Is there a current seating/aircraft guide?

Thanks for the warning, BadgerBoi.
I am sure that I will be reconsidering my options in the coming months thanks to all the helpful comments!
I went for 2L on the night sector as the foot space sounds larger, which is preferable for sleeping.
I thought I should try 2A as it was my first choice and for a day light flight, the space will be nice.

Here are couple pictures from L-seat. Red circles illustrate extra space compared to 2A/4A/6A.
In related things, previous occupant had deposited his/her wine list inside the chair where it clogged gear rim. As crew was busy ("oh, reclining doesn't seem to work, we'll notify tech") and flight was full, it took some time before I got seat dismantled enough to remove wine list and reclining back to work. Too bad I didn't take a picture from absolutely shredded wine list

IME, staff are always nonplussed when it comes to internals of the reclining mechanism. If you lose something inside they just go "Eh, OK". Last time I manage to get them to fetch the emergency flashlight before I went in.
For those interested, best attack angle is from beneath - if you can raise the foot rest alone, you can slide/crawl inside with your back on the floor. It is pretty much open from there.

Getting a bit OT here, but I have had problems too many times with seat positioning, belt stuck between or other near-misses. Let alone think about my uncle who does not dare to push any electronic button in order not to break it. Talk about a robust product

What seats should I choose when travelling with someone, so not solo.
I would probably take 3A&C; so is it a yes/no/hell no?
http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Fin...330-300_V2.php
The front row seats are stated to be "claustrophobic" due to the bulkhead wall?
I prefer the window seats and as the service starts from the front,
it's an easy choice.... Or is it?

I learned this the hard way in the last two weeks
OT - I reserved 2A long ago, when my BA OWE number was on the booking. I changed somewhere along the road to the AY number (whitet card) and forgot the whole thing until checkin time - lo and behold, my reserved seats were gone and had only DE seats available. Strange.
OT2 - AY 90 BKK-HEL C had 100% LF Friday. I don't know if revenue or op-ups, though.

Yeah, any seat that is positioned behind a set of two seats will be tube'd
Not sure the L's are striclty tube'd? IIRC there is no other limitation than the airframe. Still narrow, but not as narrow as these.
As for the lost seat - the card should make no difference. In J all travellers can chose seat, has nothing to do with status. You must have been bumped out of 2A for another reason.

Six 2-3-2 rows in the back looks like OH-LQA, ex-Virgin.
