Photos now added for the views from rows 1, 2, and 7. If anyone has views from rows 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 and would like to contribute them that would be very much appreciated.

To leave seats available for any couples travelling. It doesn't make sense to put one passenger in each row, leaving couples that check-in with a bunch of single seats to choose from.

Anyway it's not exactly an issue as, like you said, you can change your seat allocation. Neat eh?!

Many thanks ClassicLover. I would be grateful if you can. Hopefully we can cover all the rows at some point.

I didn't manage a pic of the iPad but it looks like you have one but I do have some of the view from 6A

I'll PM you later re how to get them to you.

I am in row 5 next week on the BA2, so if I wake up in time I'll try a picture.
Great job on this post btw, I had no idea about the arrivals service - I refused it last time when I was on the 4, and had a shower at work, but in fact it takes me closer to my office and the showers are probably a lot nicer. I will certainly be requesting it this time.

EDIT I just saw Flythe96Flag's post re row 5, so I may swap rows to help you out!!

This would be very much appreciated snuffi. Any of rows 3, 4, 6, or 8 would be great.

I need to add some comments about food and also the SNN stop as well to the thread as well which I will do soon.

NP. It's a pretty full flight next Monday but I have swapped to 4A.

Want to add my thanks to KARFA for putting together this hugely useful resource. BA Source put me off row 2 but seeing the pics I'm happy with just two windows and no overwing view. Great job! ^ ^

For what it is worth, I would not like row 3 for a day flight, the windows are in an awkward position. You either have lean back or really lean forward. For a sleeper service it makes no difference of course. Row 4 was much better, albeit directly over the wing.

Row 6 & 7 are great for windows. 6 is my fave however. You can put a row 6 seat in a nice recline and just look out the window for hours.

hello KARFA - I'm on BA1 day after tomorrow (20th) in 8A. Do you already have the wing view you need ? If not , I'd be more than happy to snap a pic and send it you
