Seat recommendation - 77W Business

Hi there,

Not an SQ regular, but I have a flight coming up on the 777-300ER in business class and wanted to pick a window seat. It'll be an overnight sector and I'm travelling on my own so the priority is a good sleep. The only currently available seat choices are:

20A
21A
22A

15K
21K
22K

What would be the pros and cons in the opinion of the regulars? Thanks

I would only be happy with 11A or 11K, and nothing else

What happens if the original occupant of 11A is also an FT-er and will settle for nothing less??

Any experence on 12A and 12K to share?

Seatguru and Seatexpert indicate they are windowless, but I find it hard to believe there is not one single window at the seat considering the length of the seat pitch.

Thanks for any input.

It is not windowless. There is a window near the seat.

Unfortunately, the view through the window from the seat is misaligned.

This means when one wants to look out of the window from one's seat, one needs to lean forward to look through it. You will not see anything through the window when one is simply leaning back comfortably on those seats.

I know it is a clumsy explanation. Perhaps someone could help with my explanation.

That's a pretty good explanation. If I can't get 11A/K I'm fine with the 12s. Still in the small forward cabin and apart from takeoff and landing there's nothing to see. I also like 14A/K but many don't because there can be noise from the galley. Doesn't bother me.

Not ony the noise, but also the view of the galley. Quite odd seats.
