What date are you travelling, the IKA route doesn't normally see a 3 class B777?

Yep, that's the one! Flight is BA153 on Apr 8
From what I see my best best would be to book 18 or 19 A/C and hope for the middle seat to remain blocked if the flight is not full.

I know BA does that on short hauls for OW Elites, is it the same on long haul? I fly BA a lot in Europe but my last long haul on a BA 777 was in 2012.

Yes that's correct, I can now see it has changed for the summer schedule.

747 Seating

I'm travelling to NYC on 04/02/17 at 8.20am and returning on 09/02/17 at 20.10pm, as far as I can work out we have a 747 according to BA site, it appears to be the double decker version with just rows 39-55, now I have read that these have been refurbished, will the WT section be the new cabin too?

Does it have any at seat power, we've booked the 2 seater in Row 53?

They have refurbished seat have the Panasonic IFE system, I think these refurbished WT seats are the best on any of our aircraft.

All 747s are double-deckers! But yes, the schedules show that your flights are planned to be operated by the version which has recently been refurbished in all the cabins. Some more details may be found here:-

Thanks for confirming that, hopefully it stays the same then.

As a Gold and with all seats open apart from 28K what seat is recommended on this 777 configuration? I presume row 28 is a bulkhead? Is 29C unlimited legroom like it looks? Many thanks

I can tell by looking it is a 777-300 and that's right there is a bulkhead IIRC.

29C and H are unlimited but I'd go for the K side as the crew tend to predominantly use the A side more. (confirmed by CIHY and certainly mirror my experiences in Y)

A very good seat and I've been there before, not on this but a similar LGW longhaul 777 (200)

29H!! ^

Hi all,

My wife and I will be flying BA59 LHR-CPT, which appears to be operated by the 74J configuration. Here is what the seatmap currently looks like:



I am oneworld Emerald (Executive Platinum on AA), so I should have complimentary access to all seats, including exit rows. We are currently booked in 51B and C, but I was considering moving to 40B/C. How much extra legroom is in row 40? How noisy does it tend to be next to the galley?

51 will be nice as it is a private pair of seats, but extra legroom would be nice - my wife is 5'5" tall (165 cm) and I am 5'11" (180 cm), so we are trying to weigh our options. Any feedback would be appreciated!

On the 4 class 772, does 26K, front row, exit, have a window before the door? Or is it a windowless window seat?

Thanks!
