Four class 777
Flight 0115 from LHR to JFK on 1/1 is showing these seats as available. It looks to be the four class 777. We really have very limited experience with BA or flying business, so any suggestions would be appreciated. It will be me and my 15 year old daughter flying. She does tend to use the restroom a bit 🤣

Personally I wouldn’t pander to her needs but I’m not her father, row 5 and row 17 are served first to be served but food choice is by status so getting your choice has nothing to do when you order is taken.

Much discussion here in this thread. It's a relatively 'short' long haul flight and with club suites there's no bad seats really but bear in mind there's bassinet seats at row 9 for info.
Looks like your on a 77M which you can see in the Wiki.

Getting ready to book ORD-LHR in business, probably BA294. BA site only says that it’s a 777 but not which one. I know I won’t be able to see the seating chart until I’m into the booking. Just wondering if anyone knows whether any of the possible options include the seating config where I’d have to step over someone’s feet. Had that the last time I flew BA biz but that was in 2018. Am traveling with 2 other people but I don’t necessarily need to be next to them. Thanks for any insight.

Basically, if the seatmap is 1-2-1 it's Club Suites which all seats have aisle access. The vast majority of LHR 777s have Club Suites.

Of course 777 aircraft types can occassionally be changed before your flight but it's not that common really, just something to be aware of. Any more queries do come back and ask.

Ba0112 jfk to lhr
Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the right place as this is my first posting. I just booked business class on BA0112 JFK to LHR for August 2025 and I have questions on seat choice. On my reservation it just says 777 but in looking at the seat choices it appears the flight is a 77H because when looking at seat choice it shows the mini cabin with three rows on each side, 5, 6 & 7. Generally my husband and I do the middle two seats on a flight but he wants to do a window seat this time. The mini cabin seating is currently all open and on the threads I have found most people prefer the mini cabin so I currently have seats 5A and 6A chosen. I was debating between these two seats and 5K and 6K. Does anyone have any experience with this flight to know which side and which seats would be better? Are these good seat options and is there anything that makes one choice better than the other? I appreciate any advise anyone can give me.

You have a better chance of seeing the City of London on the K side when arriving to LHR.
Right handed people may find having the shelf on the right side preferable.
