747 mid J WTP seating question
Dear All,
I've spent some time looking on past threads, but can't quite find an answer to my question. Am hoping for a little insight / help.
Am due to fly on BA179 to JFK, which is showing a mid J config. (Mistakenly thought it would be high J and potentially a refurbed WTP cabin, so my bad).
Last time I flew in 'old' WTP I was in a bulkhead seat and found the angle of watching the TV uncomfortable, so was hoping for some suggestions as to another good seat to pick.
J&K seats from 13-16 are available, as well as 13 & 15B. I generally go for a window, but not overly fussed. (Neither 11K or 15A are available).
Which would others go for based on this choice? Many thanks

If you're not overly fussed about a window, I'd take 13B as it's a day flight (or at least a "mostly awake" flight). I prefer the A side if there's a reasonable seat because the loo is on that side.
But if you end up on the K side, I would avoid 16JK for noise reasons.

Which (aisle!) seats would be the best hope for getting a bit of sleep on 787 and A380 please? I have special assistance so can pick ahead of OLCI time, but has to be an aisle so I can get up and walk around if I need to. Never flown WT+ on either flight, looking forward to it

This of course assumes you're eligible for a bulkhead seat given your special assistance.

I’d recommend a bulkhead aisle seat in the central section, so 60D or 60F on the A380; 10D or 10F on the 787-8; 16D or 16F on the 787-9. That way the middle seat occupant can still gain access/egress to and from their seat via the other aisle without disturbing you.

Hello both Prospero and MPH1980, thanks for these tips. I am eligible for bulkhead seats and 16D has just opened up on my flight tomorrow, so I've grabbed it! The potential to be sat next to babies does give me pause (for both them and me), but I won't know until I'm on the flight I suppose and will have to deal with it then...
Bonus - am now at Bronze as a result of this + MH biz class flights - my first status ever!

I have an upcoming flight ORD-LHR in a 777 where the WTP cabin map looks different from any I've seen before. It's showing row 22 as an exit row, with nothing in row 21 ahead of it in A/B and J/K. Is this plausibly correct? It doesn't match any of the maps on seatguru, for example.
