Available now:
50JK
52AB
56JK
57-59 both AB and JK all available
So, thoughts? Wait or pay? It is a redemption so the couple of hundred £ won’t kill me but if I can get ‘em for free, so much the better. If I pay, which are the best pair? Mostly a night flight so lack of window wouldn’t be too much of a deal breaker. Definitely don’t want to be near kids or bassinets. We can easily be separated if necessary but would be nicer to be together if possible, obviously. He will take window so he can step over me but I don’t want to have to step over anyone. Never been in BA J before (no F was available, sadly) so not used to this whole yin-yang thing.
Hi,
I would probably go for 52AB ( I like the forward cabin) out of this combination ( what route is it by the way) as the following seats have these disadvantages;
50JK - 50K has 1 window which you have to lean forward to see out of and 50J may be disturbed by pax going through the curtain to the forward lavatory
56JK- Close to the galley
56-59 you may have a view ovelooking the large wing
57- ok seats
58 & 59 close to the curtain to WT+ ( lots of people going past upon boarding to the upper deck WT+/WT )
Not sure on the chances of 2 seats being together at t-7 ( you may get the middle seats left by then )
Regards
