BA has flown 777's in 3-4-3 config without increased set pitch (i.e. 31 inches only) on the old AML services.

I have flown the TG 777 in C 2-4-2 and it was much better than you might expect, admittedly I only flew BKK-HKT but it was certainly acceptable in the window seat pairs. Let us not forget that BA also has a 2-4-2 layout in longhaul J compared to the typical TG config of 2-2.
