The club suites section comes a little further back than CW (which went to row 11), and WTP is now 5 rows instead of 3, leaving a shorter front WT cabin, as you see on the plan for your booking, of 5 rows. The bulkhead in front of WT is just a divider. All the lavatories (and doors!) are in the same place, as per the seat map you show.

thats great, thank you. If its a divider in front of row 25, Ill stick with 25 B & C. I think thats as good as its going to get! 😄

That should be the new Club Suite High J 77W, however just for clarification, are you sure it starts with row 31? Because that aircraft has WTP starting with row 30 from what I can see.

Hi guys with the hope that by next summer long haul travel will return, any ideas on the best seats in F on a 12F 77Z? There are 2 of us, traditionally I'd be a 1A, 1K occupant on the 774, but with this config is 1K and 2K better? Never been on a 772 in F in any config, thank you

I am trying to decide my Y seats to Male in November but I am stumped as the 77W has 40-53 rows in Economy.

I can't find any seating plans which go back to row 53?

What is going on and where should I sit as a solo traveller?

It looks like one of the new 8F 77Ws. See below from ExpertFlyer.

Any idea if BA will install 1 or 2 lavs on the new 8F 77Ws? On the 789 only having 1 lav is a big problem (both in terms of waiting time and often cleanliness) with 8 passengers + cabin crew + flight crew. I'm not aware of any other airline that only has one forward lavatory for a similar first class cabin. For example AF and SQ with 4F on the 77W has 2 lavs and so does CX with 6F.

Sone odd seatmaps are showing up for the club suite 3 class 777s I have booked next year, example below. I managed to put us in 1A and 2A using the RJ website but we now dont even show on the seatmap on the BA app! Hopefully the seats stick... another BA IT glitch I guess?

Booked in F on a 12F 772 to LAS with my wife. Current options for seat reservations are 1EF, 2EF, and 4EF...Is there any reason NOT to go for 1EF?

Never flown F on the 772 before, but have done so on the 773. Assuming there's not a great deal of difference other than 3K & 4K not existing.

Thanks.

If it were me, I would go for 1EF on the 772 if traveling as a pair.

The only other significant difference is that the 773 has no washrooms at the front of the F cabin whereas the 772 does.

Wasn't sure if the toilet directly in front of 1F would be a nuisance but I guess with it being a daytime flight it's less of an issue. Less stumbling distance for me too

I have the same issue chose 3A/4A on BA MMB. Managed to change my seat to 1A on RJ but wasn't able to change my husband's seat to 2A so changed back to original allocation but wasn't able to do that on BA site or APP. In the meantime, I saw allocation of 1A and 4A on BA site but not on the seatmap (the two didn't match) and I wasn't able to switch back to original choice. Infact MMB wouldn't allow me to change to any seat I got an error message so I went back to RJ switched my seat back refreshed BA MMB and was finally back to square 1.
