All about the Boeing 777-323ER Business and First Class cabins and seats

Link to the Main Cabin and Main Cabin Extra seating thread.
Link to the Boeing 777 Seating Guide thread for the latest seat maps

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.
  • 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

Link to Steve Case's review of 77W F seat and service on Travel Codex




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.

Link to JPA Design Zodiac Aerospace Cirrus Business Class seat page.
  • 3A-J people like privacy, only single window
  • 4A-4J too noisy (galley and lav close) for some
  • rows 3 and 4 have reports of being somewhat ignored by J cabin crew
  • Row 5 has only single window, close to galley and lavs / noisy
  • Row 7 one window, 7A overhead stowage taken by O2 equipment
  • Row 11 has no windows
  • Row 12 is at the wing root; 13-15 downward views impaired by the wing
  • Row 15 is positioned directly in front of the Economy lavs

Service caveats: some crew variability, and some crews excessively noisy in the galleys. Applies in F, J including J minicabin.
  • The seat selection sites (seatguru, seatexpert) are often mostly correct, and are not 100% reliable in any case (seatguru has 77W seat chart corrected errors).

ok my frequent 77W experts just scored a T-24 upgrade to J from Premium Economy, at the time only 14D and aisle 15 available (two middle) took 14D but EF and AA now showing bulkhead 5D is open so the question then becomes bulkhead next to the lavs and mini bar or next to last row in J

Congrats on the upgrade! If you are sensitive to light/noise I would probably stick with 14D. I find the flight attendants really noisy on AA flights and you are next to the area will people will congregate for the lav etc. Avoid the mini cabin at all costs as the air exchange is insanely noisy.

Personally, I don't like the bulkhead in J on the 77W. If we can't sit in the mini-cabin, we usually prefer row 10-14.

14D worked out very well the couple in 15 D/G were a little chatty but I actually liked being close to the rear LAV as I drink lots of water during the flight

Best Seats in F on AA JFK to LHR on a 777.

Hi All, Does anyone have any pros or cons re: best seats on AA Boeing 777 in F?
Thanks

I did look, but most of the comments refer to Transcon F on the A321.

This will no doubt be moved to the AA forum, but fwiw, the four window seats in the F cabin are by far my preferred. I've been in both on the A side and there's not much between them. Working with a view out of the two windows while your meal is set out next to you is a great experience (apart from the fact that I needed to work).

2A is my favorite seat in F. Not bulkhead and no glare from galley when trying to sleep.

I had to pinch myself on July 17th as AA2575, MIA-DFW, caught a 77W over the usual 772. Went straight to the Power Ball ticket machine afterwards.
