Thanks clubman. In regards to what I meant with the numbering, I've seen some with DE, some people claim a C seat, etc. As far as I can tell the center seats are EF now. So I guess things have changed over the years. I'll go for 1A or somewhere in the F row. Can't imagine they're too bad, it's still lay flat versus LH J.
A long time since I have been in the CW cabin of a 767, and I was still pleased to be there, especially on a short haul flight.
I like the J cabin on the 767, which has a nice spacious but a slightly exclusive feel, which is lacking on the 8 abreast on a 777.

More likely it's because the people sitting next to you on one or both sides have a cold. Being cold or in a cold draft doesn't cause a cold, although being stressed by it does lower your immunity. Most likely way to catch a cold or flu on a plane is either sitting next to someone sick, or touching something a sick passenger touched (could be the passenger who flew in your seat inbound was horribly sick, so everything you touch on the seat can infect you. Not to mention bin latches and covers, door handles, sink faucets, etc. Maybe cabin crew picked up a sick passenger's plate and glass just before fetching you a drink. Lots of ways to get sick in the air!

BA 747 - 61K (upper deck) or 20A/K (last low lower deck)
My coveted 64A/K and 62A/K seats are not available on my next BA747 flight (I've never not been able to secure these seats).
I'm currently reserved in 61K on the upper deck. But, 20A/K in the last Club World row on the lower deck are also available.
If one is concerned about aisle access (day flight), should they go with 20A/K instead? Or, do folks suggest sticking with 61K upstairs?
Thanks for the guidance.

Hi,
I would stick with 61K personally as I find the Upper deck better than the main deck but YMMV.
Also I would keep checking the seat map often as the pax ion 64/62 may change to other flights and the seats may become free.

I think the lower deck gets a raw deal on here....we had a wonderful flight to YVR in row 18A/B.

I had 20A recently and found the privacy good despite it bring close to Y. There's also around 3 inches of extra legroom.

It'll take more than 3 inches to make up for being next to Y

The lower deck does get a raw deal but given the choice, the upper deck rules.

Generally though I target upper deck, as those middle rear facing seats are only nice if you are not sat next to a stranger!

I have flown in 20K and it is very private. Fantastic view down the wing, too. And i'm struggling to see why being next to Y (actually it's W, not Y) is such a big issue. Are previous posters scared of catching something?
