had two seperate galleys for WT (unlike the current 3 class which has a totally wasted galley) and the service ran very smoothly with four corners done in each cabin section!
