I would personally avoid anything forward of the 62s. Anything aft of that is a matter of access/climb-over. 62K is fine: you may have a low metabolic rate, in which case you could consider socks, a sweater and a parka. Temperature has never troubled us in 63A/B [the other, downwind, side of the doors].
I had a look at your 63AB yesterday- they looked quite nice. The extra space on the UD is notable, the side bins are great too. On both flights, out to EWR and back from JFK I have never had a cabin where the temperature differs so much, one minute it felt boiling hot and the next it felt freezing cold... and others were talking about it so I know it wasn't just my awful cold making it feel like that, although I'm sure it made it worse!

Ok, all things considered, I have changed my PEK-LHR seat to 63A. Reason being that I do think 62K might have been cold due to the door and I hate trying to sleep and being cold, so taking T8's advice here. I also get the feeling that 62K won't have the side bins and I do like them.
However, should 64K become free between now & my departure date, then I will change it again if I can but happy that I've got 64K booked for my return flight in May.

I have upcoming TATL flight on 777 (4 Class) in CW. Can somone advise at what time the seats opposite the "cot" 15A/K are opened up? If you select these are you more likely to be moved? I assume these are the best in the CW cabin on the 4 class service?

Thanks,

NV

Seats 62A/K each have two side bins. One that extends as far as the floor, the other is shallower.

What about a 777?

I'll be a solo, CW traveller, LHR - HKG, in a 4 class 777. Any tips for a good seat?

Thanks.

I whole heartedly agree. As someone who is petite, climbing over a fellow passenger's legs is like taking one giant leap for mankind!

Greetings.

I am very sorry if I have missed this question in this thread somewhere.

I am travelling solo to DEN on what appears to be a three class 777, The system has allocated me 5B. I can't match that to what is on seatguru but it looks not too bad considering that there is not a row of four but the galley next door to it.

Any thoughts gratefully received, thanks.

15A&K but they are both bassinet seats which are reserved for those travelling with infants. If vacant, they become available to all at OLCI and I believe to SCH & GCH by phone at T-72.

Unless it's the new 777 that has 16 rows but there aren't many of them.

15A&K are shaded out at the moment. Shall have to wait until OLCI opens, as I'm a lowly Blue.

777-200 / 777-300

Can someone enlighten me on the difference in the CW seating between these aircrafts. My longhaul flights have in the main been on 747s and the odd 777-200 but never on a 777-300. On the 777-200 Seatguru shows the middle seats in the middle section of 4 (E &F) as being together. Luckily I have avoided these in the past. However, Seatguru suggest that these seats on a 777-300 are positioned slightly differently. Are seats E & F on the 77-300 slightly better and more private than on the 777-200?

No the format is exactly the same, the only difference is that there is one (I think) extra row on the 300 and I believe there are more window seats in front of the wing. The loos are all at the back of the cabin too

all of the 777-300's are four class, CW seating is pretty much the same as on the 4-class 77-200's with the addition of an extra row taking the cabin size to 56 from 48. the E/F seating layout is the same

Thanks, with that in mind, I have now changed my seat back to 62K Thinking about the space as a whole, I'm vertically challenged and I remember seeing much more space in 62K so I should have no problem moving around.
