I can't believe you decided against UD because of your bag? Frankly I would buy a new bag if I were you and go upstairs. Sure, a hard case which just fits the limits isn't going to fit in the UD overheads, but just get something squishable like a rucksack or a holdall and you will get the same amount in and get it in the overhead. They have a cupboard on the UD as well which they may let you put a bag in if it doesn't fit anywhere esle.I hope your bag appreciates all the trouble it is causing you

I've got my first UD trip with 64A/B (for Mrs K) booked for June and usually travel with a close to max size HBO. Is this impossible to fit in the overhead lockers and if so where do I put it?

Granted, some are more isolated than others - but this beeing a cabin of a maximum of 20 passengers and 2 cabin crew you'd generally be very pleased anyways
In my experience, the overhead lockers at UD tend to be close-to empty.

Just stepped out of a 747 couple of hrs ago. Was seated in UD exit row. Lacks privacy from front but you don't have to climb over anyone to get out. Also, I hate having to take the divider down for service but in exit row they can serve you from the front.
Loved the privacy of the UD but they need to put in some newer, bigger IFE screens. Existing ones are terrible!

If the bag won't fit in the overhead bin (and a full-size cabin bag won't), then there is a storage area at the top of the stairs (between the staircase and the cabin sidewall) where full-size cabin bags can go. Just ask the cabin crew.

Hi!
I'm flying the 744 CW for the first time next month. I'm currently in 64A, which as far as I can tell seems very similar to 64K. Is it a good seat? I'm flying on my own.
These are the free seats currently available; are any of them better than 64A?

My return is on the 787. I'm booked in 1A on that one. The cabin on that one is showing pretty empty at the moment (just 3 other seats assigned right now out of 35), so I could move anywhere. I like the sound of having 1A though on my boarding pass for a longhual flight

Hi,
I think 64k would be equally as good ( you will have less light from the galley as you have the wall of the bathroom in front of you ) but you may hear some noise.
62K is very good with unlimited access as you are facing the emergency exit door and the crew seats at the far side of the door.

Out of what is available, I would take 62K first and 64K second. I would only take 64A if those and 62A are all unavailable. The reasons are that 64A is more open (and is more likely to be disturbed by light and noise from the galley). But there are people for whom the more open nature of 64A is its great selling point.
As was said just a couple of days ago, there is no definitive answer to this question.

I am travelling CW on 777 3-class for a couple of trips in next few months.
Would anyone recommend the front or aft cabin in CW on this aircraft?
I understand aft cabin is nearer WT+ bassinette area but is there any clear advantages or disadvantages of either cabin from experience?
Are there an seats you would definitely avoid if possible?
Thanks in advance.

Always the front cabin for me - ideally in the second or third row. Much quieter due to distance from galley and WTP, and further from the engines.
