Best seat in F on 772

Does anyone know if seat 2A has any limitations in terms of leg room due to the front of the plane?

Is another seat in F on the 777 better?

Flew in 777 F in March in Row 3 and unless your way over 6 feet tall I don't think that there is difference. The lay flat bed is 6 feet and there is a little room to walk past it

The only problem in 2 is that you are facing a wall for a long time. I personally prefer to see things around the cabin and 3 had a little better open feeling.

I find D and G are better because nobody need to climb over you to get to the aisle.

I agree. When I'm traveling alone I hate to "climb over" someone else to go to the restroom or having other people do the same to me..

They are adjacent. The seats are laid out in F as AC-DG-HK. The new F has very little spare room to get past the other passengers. In A/K you have to climb over someone else, in C/H they climb over you (yes, this is in First Class ...). Both D and G are aisle seats, so nobody needs to climb over anyone else.

That's good to know. Until now I have only flown in the new F on the 744 and there were no such issues - there was no need to climb over anyone.

12seats.
Tow rows : AC and HK
It has more space then the 777 F cabin
And no pilots or their wifes are sharing the restroom with you.

Well, my handle is from 2004. That said I still usually only buy tickets in Y and upgrade or get upgraded, although there are exceptions!
