No view in biz, 77W?

Is there no view from the biz-seats on 77W? from this fisheye-photo it looks blocked... or some seats have and some dont?

The herringbone configuration of the seats means some seats are better positioned for the windows than others. I wouldn't say the windows are blocked by the seats, but if a good window view is your thing then it would make sense to select your seat carefully. When you recline the seat you'll get better window access, but that may not be too much help during takeoff and landing.

I mostly fly this beast on overnight flights so I find the window seat is less of a priority.

Happy travels.

Magnus there is not much view, I do not like them, do you remember the old CX design, they are like them. 12 hours in that seat, is not for me, you can do better at the same price, but as I have a swag of upgrades, this is the plane I use them on.

Thx for your replies

I'm looking at the daytime-flight back to FRA and that's the only choice for me since my little flying is 100% holiday so i want to enjoy as much as possible= bubbles and just have a good time.

Sleep can i do when i'm back home...

And i'm also opposite many of you here.. i like last row like 3A and 19K so i wonder if any of you have experienced 16 A or K on 77W, is there any view at all?

Sorry BKKROP, but I disagree and in favor of TG. I think that these seats are absolutely brilliant. Among the best in business class. Much better than the CX herringbone, wider, comfortable. And much, much better than the old angled TG seats with poor avod. They are facing forward more than the CX seats. And there is a window view if you turn your head. AVOD and large screen are great and even on during landing/takeoff. While it is a day flight you will take a long nap given 1) all you drink and 2) the time difference. The flat bed is great then.

the other thing to bear in mind is that I'm not sure if this is a 'window shades down' flight. My recent NRT-BKK was all daytime and the blinds were closed for everyone to sleep, and more importantly, to be able to see their PTVs with out light interference.
