Hi all. I'm flying on BA297 LHR-ORD this coming Sunday. According to availability on flightstats it's going to be rammed (currently showing 3/2/0/0 F/CW/WT+/WT).

I'm in the back of the bus, so looking for help on making the best of a bad situation (unless I get an OpUp, obviously ).

Seatmap shows the aircraft as a 777-300 with the new WT cabin - haven't flown in this configuration before.

Being of the short and fat persuasion legroom isn't a significant issue. I tend to avoid the bulkhead seats on the 744 config - partly because the armrests make them a bit more restrictive 'girth-wise', but more because there isn't much space between the fold-out tray and my beer gut

But, given the apparent loading of the flight, I'm tempted to take a bulkhead or exit seat. Does anyone know if the fold-out tray on the 777-300 slides in the way that they do on some aircraft (and don't on the 744s )?

Also, one of the supposed improvements of the new WT cabin is a bigger video screen - are the screens in the bulkhead/exit seats also bigger?
