The wikipost to the HKG equipment changes thread does say "The 777-300ER (77W) [aka 77N] is the 777 variant usually operating to HKG."

I recently flew this route with Mrs S on a 777-300. We had 1F and 1K which we found excellent, using 1K for buddy dining. We were not at all bothered by any galley noise, and had a whale of time on what was essentially a 12 hour meal with extended aperitifs and digestifs.

For my sins I am flying in WT from LGW to ANU in a couple of weeks time. I appreciate it is down the back but can anyone advise on best seats for myself and Mrs HG? It's a last minute booking and emergency exit seats appear to be unavailable even for cash, although I'm not sure if this is due to it being booked via Amex travel (I'm BA Silver).
I'm going to ask for some advice on the seat load thread too as most of the cabin appears available currently for seat selection, so hoping loads may be light down the back.

Hi all,
I have a trip on a 4 class 777-200 with CW in rows 10-15.
As far as I can tell, the only bulkhead seats (15A, 15K) are blocked in case someone will travel with an infant. They will be released 24 hours to departure if no passenger with infant will select them.
I have a dilemma, because I am not sure if it's worth buying a seat (don't have BA status) or wait until 24 hours before departure. I would happily pay for 15A and 15K right now if they were made available, but I don't know how I feel about paying for a non-ideal seat.
At the same time, if I don't select one I could get stuck in the middle.
10 D & G are available for $140. Though I am not sure if they will be serving other passengers' meals over me. In these seats there is no middle seat passengers who need to go over you.
There are other aisle and window seats available too, cabin is about 40-50% full at the moment (from seat selection chart).
I don't have a good idea how full the flight would end up being. I normally fly different routes than this. In case it's helpful this is for a Tue departure around middle of January from LHR to SEA.
If you have any advice, feel free to share.
Thanks for your help.

On LHR-YYZ BA 99 tomorrow. The seat map changed overnight to show rows 2 and 4 now available. I guess this is F used as CW. Given how unfilled the regular CW cabin is, what are the chances my 2K seat section will stick? Should I chance it or stick with one of the better CW seats in the regular cabin? I have a strong window preference..
Thanks

When looking at a flight to St. Kitts in December, quite surprised to see that based on the seatmap almost all (good) seats are already taken!? It seems that the Carribean is truly a cash cow for BA. Nevertheless, based on the current seat-map, what seats would you choose? And no, there is no requirement to sit next-to-each other if this means a better seat 
I've already set-up an alert on expertflyer in case a window seat pops up.

If youre looking at a pair, the back ones have guilt free recline but there is more room further forward as the cabin narrows considerably at the tail. I have chosen the second row of twins ( row 43 in this instance ) before as there is some space on the window side along side the twin row in front ( row 42 )..
You will be almost last off of course and if loads are low then a 3 with an empty middle seat is best of all.
Whats the route/date and I will check the load for you.
