Do check the seat map as they often use the G-GAT planes on this route where row 1 doesn’t have a bulkhead in front, in which case row 2 (D/F) is arguably better (there is no row 1 D/F).

After checking both outbound and inbound, it seems that yes that is the case. However, looks like row 5 is the next available. With a CE cabin of 7.
I'm torn now between moving back but at row 5 run the risk of being short changed on the menu offering. We all know CE catering is never fully stocked, nor do BA take orders by status priority (like AA).

They do seem keen to board early though, so don't hang around - we were all on early this week and able to depart a good 20 mins early.
