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.

- 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 recommend avoiding 1D/G as they have no overhead storage bins (the space is taken up by the crew rest area upstairs). 1A is my favorite as it is very private and not as prone to noise and light from the galley as 1J.

Some folks dislike 1g and 1j. I sleep with eye shade and I love 1J as I like to look out of the window as I work and row 1 is furthest from engine noise. Must have been fortunate as never had issue with overhead bins. As a couple I would recommend center seats row 2, as solo pax 1a or 1J or really 2A or 2J. Have fun and enjoy.

Yes, I believe some posters seem to have a very different experience. Complaints about being unable to use bins, noise and light etc. It probably depends on routes. My experience on 777 300 is LHR and GRU. Compared to the cramped accommodation in First on many carriers, I think all seats on the 777 300 are quite acceptable. Obviously windows seats are nice for the view and center seats are good for couples.

I just had a flight in 1A. Decent seat, though when laying down you can definitely see the galley/bathroom light. It's pretty much direct line of sight. The eye mask mitigates it but surprising nobody at AA thought to put a more substantial curtain.
Side note about the bed, I have to wonder if it's actually -less- comfortable than the J bed, as I felt my arms were flopping off the seat when on my back, whereas most reverse herringbone seats get a bit wider by your head/shoulders with the armrest down.
I still slept fine on my side though.

Business class on the JFK-LHR route (77W) does NOT provide pajamas, right? Does it also not come with a mattress pad? Just wanted to check before booking. If both are not provided, can anyone attest to the comfort of sleep on this flight regardless?

No, comforter and pillow only. I found it perfectly possible to sleep though JFK-LHR is pretty short flight. Avoid row 4 as you will get a lot of galley noise if you are trying to sleep. If you want mattress pad and pajamas, book First. Sometime the difference is small, sometimes it is double, depending on how booked it is. Either way the bed is long enough to sleep unlike BA and some other business seats which are 5-6" shorter.

Currently, we are in 13 D/G of this aircraft. Row 10 is available. Should we move up to be further from engine noise and the restrooms?
