I'm flying on 18 Dec, so if they're going to improve matters they'll have to do it soon. The IAD-LHR return in early Jan still showing the 350 (which is what I think this service has been at least since the summer) so fingers crossed.

Do Club Suite bulkhead rows have bigger footwells? 77H specifically should it make a difference.

Not from the First seat map, but the Club World seat map will give the game away due to the number of rows. You can do a dummy booking in Club World, or post your flight number and date here and someone can check on ExpertFlyer for you.

Thank you! Missed that difference. Looks like it's the 77m for my scheduled flight (though it is far enough out who knows what it will be by then

Are the Club World cabins ex Gatwick of a decent standard these days? I thought they had been refurbished but I saw something on this thread that lead me to believe that those cabins haven't been updated since 2006? Thank you.

Any ideas if it is a 200 or a 300?
The aircraft configuration has changed yet again, and First has been re-installed up to Oct 30, 2021. Still a 777.

77H - new 777-300ER: 8F76J40W130Y
According to theBAsource seats 5A and 5K ‘appear’ to have no view due to missing window?
Are there any photos or reviews which show this to be the case or hopefully not?

Saying no view might be a bit over the top. Its normal to have misaligned windows in any configuration. The Club Suites would usually have 1.5 to 2 windows per window seat, however there are a few seats that would have a missing window, but will still have at least 1 window. 5A and 5K probably have misaligned windows.

On another note, Its nice to see that the BA source has finally updated its seatmaps.

Hi. Would I be better in 1A or 4A on 777 3 class ex LGW? I'm thinking such things as missing or misaligned windows, privacy, better service etc. I'm currently in 1A, but 4A is available where you don't have to step over a neighbour's feet. Any view on what's best? Thanks.

Thanks. Do you think there's no window at all or just less than normal?
