All 8 First and 52 Business seats recline to horizontally flat, have full aisle access and are isolated from other seats; they offer folding flat screen AVOD with touchscreen monitor that offers on-demand entertainment with up to 250 movies, 160 TV shows, 13 radio channels, 375 albums and 20 games, 110 VAC international multiplug and 5 VDC USB power. Ku-Band Satellite Panasonic Wi-Fi is offered for sale. B&O noise cancelling headphones are available for use in flight (generally picked up an hour prior to arrival), and both cabins feature a walk-up bar stocked with snacks and refreshments.
First Class seating
Eight First Class Flagship suites by Safran (nee Zodiac Aerospace), though they are not as spacious a seat as the original 772 F suite, offer 82” / 208 cm of pitch and 36” width in a herringbone 1-2-1 configuration; they become a fully horizontal 6’ 8” bed with retractable arm rests extending the width; turndown service provides a mattress pad, pillow, duvet, amenity kit and pajamas. Seats swivel, diners in D-G First suites can dine face to face with privacy screen lowered. Each suite has two folding tables.

There are a large folding flat 17" touch screen AVOD, two 110 VAC international multiplug and 5 VDC USB power, RCA composite input (red, white and yellow) and a Panasonic eXport jack (see here). The seat controls are in an iPhone like touch controller.
Business class seats
All 52 business class seats offer aisle access and convert to fully horizontal flat beds and feature 75” pitch, 26” wide (at its widest point, so less in actuality) fully horizontal seats in a 1-2-1 "pod" configuration offer full AVOD through large flat folding screens and a Panasonic eX2 IFE system, retractable aisle arm rests. The seats move forward and aft to adjust distance fro service table, etc. The headset jack is behind a small stowage door at shoulder height that holds the B&O noise reducing headsets, personal light and air vent, 110 VAC and 5 VDC USB power, RCA composite input ( red, white and yellow) and a Panasonic export jack link), touch seat controls, AVOD corded hand controller. Some storage, including shoe stowage, is available. The center seat pairs do not provide close seating for couples.

Service caveats: some crew variability, and some crews excessively noisy in the galleys. Applies in F, J including J minicabin.

- A and D, and G and J are not aligned / are slightly offset (contrary to Seatguru and other seat charts).
- D and G pairs have a high privacy screen that can be raised / lowered.
- Note that 1D and G have no bins, so bin contention does occur

I'm a pretty big guy (6'4" 270) so I look at those J seats and they just feel cramped to me. Privacy is not an issue, I loved LH F and that feels like communal dining. I watched some more review videos and booked the F seats for all 3 of us because why not.
I'm still looking for F/J availability on NH out of ORD for the same dates and I might switch to that if I can get it. But I'm happy with this option as well, I just need to get something on the books. I hadn't really thought about trying to find JL F, I'll look into that also.
Thanks for your input

8G. The rows in 77W J are pretty pretty well aligned between window and center seats, with the center seats offset just very slightly (maybe a couple of inches) behind their respective window seat pairing in the main J cabin. That being said, the seats have a curved privacy divider near the headrest, so someone in either 8J or 9J wouldn't really be able to easily see or converse with anyone in 8G. In my opinion, the added privacy of the window seats far outweighs any benefit if sitting across the aisle from a travel companion in J and F on the 77W.

Newbie here flying on 777-300ER (i don't know the actual abbreviation used here) DFW-HNL with wife and kids. Splurged for F In rows 1 and 2 which I believe is the Flagship seat. My question is does the divider between the two middle seats come down? We have a 10 yr old and wondering if we will be able to assist her or will the person sitting in the window seat across the aisle be better situated to assist if need be. She will probably never need any assitance from us but just making sure. Just give her a fruit and cheese tray and some movies and she will be in heaven.

Thanks. I would normally definitely agree with you. Alas, it’s my wife, me, and our 3yo (plus lap child toddler) so we wanted to create a bit of a triangle so the 3yo can sit in a window seat but be able to turn and look at a parent. Presumably the best way to accomplish this then is to put 3yo in 8J, parent in 8G, and then other parent (with lap child) in 9J?

Yes, divider must be down for takeoff/landing to my knowledge but you can keep it down the entire flight if you choose. Given the OP will 'own' the seats on both sides of it, it's entirely their choice.

2A is more private but for me personally I'd rather have the storage areas and surfaces to my right. I've sat in 1J and haven't found the galley or lav to be a distraction. Of course, ymmv.

Was just reading a review of Azul and the new seats on the A330-900 and its the first time I have ever seen a reverse herringbone seat with the table not on the window side. I guess its technically not a true RH seat but every other row is angled towards the window with the other row more aisle exposed. Its the same idea as Polaris but with Polaris the window is straight and the closer to the aisle one is angled.
At any rate, my point is I always take right side on RH but on Azul I'll have to make a note to take the left side......

So I have a dilemma.....2G or 4J ??
Let me first say I would take AA F over AA J any day. I dont care that the seat is exposed, i love that it is a little wider, far longer & an ottoman not a foot well. I enjoy the swivel and like the 3 windows. That said I love 4J. Its my go to seat. Mini cabin is great, extra window over Row 3 and not right up near the curtain and FA's passing through.. And I hate being near the lavs but have never once had an issue with it at Row 4 since they arent right smack behind the seat.
At any rate, all 4 window seats are taken so its 2G or 4J.
This is for JFK-MIA with F & J being sold both as J (or F I guess technically).
I know its a short flight and either way will be good but do I go for the extra space and slightly more wider/comfy seat or do I take my go to J seat and have some windows?
So hoping whoever is in 2J cancels their ticket, or any of the windows but 2J is my go to.
