I'm travelling to BCN tomorrow on the BA2706, flying in CE.
At OLCI we've been allocated 4DF, which is the last row of CE at the moment. I'm happy to be on the right hand side, as the views of Barcelona on landing are incredible, and it looks like we'll be landing on 25R (i.e. With the city to the right of the aircraft).
I haven't downloaded our boarding passes yet, so we can still change our seats. 1AC is currently available and is marked as an exit row. There's no 1DF, just 2DF so I assume it's one of the G-GAT* aircraft. Would we be better off in 4DF, despite the perceived extra legroom in 1AC? It's our first CE experience so I'd like it to be as enjoyable as possible, however the views are something I don't want to miss. My partner also doesn't know we're going in CE yet. Could it be worth choosing 1AC and trying to move seats before landing? I don't know what availability is like on the flight, both in ET and CE, but BA.com indicates the flight is sold out. Should we perhaps stay in 4DF and enquire about spare seats when we drop our bags tomorrow?
