Hello fcfc, a dummy booking for that date shows:

28 BC and 28 HJ, the front 2 pairs of exit seats are taken.

29 A and 29 K, again both exit seats, are free at the moment. It's still a very long way off but fingers crossed they may be available to purchase nearer the time and reading the BA Dashboard it is between 14 and 4 days out.

How bad is the bustle at this exit? Never flown in this WT layout.. fortunately just a short hop to TLV in a few weeks.

Thanks

Nice! Ah well, looks like there is still a scarcity in photos of the IFE's down the back on many of the aircraft types for the time being.

744: Row 40 WT

Hi there,

since there is no 747 seating guide and the World Traveller seating queries thread is closed I thought I'd ask here:

Is row 40B/C a good choice for the 747? We have the 145Y configuration and this looks like the only seat that has additional leg room.

Assuming two are travelling, how about the back of the plane where there are two seats together? Ok, you may be among the last to get off but you will not be sat next to a stranger.

Thought about that as well but problem is I'm 6'6" and I don't think I'd fit into a standard seat

There is a bulkhead at row 40 so no additional legroom really.

See this video @ 3:12 and 19:13 for row 40 space and legroom although 40C does offer putting your legs out at an angle as the bulkhead stops a little short parallel with the seat. Therefore this allows you to stretch out at a very slight angle although your feet would be in the aisle just a little.

If you're 6'6", for the good of your health you should not even be considering travelling in long haul economy.

Hi

Could someone advise whether its worth grabbing 39 J & K on a super high J 747. (BA112). Currently in 41 J & K. I know there are toilets on this side of the craft. But are they located towards the WTP cabin or cover the whole space between WT & WTP cabins. Therefore seats 39 H J K are an audience to the toilet brigade? Whats the exact layout on that side?

(Unfortunately 40 A & B are taken.)

Thanks.

This should provide a clearer picture of how the cabin is laid out: http://thebasource.com/seatmaps/744/14f86j30w145y.html

Thanks, so, to confirm is it a bulk head partioned wall infront of 39 H, J, K? I can't imagine the galley is noisy on the overnight back from JFK. It was more the toilet that would be the decider but I can see thats forward in the WTP cabin.

There is a galley between 39JK and the toilet, you will be able to see slightly into the galley from 39J but I don’t think this would be a problem.

Single traveller on the Mid J 747 - should I go for 28B or 29A? Short Overnight flight ex JFK. Any thoughts?
