Two Infants in Club World (777)

Hi,

This will be my first time to travel longhaul with our newborn twins. Seating question: does Club World have two adjoining bassinet positions ? Perhaps 15 E/F (the middle back)?

In years gone past I had always assumed that those seats were a double bassinet but when I go to book online it suggests there is only one bassinet.

Thanks a lot in advance,

JAO

It depends on the plane. The 777-200 only has one bassinet, iirc, however the 777-300 has two.

Onlynik is correct. Thank you, Onlynik!! Checked with BA on the phone. At first the fellow said all 777s are the same but after I asked him to check the seatmaps for two seperate flight numbers it turns out that Onlynik's observation is on the money. Aside from window seats, 777-200s have only 15E but 777-300s have 16E and 16K. Thank you! Luckily our family's desired route operates 777-200s and 777-300s. The wife and kids will be happy and I am breathing a sigh of relief. Few!!

We'll they are wrong, on the 4 class B777 there are 3 bassinets in the positions I mention above and yes one adult per baby.

Forgot to mention, both versions of the 777 are 4-class.

It's the Tokyo route, with the Haneda flight a -200 and the Narita flight a -300. Why the two aircraft types would have different bassinets, I do not know. I had thought both aircraft are the same width...

FYI the seatmap for the -300 aircraft (accessible when halfway through the booking process) did not show basssinets at any window seats in Club. Whereas the -200 had three singleton bassinets (on each side and one in the middle).

Thank you to all!

I don't think it would be possible to have twins in one bassinet position with one adult due to a lack of oxygen masks.

I don't fly on the -300 enough to know for sure if there are also 3 bassinets at 16A, 16EF and 16K.
Hopefully one of my colleagues will be able to help.

Actually, I am wrong.
You could have one baby on the lap and another over 6 months in an approved car seat.

Are you saying that parents with twins can't sit together because of he oxygen mask situation? I have booked my family a party of 9 adults 3 children and 3 babies (2 are twins) and we have taken most of the mini cabin on a 3 class 777 with babies being situated at 10B and the twins in 11E/F. we obviously want to keep the family together. Are we likely to be moved ?
