Well a nice alert on My Flights - my Apr/May F to KUL has just changed to 789 - also confirmed on MMB - have grabbed 1K & 2K and 1E & 1F to try both. Can't wait for the first feedback
*** many thanks to KARFA for his tips on here regarding My Flights - has been very useful this past week!

They're definitely not 17.5" on the 788. Seatguru is full of inaccuracies. 17.5" is likely the new seat width.

Hi all
Coming into this a little late but I have a couple of J reward seats to KUL in March. This is now down as a 789 and I have seats 6 and 7 K which in seat map appears to be a 2 row mini cabin. I am assuming 7K will have direct aisle access also as the map shows the galley behind this row. Have these planes entered service yet or does anyone have thoughts on whether these seats are any more desirable than the others?
Map show second J cabin rows 10-13
Cheers

No one will have any experience of these planes yet. However, you are correct in your assumption, that 7 will have direct aisle access (there is no other way it can be done).
Enjoy your trip.

They are going from 17.5 to 18 (or perhaps only 17.8 which can be rounded up to 18). most of the extra space will be taken from the aisles with a small amount achieved by moving the window seats fractionally closer to the wall.
The aisles are already very narrow but the cabin in small and the flights are long so the impact narrow aisles have on service and boarding speed ought to be minimal.

(Oh - and it's only a further inch and a half of seat width up to CW!).

Every little helps.
On a more serious note, people have complained, BA have listened and increased width and pitch. Struggling to see the joke.

Yep. Realising their mistake, then taking the trouble to rip out over 1000 virtually-new seats and replacing them with new ones is to be applauded.

Any thoughts on what plan is for aircraft between delivery and first scheduled flight (c. 4 weeks) - just training or might it pop up on 'proper' flights?
