Thanks, unfortunately I do not. I'm a DL flyer with no status elsewhere at the moment.

Traveling in WT+ for the first time with DH, our 4 year old, and an 18 month old. Currently in Row 12. Should we try to move up to 11? I'm not sure how much the 18 month old would use the bassinet- but it is an overnight flight.

Row 11 could recline quite into your space which would be very annoying with the lap infant. Absolutely take Row 11

I think I will need to call them. It won’t allow me to move us all to row 11. I get an error that it needs to be saved for someone with an infant. So it would let me do two in row 11 but then would need the 3rd either behind in row 12 or across the aisle- which isn’t ideal with two adults and a 4 year old

Can anyone kindly advise if 23A/K in WTP on the 777-300G config (non Club Suite) has restricted window view? May move forward for a MIA flight in a few weeks however Aerolopa map seems to suggest that there's only one window that may be slightly behind normal head-turn view!

777 Change

We’ve been changed from a 77H to 77M, travelling in WT+, any seat recommendations? At the moment all seats except front row are available. Can see from the guide that it’s the 2010 WT+ cabin.

Are they gonna be the Royal Blue seats or the newer Navy?
Planning to sleep on way back so have the seats at the back of the cabin reserved at moment.

Does row 21 on a 787-9 have full recline, or any IFE boxes?

I'm in 16B at present, but don't really care if I sit back in 21B next to the toilet if I could stay reclined all throughout the daytime flight.

An older review but nonetheless still valid and by Prospero. I'm sure the B seats have an IFE box which impedes your foot space so beware of that too.

One cautionary note however, neither 21A or 21K have a window but a partial view is provided so long as the seats in front are not reclined. All the other window seat enjoy window views though, including bulkhead seats at row 16.

I'll stick to my present seat.
No window is too reminiscent of A380 flights from LAX-LHR (the one that arrives at 3:15pm) where everyone seems to close the blinds for the entire flight to sleep even though it's been light outside for hours.....

Most pictures and videos involve someone sitting in the first row, or immediately being say down and the plane taxiing. Did see a video just now and definitely no windows in row 21.

Is it the A350 that's got some changes in IFE box placement?

Back again.

Anything better than anything else on my 777-300 type G or N - whatever it is. LAX-LHR overnight flight (no UUA options unfortunately)


Not fussed by the 22B and J legroom, and they might have a good a toilet view as the Y cabin at the back of the upper deck on the A380 does.

Hopefully I won't have an immediate seat mate.

Is there any advantage to booking row 15 on 77L (3-class 772 with Club Suites)? BA doesn't advertise it as extra legroom.

Thinking of booking SIN-LHR and return. Is there any difference between the WTP products between the 777 and 787?
Thanks

Very little. On that route the big difference would be if there was an A380 service since WTP window seats get the handy side storage unit. The 787 is a more pleasant aircraft - quieter and better air quality - but that's irrespective of cabin.

Question re WT+ on the A380:

I prefer a window seat but on a long flight I'll probably have to get up a few times to use the head.

If the person in the aisle seat is reclined, how hard is it to get past them? Don't want to have to bother someone a bunch or climb over them.

This is wouldn’t be possible (except maybe for those who are exceptionally slightly built). The issue isn’t just if the person next to you is reclined or not, but also whether the person in front of them (or you) is.

For this reason I usually prefer an aisle to come and go as I like. Or, if available, 61A or 61K are your friends here as both are bulkhead window seats with easy aisle access.
