Ok, I did my search on going out mid Sept. and returning late Sept.
The Flt. 12 is the 777 departing 5:50 and the 11 is the 777 9:00A.M return
flight. The middle flights, 6:40 P and 11:00A flights 58 & 59 have business
elite service. The last flight each way: Flt # 10 & 09 9:45 P and 1:00P
are the flights that don't include business elite service.
Perhaps I qualified my love for the 777 by saying "all things being equal,"
if not let me say that you would want to be up front on flights 58 & 59 than
in coach on the 777 flight(s). Fly on the bird that gives you the best
shot.
If possible keep your plans flexible until the last week. There is
absolutely no advantage to listing early! If your "benefactor" has a
computer and is willing to help and has the time to do so it would be great
as that person will be able to see the load factors and number of other
non-rev passengers standing by for the different flights.

If things look tight in the end game you might want to look at listing to
Cincinnati and out that way if the load factors are more favorable for
business elite. Going ATL>CVG>LGW and LGW>ATL would add about $20 to each
pass. Doing Cincinnati on the return as well would be another $20.
