It sounds like it is a B 757.
I was put into row 2 but was still able to get row 1.
I was on the BA2935 EDI to LGW last Tuesday morning operated by Astraeus using a B757 (that's what your flight is showing as using too on BA.com). I was booked into 3F but when I boarded (towards the end of boarding) the first 7 or so rows had the tray tables down and we were told that it was 'free seating today and you can choose any seat other than those with the tray tables down'. This was down to load balancing apparently and the flight was pretty empty, so my 3F became 21F, but I did get the entire row to myself. So don't count on getting row 1! I never eat the on-board breakfast but it appeared to be similar to the BA one (it smelt the same anyway).
On landing we were given advice that there were restrictions on bringing meat products into the UK and to use the red channel if we were unsure (from Edinburgh?
!!)
I was one of the last off but we were bused to the stand so last on the bus was first off so overall not too bad.
