777-300 (77W) CW seats window alignment

Here are my notes from a recent flight regarding window alignment in CW on the 777-300.

Row 10: window behind seat hood but missing window at pax view point - views unlikely

Row 11: full complement of windows, window to front of hood offering good views

Row 12: window behind hood with panel split at view point, slightly less preferred for viewing

Row 13: full complement, window to front of hood offering good views

Row 14: missing window behind hood and slightly to front of view point - view possible but may be hindered slightly

Row 15: window to front and rear of hood, middle window of 3 missing, view probably unhindered but less natural light

Row 16: approximately normal complement of windows except no window at end of cabin so the seat may be missing one or half a window with no impact on view

***

Summary:
Excellent views = rows 11, 13, 15 and 16
Less good views = rows 12, 14
Bad views = row 10

Missing windows = rows 10, 14, 15

77W in CW - which "window" seats don't have windows?

You know how some airplanes have "blind windows", i.e. a piece of wall where a window should be. Still the seats there are labelled "window seats"

Anyone knows which seat rows in CW on the 777-300ER only have "blind windows"? Thanks

10K has a window but it isn't aligned with the seat (the usual place is a blank) so if you want to stare out at the passing clouds you need to strain forward (I learned this to my determent on a flight back from NRT)

That's a fantastic thread! If only something like that existed for all the airlines and aircraft I am taking. I have my own little cheat sheet, but simply have never flown the BA 777-300ER so I couldn't fill in the info myself yet.

Thanks again
