Incidentally I’m curious why a few of those seats are showing as $9. Is that because you’d paid for seats previously and are now looking to change, with those ones being slightly more?

No, our seats were included with the fare early on…maybe “dynamic” pricing in effect?

We’re returning towards end of Sept and it’s a 777-300. It’s shown as CS and we’re 5A and 6A.

So based upon that I’d say yes.

I thought as much, just wanted to check my understanding was right. Thanks Saladman.

After decades of flying BA longhaul on either B747,B787 or A380, I have booked my first trip on a BA 777-300 as my usual route between DFW and LHR is switching over to 777 service.
Any recommendations on Club cabin seat selection? The forward sub cabin (Rows 5-7) is fully booked, while rows 8-24 are completely empty! Will be travelling with Mrs.Texan and have picked centre pair 10E/F to put a few rows between us and the galley/bathroom area. The only problem I could forsee is lack of overhead bin space from crew rest areas/emergency equipment storage. Should I stick with this seat selection?
Tks y'all.

Well everyone is different so ultimately make your own choice. We’ve just had 5A and 6A in the small forward cabin back from JNB yesterday which would always be our choice but you said that’s not available. Personally we’re not too bothered about sitting next to each in the middle - they are too far apart to converse with each other. So we go for window seats and sit behind each other. I like the left side of the aircraft - mainly because the cable from my Bose headphones goes into the left earphone from the socket on the left, so it’s not draping across me!

But there aren’t really any bad seats in my opinion. So maybe try the middle out and the windows on the return and see what you prefer.

This is a question that crosses AC, so I'm picking one of the AC threads to ask.

Right now we are booked SFO-LHR on A380 J. There is a possibility to upgrade to 777 F.

We have extra Avios and not sure what the cost difference might be as I'd like to get opinions before calling.

Thoughts on this choice?

Adding to this, changing to the 777 cuts our layover before LHR-STR to 1:45, which should be sufficient even with the T5-T3 switch...but maybe a bit snug if any delay.

Cheers.

are the footwells in 5A and 6A the same? Or does the 5A bulkhead have additional footwell space?

Are the WTP front row seats on the 777 decent enough? Can see they have opened up on a JFK flight but worried the seats might be uncomfortably thinner with the IFE in the armrests.

Also aware this is the bassinet seat; how likely is it that we might be moved from this seat now it’s opened to be reserved (we fly on Sunday).

77W F Q. If 1A or 1K is still unassigned at check-in, will it open for a OWE to take? How about at airport? Or are these always going to be saved for BA's own?

CW Seat Selection Help

I have very limited experience with BA (and traveling in business) so would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on selecting seats for my daughter and myself on our flight from JKF to LHR. Of these available seats, are there any that are preferable or any to avoid? I’m thinking to try to stay near the front for service reasons. Would 9E/F be too bothersome being near the restroom/galley?
