I'm not sure what the service order is but if you ask on Ask the Staffer thread I'm sure CIHY or one of our other kind staffers will say. You could also ask there re what the current situation for the toilet is like?

Just thinking (and none of my business of course!) but can I suggest rather than take a whole row tat 10 wouldn't it be better to say take seats 9F/K AND 10F/K as you'd all be closer together and still have 2 window seats for swapping? No bad seats really though.

Thanks. Fair point about the bassinets, baby noise rarely bothers me but other members of the party might be less immune.
Re: taking 2 pairs of F/K seats, we used to do this on night flights when the children were younger in old CW (A/B or J/K), less so as they've got older. On day flights Mrs O and I normally get a centre pair and put the kids in window seats, and we've been flying more F on family holidays in recent years (thanks to GGL jokers and holidays to destinations with an F cabin). With the existing seat availability this time, it wouldn't be a great option to take F/K pairs on same side outbound, but think we might do it on the return.
The forward loo situation will be what it will be, but it is something of an irritant given the size of the CW cabin. There is no good reason I can think of for keeping it closed for the entire flight.
