I was on YMMI the other day. I believe J is the same. So yes awful IFE by RC I am just surprised that this is being used ex HKG. My flight was ex DEL. The IFE is antiquated. Seats and service was ok although I was in business. The WTP cabin looked small.

Hi, I am traveling with my wife and two kids in World Traveller on BA273 in April for a holiday in California. It's a roughly 11 hours flight from London to San Diego. We haven't travelled long-haul in WT for a while now but decided to go for it this time for budget reasons.
I'm now considering my seating strategy.
I'm BAEC Gold and one of my daughters has actually managed to rack up silver. My wife and youngest daughter are both Bronze. I was thinking that maybe it makes sense for us to, instead of going for an extra legroom seat like 29H, go for seats further back and hope for seat block. I have now put us on 45 and 46 H and K, leaving an empty middle seat between us. Worst case I guess we could ask whoever gets that middle seat to swap. What are your thoughts on this strat?

There are two windows. One is forward of your seat. The other is right by your head and half obscured. You have to twist your head to see out, but it can be done!

I am travelling back from PHL in July in First. Originally it was on a B747, but it has changed to a B777-200 with 17 First class seats. I believe these are the ZZZ* registered aircraft?
I notice in a linked thread on page 1 of this thread, these aircraft are described as ‘the dogs of the fleet’ and ‘have a poor reputation’ (albeit it is dated 2011).
DRAFT - A Guide to BA's 777 fleet
Are these aircraft really bad? Has the ife been updated?
I have booked seat 2K – is that decent? Apart from all Row 1 and the middle seats on Row 2 the rest of the cabin is available.
Many thanks
BM

Trying my best to figure out a seat for this Saturday's JFK-LGW flight in Club World on a 32J refurbished 777.
Here's what's available for windows, which I prefer:
4A
1K
Usually I take a bulkhead like 1K but I am understanding that I'd have to climb over 1J to get aisle access? Or not? I read that 1J "doesn't have a passenger climbing over the footstool" but I also read that 4A and 4K are the only window seats with direct aisle access.
Can anyone clarify?
Thanks!

Thanks for that reply! it's a late night flight from JFK so missing windows isn't a big deal-- nothing to see except maybe on landing, maybe the Croydon skyline 
So, window is less important to me than peace and quiet..... of course 1K is close to a galley and so is 4A right? Any preference between those two in terms of noise? otherwise it's all seats in the middle section available.
Thanks again!
