What’s the situation with UD seats on the 747? I am blue so don’t get free selection, it allows me to pay for the seats but only a couple are available - seemingly at random. There are only four selected seats but my choices are 63 J/K and 64 B.
Expert flyer shows all seats available up front and 64 J/K. Is there some sort of limit on the seats that can be paid for on the UD? Seems like quite a random selection. Also I would have thought they would show as blocked on expert flyer.
Does anyone know when the rest of the seats will open up - I assume at check in / 24 hours?
Thanks!

The answer is a definite maybe:

If you know which configuration of 772, some here may be able to provide a more definitive answer.

Really? 64B is perhaps the second worst seat on the UD, after 60B, for similar toilet door reasons.What could you miss out on? Window seats account for 50% of the UD seats, so the cabin crew aren't going to forget to offer you something just because you're in a window seat.

Does anyone have any suggestions for 2 people on a 777-300?
My wife will murder me if she doesn't get a decent view from the window on the daytime flight, but it obviously doesn't matter on the night-time one.
I'd be picking 16k if I was on my own, but I don't really want to be in the aisle right next to the toilets if she's in that seat.

It used to be that the 64AB pair could be paid for, but when 64A was returned to being used as a bassinet seat that was taken away and 60B was provided instead, although 60B is blocked for crew use on some flights.

My wife and I have got seats coming back from Cape Town next month on what looks a fairly full Club cabin (only one UD seat not taken). We've currently got 64B and 64J bagged and the LD options for two don't look appealing (ie we really don't want an adjoining pair in the middle!).
But since 64B is the second worst seat on UD
, should we be looking at trying to get 64A (and 64B, obviously) as a pair? If so when might 64A become available? On reading this thread it seems like it is T-72, local time. Confirmation would be appreciated.
Alternatively, should we be that bothered about being split over the aisle?

Hi All,
First time on BA longhaul, but familiar with UA, AA, VS, and LH J product.
A traveling couple from TPA - LGW - LHR - ATH in a 3 class 777-200ER 32J/52W/252Y set up. Row 1 A/B and 4 A/B are available. I've read through all pages and didn't see anything specific about these seats, or much on this aircraft.
I prefer a window and wife indifferent. I was interested in row 4 since it was cheaper, and near the door allowing us a quicker exit, clear immigration and head off to LHR. However, read row 4 is missing a window, or all windows? Any input is appreciated. We land LGW at 7:50 and depart LHR at 12:15pm. I'm thinking we have a enough time.
Many thanks,
Andrew

Is 64A an exception in that only passengers with infants can book it? Which means I can likely nab it.
is 64J/K not able to be selected unless you are gold/silver?

The general consensus from what I’ve read over some time on this forum seemed to be that 64k is the best CW seat on a 747, then it’s said in here it’s the worst because of the toilet door? I know it’s each to their own, but I wonder if I should just swap to 62k for aisle access and centre of the cabin?
