I fly BA CW LHR-CAI approx six times per annum and even though BA uses a 744 the flight is invariably full every day.

As others have noted, anything on the Upper Deck. Mrs PtF and I always sit in 64J and K (useful to be at the rear of the cabin for a quick disembarkation to be at the front of the CAI immigration queue). 64A is a bassinet position. Given that your itinerary is ex-LAX you have an OLCI advantage over those ex-LHR passengers who can only OLCI at T-24. Be aware that with a half-decent tailwind LHR-CAI can be achieved in 4 hours, so you won't have much time to get too comfortable.

Assuming an all-CW itinerary, as far as I'm aware you should earn 120TPs per flight; 480 in total (4 x 120).
If you need any further advice on CAI - I'm your man!
