I will soon be travelling to Sydney on BA15 in Y (-: I assume that this flight will be in the B777-300ER but whatever it's likely to be I am after some recommendations of which are the best! Y seats. I will be travelling out solo and returning with my partner.
I have had a look at BA Source but I am a bit confused by their ratings, I assume Green is best and Red is worst but what about Orange and Purple? I could not see a key to the ratings and the comments did not help either.

Purple are bassinet locations and think of orange as Amber which means there are comments giving you warning of things like 'near the toilets, near a bassinet' etc .
When you enter a seat number you'll see that. 2 fab seats in Y are 29 C and H as there is no seat in front of you. I'd definitely take one of them if available especially for your solo journey.
I've been in a similar seat on the 3 class 777 and it really makes such a difference being able to stretch your legs out. Row 49 is good for couples but is right at the back. Or if you can take the exit seats in row 37. The doors don't intrude on the a and K seats but there is no window there.
Another possibility is POUG (if applicable) and AUP if that's an avenue for you re cost. Or if it's in a relevant economy booking class UuA to WTP if there is availability but this isn't really seen as a wise use of them.

I was just on G-YMMU, an LHR-based 777-200ER with a 203Y config. I could not help notice that the very small WTP cabin only had 3 or so rows, and that row 12, the bulkhead, did not really have sufficient room to stretch out my legs.
I am booked in that bulkhead row, 12A, for a loooong flight to SJO on one of the LGW 203Y's. Would I in fact be more comfortable and have more leg-room in, say, row 13 or 14, as I could get my legs underneath the row in front?
Today I was in 26C and the legroom was totally unlimited and very pleasant indeed, albeit for a short MAD-LHR.
thanks

S
how was your trip? I'm trying to figure out the same (does the bulkhead row have enough leg room, or am I better off stretching my legs under a seat in the 2nd or 3rd row)?
Can one stretch legs by the end of the bulkhead in 12B/D or 12G/J? Seatguru comments are non conclusive.
Haven't been in PE on BA yet.
Thanks in advance!

New 777 10x Layout
Does anyone know if there is a seating chart available for the BA 777 with 10 across seating in Economy. I am flying to Florida in October and will likely be on one and want to grab good seats but am having trouble finding a seat map etc.

I think that the best we have seen at the moment is the diagrammatic maps offered by services like ExpertFlyer. See this post, for example, which has the maps for all the cabins: Densified 777 LGW seat maps

First being lost on some LGW 777's
Near the start of this guide is states that some (or all) of the LGW 777's are being refurbished with the higher 10 across Y cabin. This list includes the aircraft currently operating with First. I am hoping this doesn't mean that LGW will be losing First on some more of their routes?!!!!!! It would seem odd as BA have only recently opened their South Terminal First lounge.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Im booked on 777 LHR - TLV (BA0162 then BA0165) mid Feb, WTP seats 21G on the outbound and 12D on the return.
does anyone know whether cabin service is 2 sets of crew working both sides of the aircraft, or 1 set covering The rows with ABCD then EFGH, ie left to right?
from a seating point of view, are these a good selection (bulkhead?)?
many thanks in advance.

I'm on BA 2153 (3 class) to BGI in Y on 2nd March and have selected 17H because the online seat map shows the missing seat 16H in front with 17 as the second row in Y. All other seat maps I've found, including the BA website and Seatguru show the missing seat as 15H, with 16H as the seat to go for in the second row with the extra legroom.
Is there any way of confirming if 17H is indeed the one to go for to get the extra legroom on my flight? Row 16 being the front row in Y is blocked for me in Manage My Booking as a Oneworld Sapphire

Seat Maps on a 777 three class for WT+
I am on flight 2168 from Fort Lauderdale to LGW in July. I have picked seats 11 a and b on the seat map which is the second set of two seats by the window in WT+ on the left. There are four rows of 2 4 2 configuration. However, when I look at the sat maps for the ba for the 777 three class, they all are in the twenty something range. Is there a new configuration that is not on the British airways web site???

Sounds like the newly configured 777 which now has 10 across in WT. WTP is increasing from 24 to 48 seats as well.
