Cheers. I've taken it for now. Is rj.com at t-72hrs still the best way to try and snap up 15a and 15k if they're not already taken do you know?

Is seat 1A missing a window on 77L?
We’re flying to Heathrow soon
the aircraft type seems to be a 777-200 with no first but club suites (77L)
no one is choosing seat 1A currently
So I suspect that it is missing a window
can’t find any updated information on seat guru
would anyone like to confirm about it
thank you

Seats 1A and 1K on long haul flights (and all of row 1 on short haul) are restricted to Gold (or above) members until approx. 24 hours before departure. That's probably why they are still free.

I thought this, but as a bronze I’ve got 1K on an F redemption in over a month’s time. This despite 1F and 2F still being unoccupied and F2 A1 availability, i.e. it doesn’t seem to be a case of snagging the last seat.

Question for the 777 aficionados. I am travelling on a 77G on Wednesday. Currently in extra legroom 29C but 28 J&K are free. Row 28 is bassinet but cant tell if these have extra legroom. I am also wondering if I select one of the seats in 28 if the other would likely be blocked as I am BA gold. What would the travel pros on here advise?

Weirdly, the ba app home page shows 15k. If I go into manage my book it says 15f confirmed. Who knows what's going on. Website all says 15k as expected. Now to hope I don't get moved

Welp, looks like my flight from IAD-LHR next Friday (BA292) was switched from a 77M (CS) to a 77R (old product). The return flight on April 5 is still showing a 77M on ExpertFlyer, but a 77R on Seatguru so I'm not holding my breath.
What a bummer.
Any seat suggestions for 2 people on the 77M with the old biz product? 15A/K are the only 2 window seats with direct aisle access right? Of course those are both already taken...
Slim chance the aircraft gets swapped out again since the flight is only a week away, right?

Read through all 130 pages of this thread as I have a booking for LGW-MCO and wanted advice for a good seat. I have selected 4K on what appears to be a 32J version, either a 77S or 77T. I couldn't find much info on the access to the seat but I have come accross a video showing a reasonable amount of 4A whch I believe is a mirror image of 4K. It also shows a good view of the window arrangement i.e. the missing window.
I think the link will take you to the relevant part of the video but it is at 21:02 if not
