A good set of ear plugs/headphones will silence any noise and of course you'll be off the plane a little quicker too!

Sixth Freedom did a mini report on this which you can read here. There is a full window blank here so you'd have to lean way forward and I personally wouldn't choose it.

Seating Confusion on Densified 777 (Club World)
Hi everyone, hoping someone might be able to shed some light as I cannot find the information I am looking for.
I am flying to Punta Cana in October and just found out that the seat layouts on the 777's have changed since I flew last October. I have a Club World ticket and last year we were in seat 4A and 4B on the 40J 24W and 219Y layout (technically this is row 3 but for some reason BA lable it as row 4, I think it is because of the staggering of seats in this class). This year I merrily booked my flight and went for 4A and 4B again and have now realised this is the new layout with 32 J seats. Does anyone know if 4A and 4B on densified planes are in the same position as 5A and 5B (technically row 4) of the 48J 24W and 203Y layout? On Seat Guru the window seat at 5A does not have a window as they are blocked out and I fear that this will be the same with 4A on the new densified configuration.
I rang BA to see if they had any information on this and guess what? Their contact centre staff had not heard of the planes being densified and was not in a position to help. In fact I could tell her more about the planes and she is now away to check it out!
Much appreciated for the any help you can give. All the best

Flying IAH-EDI in April. First leg to LHR is 777F. Does anyone know if the last row of economy reclines fully? Is it all that bad besides being close to lavs? Just want to fully recline and not have someone huffing at me for 9 hours.
*BONUS* Q!: Does anyone know how many economy seats are booked BA 194 April 8th? Trying to get idea of how booked the economy cabin is to see if I should pay for seat or if there is good chance of having decent picks for free T-24. Can't justify expertflyer as I don't fly frequently.
Thanks!

FWIW, there are only about a dozen seats allocated at the moment, and economy booking classes are 9 all the way down to both O and G - but this far from the flight that means very little so far as predicting the future is concerned.

If you are only after seat maps, I don't think you have to pay for EF.

In which case, asking now really will give you next to no idea of how full the aircraft will be. As I say, it's all 9s at the moment, but I've been on plenty of flights that have been like that a month before the flight but went out pretty much at 100%.
Indeed, the flight might in theory even be overbooked already. But the number of reservations actually taken at any particular time will usually be hard to get as airlines regard it as confidential information.
