I had a similar thought process a few months ago. When online check-in opened 1a and 1k were available, we had already decided to risk it so we took them. We were not bumped although at check-in the cabin was half full, but when boarding completed it was full.

I just checked and 1K is now unblocked and free. So I've taken it. And hopefully I'll get to hold onto it!

Couple and baby
Hi,
We're flying overnight in a 747 in F. We are a couple with a baby just under 1 year old.
5F is marked as the cot seat, but where would be best for the other adult? 5E in the centre or K across the aisle?
I'm very tall so extra space is always a consideration.
Thanks!

Im flying WTP from LHR - > CPT on a 747. Would this be the older WTP and CW's? Is there a way to see images of the cabin?

This thread is for First seating queries, take a look at Seating Queries: World Traveller Plus where you should find your answer (or be able to pose the question)

Travelling on a 744 to SAN next year with Mrs ExABZ, I have Gold status but unable to select 1A\K even though they are open on both outbound and inbound. Is there a reason for this?

Are you trying to select both? You can only select them if both passengers are gold. Best select one for yourself and the window behind for your wife if she's not gold. Nearer checkin you may be able to nab the other if it's still free.

Those seats are blocked for Gold status pax only. You would be able to pick it for yourself but not for Mrs. ExABZ, except if she also has Gold status.

777-300 (described as 77W on HND-LHR leg) we've got a totally open cabin to choose from. It's a day flight so trying to select the best pair.
Currently in 1EF, with 2/4EF available.
Row 4 is bassinet row so risky for change of seating if required.
Row 1 I'm assuming is by the galley, not best for noise?
Row 2 may therefore be the best option?
Window for both of us seems antisocial and we're doing a middle/window split on the night flight out, unless someone has better suggestion (maybe that's best both ways, assuming one lands the best crew member)?
Opinions appreciated!

On the 747 in F 1a/k are occupied, as is 4e/f.
Therefore I think 5e/f is the best option, despite galley proximity.
It's a day flight, we want to chat and want to be sat together. Only other logical pairing is 5a/e, I think, but that seems too distant?
2a/k also available but, again, daytime flight with chat puts them too far apart... Although a window seat each would be nice!
Am I making the best decision with the row 5 pair?
