BA0107 - Which 747 Version?
Hi there,
We're off to DXB later this week, on checking seats via Manage my flight it appears that we've been allocated 36D-G. However according to Seat guru these are limited recline in V2 of the 747 (Most common), but ok for V1.
So I'd look to change at -24 if I can and the aircraft is a V1 type, although it appears the flight is rammed so may have to do with what's been allocated as there are 4 of us.
So how can I tell if the aircraft is a Version 1 or 2?
Also what are the meal options for this flight, hot lunch and snack before DXB?
Many thanks

Ignore seatguru, it is out of date and plainly wrong in a lot of cases. It just wrongly assumes that because there is a bulkhead behind there is limited recline.
V1 is the Mid-J aircraft, and V2 is the Hi-J aircraft. You will be able to tell on the seatmap on BA.com if there is a row 37 or not.

Yes it varies so the only reliable way of finding out is by the MMB facility. If the World Traveller Cabin starts at row 28 then it is the Mid J aircraft.
We went out on a Hi J and back on a Mid J just last week.
