Sonic Star, thank you for your prompt response. Are you certain? I would note the following differences:
Still, thank you for responding
- You refer to 77H whereas my MMB refers to 77W
- The 77H has an additional (third) cabin of suites, which the seat map for the 77W doesn't display
- The 77H has a galley behind row 7 - the seat map of the 77W shows nothing more than a bulkhead
- The 77H has 4 toilets aft of row 8 - the 77W seat map shows 3 toilets aft of row 18
Still, thank you for responding
- Do a dummy booking for your dates in CW and look at the seatmaps before you reach the payment page.
- If you have an expertflyer account, put your dates in and look at the the CW cabin.

Yes I am certain. If you really want to be convinced that I'm correct, you can do either of the following:
- Do a dummy booking for your dates in CW and look at the seatmaps before you reach the payment page.
- If you have an expertflyer account, put your dates in and look at the the CW cabin.

Hi all,
It seems BA have added a second rotation to St Lucia over the festive period and I was thrilled to be able to snag two a pair of CW reward seats with my companion voucher on the outbound on the 3rd January, the return sadly is going to have to be in economy on the 10 abreast 777, which will be a first for me.
There are seats available in row 20, which is the front row of the front economy Cabin - has anyone got experience of how close the bulkhead is here? I'm 6.3" so it might end up being a worse seat for me than a standard one, if I can't get my legs straight. Any feedback would be great.
Thanks

Hi all,
We've been downgraded from First to Club on our flight to JNB. Looks like we are on an old aircraft.
Any idea what the best two seats are please? Must be window seats.
Then our return from CPT is still showing us in First.
These two seats ok?
Thanks in advance

Any views on the twin seats 50-53 ABJK
Any experience of the twin seats 50-53 ABJK on this plane. I have a longhaul day flight over xmas family of 5 so wondered if Row 49 for the 3 kids and 50 for me and Mrs Waggy is the best of a bad bunch since bulkhead seats all gone

hey folks,
i'Ve got an LHR-HKG booking in July. i was booked on A380 both ways. now obvioulsy BA31/32 changed to an old version of the 777-300 with 7 rows of CW in the old design. outbound CW inbound First... should i think about changing to the 787 (later departure) for the outbound and/or inbound (afaik the first class in the 787 is 5 years younger) or should i wait till further changes come?
followup question: for Club World in the 777-300... 5A/K still the best seat?

I would wait until at least June. I must admit I can't get my head around the idea of focusing on flights in July since there will be plenty more changes to come, I'm not looking at flights at the back end of December for the time being. But in abstract terms I would switch to a 787 in a heartbeat. 16A is a good seat on 77W going out to Asia, 16K for coming back, if it's the CW Dorm.

77H I'm sure is a BA internal code for the new High J configuration. The 77W is the general aircraft code for the 777-300ER. I'm sure there was a time when those internal codes showed on MMB, but I haven't seen them in a long time. For example, my next booking on BA only shows as a 777 (a 4 class 777, labelled 77R in the wiki), but my last booking on the same route which also was shown as a 777 but it was a different configuration (a 3 class 777, labelled 77S in the wiki). So MMB only seems to be showing the aircraft type and not the configuration code listed in the wiki.

First world problems, I know, but trying to get the best seats for a trip to New York in an 8-seat 777 First cabin. In short, is it OK to book a bassinet seat without a baby?
My wife and I want two seats close together. Ideally, we'd have at least one window seat as it's a daytime flight, but BA's policies make this really hard as 1A/1K are reserved for Golds. The cabin is empty apart from us at this point in time but only option seems to be 2A/2E. We'd much prefer to sit to starboard to avoid staring into the sun and so that we can view the eastern seaboard of the USA as we approach, but the call centre wouldn't book us 2F/2K as the bassinet seat is reserved for potential infants. So it seems that, even in an empty cabin, it's impossible to get two seats together on the right hand side of the plane in this configuration.
I seem to be able to book 2F online myself. If I do, will the world come to an end? Will I just be turfed out if a baby turns up? And do I sound like a spoiled brat for even asking the question?

Hello, gurus. My LHR-IAD has just been downgraded from a 350 with club suites to what appears to be a 77J (48J with row 1 containing only DEFG seats and a two-row minicabin with rows 10-11). Some questions:
1. I'm having trouble interpreting some of the graphics in the relevant entertainment thread here. Can anyone confirm what I can expect in terms of IFE and especially power?
2. Am I right in thinking row 11 is the place to be if you want a window seat that doesn't involve climbing over anyone and also has all its windows?
Thanks everyone!

Thanks. Was afraid of that. Will hold out hope for another change over the coming week although not optimistic. Rather aggravating that with so many planes on the ground, the ones they operate are the natty ones. Still it's only eight hours out of my life at the end of the day. Glad I booked CW instead of WT/WTP though!
