Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Seating tips for the NRBC 777-300

Having had the pleasure of this plane twice in the last month, I've pulled together a few observations that may help.

J class

Bulkheads seats seem to offer the best legroom - 11 D-G, 12A/C, 12H/K and then row 19 in the mini second cabin.
14A and 14K also seem to benefit from an extra inch or 2 of legroom as row 12 is at a slight angle due to the curve of the fuselage. It's pretty marginal though!

Y class

Avoid any B,D or J seats as they have a very large IFE box - you loose about a third of the width of the seat to the big metal things.

Thanks for the insights!

When you say "a third of the width" are you talking about the width of the open space under the seat in front of you?

Exactly - a third may be a slight exaggeration, but the box is pretty intrusive - about 5-6 inches wide.

The only problem is that the NRBC fitted aircraft don`t shown up differently on Sabre/CX`s timetable. If I get hit with the same plane to SIN on Tuesday I am not going to be a happy bunny!
