I just want to know what is best - a forward facing seat (better for take-off) and not lower the seat fully, or a rear facing seat fully lowered?

right, but when the plane is flying, the front is normally raised, so i don't want my head to be lower than my body - if lying completely down in a forward facing seat, my head will be lower down, and will give me a headache, unless i don't lower the seat fully.

Personally I don't think it is noticeable. In any case I prefer rearward facing since they are the window seats (apart from on 767s) and therefore more private and less disturbed by aisle traffic.

I'm looking into flying on the UD of a TATL 744 for the first time. I spoke to a BA rep and it appears that the only available two seats together are 63J/K on the day I inquired about.
Are these reasonable seats, or should I check availability on another day?
Thank you.

I prefer aisle seats (I'm short and don't like having to crawl over people which I have to do in the window seats in CW). On an upcoming flight (ORD-LHR 294), the only aisle seats remaining available on the upper deck are 60B, 64B, and 63J (windows 63A and 63K are available). I don't want the emergency exit responsibility so don't really want to take 63J.
Would either 60B or 64B be worth prereserving? Or would I be better off just choosing a lower deck seat? There are two center aisle seats left available in the forward cabin and most of the seats are available in the main cabin (for example 17J which would mean no one climbing over me, right?).

I am flying NRT-LHR on a 777 in CW later this year. I will be flying with another adult and 2 children (aged 3 and 5). I know people generally recommend trying to get the 4 middle seats where the bassinet position is as the children can take the middle seats and have space to play. However, these seats are already taken.
Any other recommendations? I'm mainly wondering whether 4 middle seats are best or 2 rows of seats B and D (across the aisle but facing in same direction) so can get proper face-to-face contact throughout. I'm guessing the former, but would be keen to hear advice from people with more familiarity with the CW cabin and the 777. Thanks!
