Someone posted a trip report with a great photo of the E/F seats but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Thank you both JumboD and Mikey2124 for your considered and detailed responses...I really do appreciate it.
I'm not Gold unfortunately so no advantage there but will keep an eye on the situation over the next few months.
Many thanks and safe travelling.

LHR-SFO
Would like some help regarding this,
I'm flying with my wife (LHR-SFO) on the 70J 747 in Club World.
I've done the LAX trip on the UD and always got 64A which I love. I'm wondering if it's better this time to get on the LD on the E,F seats or will 64A/B will be good?

Having just flown EZE-LHR on a three-class 777, I thought I'd share my experience and changed opinion on seats.
On LHR-EZE I was in 5A, and while I did not have to climb over anyone to get to the aisle and I was able to be the first off the plane, the lack of the middle window made the seat feel very claustrophobic and made me realise that if I have a window seat, I really want to be able to see outside.
So, on the return leg, I chose 2A, and this was a far more pleasant experience. Granted, I was not the first off the plane and I did have to climb over a gentleman to get to the aisle, but it was a positive experience.
I suppose the moral of the story is that if you like a window seat in CW, virtually any seat except for 5A/K is good.

BA 777 World Club Seating config...dumb question!
First, I want to apologize in advance for the posting, however, I have looked and looked a feel a bit confused about the seating config/arrangements relative to traveling with another person in Club World on a BA777!
As I look at the seatmap, the Club World 777 offers 2-4-2 seating.
It almost appears that in the middle section (4) seats, that the aisle seats (D &G) are independent of the middle on each side and the two middle seats (E & F) are arranged to be together.
My question is can the seat/s be configured so that the aisle and adjacent seats (e.g. D/E, or F/G) are partnered with privacy for the E or F from the D or G??
Again, my apologies for this post but would appreciate any info I can use in booking an upcoming flight for me and my wife!
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.

CWLCY LAX to LHR Seat ?
I am on the above configuration(747) from LAX to LHR and got seat 11J which doesn't show on seat guru and on BA's seat plan shows it a row ahead of the bulk head row. Has anyone been on this or familiar?

Yes the E&F are great for couples/people traveling together, the best pairs are 20 as mentioned before and 14 if on the Hi J 744. There always used to be a curtain that came from the bulkhead to the back of the D & G seats further enhancing your privacy.

Seat: 1K
IFE: None
Type: Recliner
Power: None
the same as
Seat: 53B
IFE: None
Type: Recliner
Power: None
Which I found wrong in the extreme and the only airline I found like this was BA, all the others I looked at have correct info. So I went back to SeatGuru instead. http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Bri..._747-400_B.php

Is 4K on the LH 763 blocked for Gold?
I wanted seat 4K on an upcoming flight, and the Expert Flyer seat map shows it open, while the BA seat map (when I go to select my seat) shows it as occupied. My experience has been that EF will show 1A/K on the 744 as open while BA shows them as occupied, but EF marks them specifically as "premium" (with the little "P"). Worth calling BA, or just wait for OLCI to see what's what?
