The Business Class Cabin
Business Class passengers will turn left upon boarding both layouts of the 777-200.
The Business Class cabin comprises 42 seats, spread across 7 rows. The configuration is 2-2-2.
All seats offer the same in terms of legroom, however Row 4A/4K are missing one window, and as such only offer one (opposed to two) windows to look out.
The seats are totally flat, although some FTers have pointed out that there is a small hump at shoulder-level when the seat is flat. Each seat is equipped with a large IFE screen, and a Power-Outlet, as well as a USB slot for charging devices (or watching content through the screen).
A Solo-Flyer
As a solo-flyer, the best will depend on what you enjoy. If you prefer to look out of the window, select any of the A/K seats (but remember that Row 4 is missing one window). If you prefer direct-aisle access, pick any of the B/E/F/J seats; but bear in mind if you are in a B/J seat, your neighbour will have to hop over your legs to access to the aisle.
Between the seats, is a small divider. It does not offer much by way of privacy when seated upright, but is fine for sleeping.
For those sat in Rows 1, 4, and 5, there may be potential disturbance from the galley, in the form of light and noise. Additionally, there are 2 bathrooms either ahead, or behind, which will likely be used throughout the flight. While there is a curtain to prevent noise and light, the curtain is of a lighter material than those found on the A380/A350/B787.
For those sat in Row 7, you may encounter disturbance from the bassinet seats in the first row of the Economy Class cabin. As such, you may be disturbed by the noise of infants enduring a tough flight. Please be considerate to those in that situation, as flying is not easy for young ones.
A Couple
If you are travelling as a couple on this aircraft, you're in luck. Many FTers have said that the 777 is their favourite aircraft when travelling with a partner.
Similar to the advice above, the best seats will depend on what you prefer. However, most couples opt for the A/B and J/K seats as it allows for both window, and aisle access.
As a couple, you will easily be able talk to one-and-other from the comfort of your seat, and QR crew are able serve your meals so that you can eat at the same time.
Above seats 1E/1F, on the bulkhead, is a large information screen. This stays on throughout the flight, offering a roaming map perspective. As such, this may become intrusive.
