Welcome to Flyertalk and the BA Forum kaiba 
Basically the further forward you are generally the slightly more expensive the seats are if you are pre-paying/booking them.
If your in the old Club World seats then there is not a mini cabin as such. See the wiki for the layouts. If you would like to post which type you are on then a more accurate answer can be given, you can do this by matching your CW cabin to the layouts above, I hope this helps but please do come back if you have any more questions.

Thank you for the welcome and reply. My parents will be in the old Club World business class. I saw the layout where if I put them both in the middle, so they can be together. With this layout, I read they have to basically hop over someone if they need to get out to use restroom.
For the seats price difference, are the seats any different for the middle seats in Row 14, 13 and 10? If there is not any difference in seats, I would rather book them the cheaper of the 3 in Row 14 middle seats. Just was wondering if the more expensive seats had extra legroom or something else special along with it
Thank you

It should tell you the price if you look at your booking or do a dummy booking as the prices will/should be displayed there. None of the old CW seats have any extra legroom. The last row has direct aisle access but E seat there is a bassinet seat and will be blocked until maybe about T-72 or at OLCI.
I've never had an issue stepping over but I don't know how able your parents are/can do this but it's not really a high step over really.

I think they just charge more for seats closer to the front, as the poster above said, if you can get them the last row then they can get out without stepping over someone, but as they are bassinet seats you won't be able to reserve in advance. I'm 5ft 6 and pretty fit and it isn't always easy climbing out over someone when they're sleeping - you've got to get up and over the footrest, which is the width of the seat, if your parents have mobility issues they may struggle.
Thank you for the information. They might have some mobility issues so Ill have to see if they would be ok with it. In your past experience, have the seats generally been full?

It's all very subjective I suppose but the mini cabin is generally better as less passengers and you'll be off quicker than say way back in the rear CS cabin. It's a fairly 'quick' long haul really so I wouldn't overthink this too much.
The question is do you want a window? What's available for you?
I've never been on the A350 but there is a dedicated thread regarding that aircraft which is worth a little read. I'd sit on the K side coming back due less sunlight/glare coming in if you like to look out.

. Mostly just wondering about any poor seats to stay clear of ie. galley/toilet noise, smaller space/obstructions, bassinette area, etc.

Thanks Peter. I'm guessing wifey will want middle so that's fine with me. I'm more curious about placement within the cabins. I'm guessing we'll get service/food quicker being in the front mini-cabin. Just looking for a quiet ride with good service. As far as getting off the plane first, probably not as big a deal as we have a long layover so plenty of time to kill. If First Class can do it, I guess I can . Mostly just wondering about any poor seats to stay clear of ie. galley/toilet noise, smaller space/obstructions, bassinette area, etc.

Thanks - we have gone for 39A and 39B to be sure. Is there a full height wall behind these seats as I've seen some videos online where there is a wall, and some where there is no wall and it's just a curtain, but I'm not sure which 777 type each of these relate to?

77H 777-300 WTP row 33 or 34
The only available window seat on a booking made yesterday was 34K, the rearmost row.
Today 33K has opened up.
Is there any benefit to moving forward a row? Im thinking seat recline, proximity to door, toilets, noise in economy?

I'm sure the loos behind you which are in the central cabin of Y will be busy as usual towards the end but they're not behind you, just a small partition behind you. Not much in it overall.
At OLCI just don't download your BP and maybe 31 or 32 would be better if it opens up and you'll be nearer the front which = not being in the last row where meal options may have diminished.
If you have Avios maybe keep a check on any UuA as a possibility?
Still a nice way to travel though in WTP and I travel with good quality earplugs which makes a big difference.

Hi all
I think I am shortly flying BA 77w Heathrow to San Fransisco. I`m surprised at the plane because I thought there was only the double decker planes on this route and I was sure which economy seat I wanted in that layout. However on looking at seats for my actual flight I was thinking of booking 41 K but note the toilets are at the back. 41 K as the last row, seems to have more room behind it before the toilets than seats on the other side. I was wondering what is on the extra space? I would also value any opinions on this seat. I don`t care about being last off the plane.
Many thanks

77S- front toilet position
The wiki here puts one of the front toilets in CW next to 1F/G (like the 77T) but Aerolopa shows both toilets to the port side in front of Galley?
Anyone know which is correct?

777 3 Class Club Suite Cabin Service
A quick question, a flight on a 777 3 Class with the Club Suite split between two cabins 1-7 and 10-14, the rear cabin does this get served separately from the front cabin and is the typical service starting at row 10 or 14? Just deciding to get a seat at the front or back of that cabin!
Thanks
Thanks

BA 777 layout compared to seat guru
I have recently looked at the seat plan to see if the plane that we are travelling on has under gone a refit recently, But looking on seatguru , I cannot find a BA 777 with this layout and i am not totally sure if its the 700 200 or the 300 .
On the seat map, Their are only 40 rows with 4 twin seats., The closest that i can find is the Boeing 777-200 (772) Three Class Layout 2 but doesn't have any twin seats
Can you point me in the right direction, Which aircraft class type i am flying, Has it had a refit and is the layout on the BA Website correct since i might select the twin seats going out
40 rows and 4 sets of twin seats
