We were in the last row of a 77M - 44J/K today - full height bulkhead behind us, and full recline. New seats/IFE - no boxes under the seats, and much clearer screens. Headrests in seats had adjustable wings - which was good, leg room was okay (I'm 6'3). So overall good experience in a twin.

Hi Everyone just some advice needed I will be travelling on BA16 from SYD-LHR on 25 Nov in Business.
I currently dont have status so cant choose a free seat now.
My dilemma is should I pay to secure a seat now - definitely want a window seat. Or wait I should hit bronze by the time I get to SYD so will be able to choose 7 days out. Is it worth waiting and monitoring or buy now? There are quite a lot of seats available now. Closest to the front looks to be 10K is that a good seat.
If I buy now and a better seat say in the mini cabin comes up can I change my seat?
Thank you for any help 1st time travelling business long haul pretty excited.

Looking at the seat map at the moment it does look fairly empty in CW with plenty of window seats available. But normally that flight does go out full, so you cannot 100% be certain that at 8 days to departure there will be at least one window seat available. If you are on BA16 all the way to London then it's 24 hours (in essence) in one seat, so maybe that changes things? Would you be very disappointed with a central seat? On the other hand it's CS on that service so there is a high proportion of window seats and even if a seat isn't available at 7 days, there are often a lot of changes even after online check-in. If you are switching in SIN to the A380 then I think that diminishes the case, since you have a second seat selection go. Also the flight is in darkness for much of the time too. If you do pay for seating you can select other seats, there may be an additional amount to pay (or not) since it's dynamic pricing. The other option is to check seats regularly and buy only if forced, that is to say if the window seat options start to shrivel up.
Am thinking I will pay for 10K now as I would really like to be as close to the front as possible as I’ll be doing the quick run to the lounge to get a shower and I’m not a speedy walker!
Is 10K a good seat?

Confused on the information I'm seeing. LHR-BNA on flight aware shows the 772 as the aircraft flying recently, which from what I can tell isn't a valid seat layout per aerolopa (historical seat map section). The seat map for the flight on 9/28 indicates the B77L and it was reported a few months ago, this would be the jet they use for this route.
Any ideas which is correct, the seat map or flight aware? Is the 772 still being used in general?

Ah, the seat layout code 772 doesn't exist anymore. I was thinking of just the aircraft type/designation. The layout will be as per BA.com

Yea I was getting confused with the different designations. We leave in a few weeks and I was looking forward to the 777-200ER so when I saw it as the 772 instead of 77L (at least I thought), I was like welp, hopes dashed.
