I don't think you have any appreciably greater chance of being bumped from 64A than anywhere else.

Out of the ones you list, it'd be my choice by a long way.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: You always risk getting bumped to another seat. Is it likely to happen? Not really.

Was bumped out of 64A at the boarding gate a few years ago. As the gate agent handed me a new BP I was quite prepared for a confrontation until I noticed I was now in seat 1A. It was a day flight and my first first so some clouds can have a silver lining. :)

Good point. I am sure that there are way more bumps out of 64A to F than to another CW seat.

Is 64a not a cot seat and therefore will have a higher chance of bump?

Mind you I was bumped from 64a on boarding due to a broken seat and ended up lower deck middle.

64A is no longer a bassinet seat (even though the bassinet is still physically there).

Ok good to know as some information suggested that it can still be treated as a cot seat by some out stations.

And on board too, a CW passenger may request it if they have a child in tow. I have twice been asked whether to give up 64A for a child (that's still a low percentage). Both occasions I declined, though I was persuaded with an F seat on one occasion (to the considerable annoyance of 64B) and on the other occasion the CSD said "well I felt I had to ask, but I wasn't expecting any other answer, I wouldn't have moved either".

I think you can book 64A in confidence, unless I am onboard when it's quite a dreadful seat frankly.

No difference and potentially yes by ringing BAEC, respectively.
