www.seatguru.com.
In Business Class, Rows 8 and 9 have 52" of pitch and ~150° of recline. Rows 13-15 have 55" of pitch and ~150° of recline. Seats 8AB and 8HJ have been removed and replaced with closets. Seats 9AB are reserved for the Flight Crew to eat meals and are unavailable on flights of 8 hours or longer. Seats 9HJ have "infinite" legroom just like 9AB and are the most desired seats on this type of aircraft.
Add my thanks for this. One point of clarification. Do I understand that the trans-atlantic 777s have not had 8AB and HJ removed similar to what you have described for the Trans-Pac? I thought I had read somewhere (perhaps on the earlier thread) that the row 8 mini-cabin conversion was to be fleet-wide.
Makes a difference what I want to book as I go to LHR.
Thanks again for this
