All seats on all aircraft apart from the 789 are the same size; it's the surround that varies. I think 1A/K on the 747 seem to have a skinnier end to the bed, although this might be my imagination

Travelling to SAN next year and it's just switched from a 777-300 to a 747 
Traveling as a couple with an infant. Originally had the bassinet row. There was another couple booked and with the switch they have the bassinet now.
Whats the best option, currently have been assigned 4E/F which seems exposed. Would try for 1A/K nearer the time.

Seats have remained the same 2K,3K.

It is, you need an a/se shaped like a Toblerone to sit on the buddy seat. Irrespective, 1A/K on a 744 remain my favourite seats on the BA fleet, although I've yet to try the 789.

Which seats would you recommend for a couple in F on the 787-9 please? Currently in 1 E & F but wondering whether 1 A and E might be better?

Absolutely 1E&F
The seats are very private and with no buddy option you will not be able to socialise with your partner at all in A/E combo

Thanks. Why do you prefer row 2? Further from the galley?

To be honest there isn't much in it, I prefer to be further away from the bulkhead and not be able to see what is happening in the galley.

I have given my reasons above, as it's such a small cabin I think that it feels nicer sitting further back.
