That is correct (unless you are seated in a row 15, 53 or 59, where rear facing seats have direct aisle access).

And I absolutely do not agree that BA's lounges at LHR are the best in Europe.
I was just wondering: what are you preferred business class lounges in Europe? I've been to most of them (in the capitals, not the secondary cities) and I cannot think of one that comes close to BA's lounge. I agree though that there are (much) better first class lounges in Europe.

My return leg (LAX-LHR) was on AA in a Boeing 77W. You can read my business class trip report (with lots of photos) here: http://wp.me/p4d1XU-di2. For those want to see more, I also made a Youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kXxwLlwDJo
