If you are flying in F, and your mother in Y on the same flight, then you should switch seats with your mother! :P

I don't want to sound awful, but I feel like I'm already doing her a big favor by just agreeing to go on this trip with her. I really love her, but she'll be OK in coach, right? She's a healthy 59 year old.

The new thread has been merged into the existing, active thread. The 777s flying to / from GRU are the same ones we are all familiar with.

2A or 2J are the best IMO. I have a thing against bulkheads and being at the front (no "view", if that makes any sense at all...), and I always get some kind of glare from the galley lighting or associated noise in 3A or 3J, especially on night flights. In 2A or 2J, I can get away with not having to put on nightshades.
I guess everyone has their own unique comfort zone, and for me, row 2 always feels just right and nice.

On Asia flights, 1A and 2A are blocked so for me it is always 2 or 3 J if you are alone and I decided based on FEBO. If you are flying with someone choose the middle two seats in 2 or 3 and do the same. I think 1 will expose you to both bathroom noise and FA chatter as will 4.

I bought my mother a F ticket for LAX-PVG (she wanted Y but I told her Y Saver was not available and the cheapest was F saver , she's been through a lot of stress this year, she needs the luxury). What can I tell her to expect during the flight? Does the movie screen work pretty well? She's been in the J cabin before, but never F. Is the service more or less the same between F and J?
Also, any hints about how to maximize time at the LAX Flagship lounge?

I tried to find a similar thread for F class on a 772, but no luck... I was debating between 2A and 1J but am leaning towards 2A. SeatGuru has 1J as yellowed out for proximity to the Lav/Galley. It says 2A has more space and is normally reserved for crew rest (apparently not for NRT-LAX). Any thoughts? Thanks!

2A is clearly my favorite, with 3A as second choice
