J seats to aim for on 787?
Hi all,
Anyone have any tips on the best J seats for a couple on a BA Dreamliner? Will be flying to LAX so assume it will be the 787-9 with first class.
Obviously want to avoid the middle three, just wondering if there were some "best" seats to aim for?
Cheers,
Jack

If it's a 787- then 6 or 7 ABor JK are great -small 2 row cabin behind F
Quiet though you may be disturbed by F passengers coming back to use J toilet as there is only one in F for all PAX and crew

I would choose 7AB, 13AB or 13JK if you want a window seat option, other wise 7E plus 7D or 7F or 13E plus 13D or 13F.
All of the window pairs are fine if that's what you like.

In 6 you, have to jump over the passenger's legs in row 7
7 definitely the best. For accurate seat maps check:

I also flew CX A350 on this trip and AA on previous trips - it is about time BA sorted their seating plan out! My parents would not be able to sit in a window seat due to a lack of nimbleness!!!

Agreed - I don't think it matters how nimble you are - I don't believe in sleep mode there's anyway to exit without disturbing the aisle passenger. Even if it's not touching them, just the motion. I won't fly any BA Club seat that involves the hop
