It will be my first time flying BA First from Seattle.
I have the option of taking the afternoon flight (BA0052 leaving at 1355) or an evening flight (BA0048 leaving at 1955).
The afternoon flight is on a Boeing 777 with 14 First Class seats and is already very full.
The evening flight is on a Boeing 787 with 8 First Class seats (6 of which are taken).
Which flight would people recommend/prefer to enjoy a better First experience?
I'm thinking to go for the evening flight with the smaller cabin (to give me time to check out the lounges at SEA) but would love to hear people's thoughts and opinions.
Thanks in advance

I took the 8pm flight in Feb, and taking it again in 2 weeks time. I prefer that as its a newer 787. But meal service took 2.5 hours so be mindful of that if you wish to eat onboard and then sleep. The best bit of the lounge was the shower as it was a god send for me as had connected into SEA. The lounge is small but adequate. The little focaccias were devine though
