I have the same issue chose 3A/4A on BA MMB. Managed to change my seat to 1A on RJ but wasn't able to change my husband's seat to 2A so changed back to original allocation but wasn't able to do that on BA site or APP. In the meantime, I saw allocation of 1A and 4A on BA site but not on the seatmap (the two didn't match) and I wasn't able to switch back to original choice. Infact MMB wouldn't allow me to change to any seat I got an error message so I went back to RJ switched my seat back refreshed BA MMB and was finally back to square 1.
Fixed this by changing my seat first and then logging out of the booking. Then logging back in using HIS surname to choose a seat - all on the RJ website. Appreciate this may not work for you If you share a surname though!
I am now wondering if this in fact an 8F 777 with the front 2 rows unavailable since my route has no first, but the seatmap for the return was even more strange with rows 1, 3 and 4 missing on the BA app but visible on expertflyer and RJ.

Its not. Its a 3 class 777. The first one just returned back to LHR yesterday(G-YMMI). On the 8F 777s, there's no row 3 and 4.

Its the same as the one before. This is also the new 3 class 777 with Club Suite. For what ever reason, the seatmap doesn't show row 1 and sometimes row 2. Its probably the usual BA IT glitches. The High J 777 layout also reportedly suffers the same issue with rows 19-24 not showing up in MMB.

I just booked a 777 to JFK for January and it only offers row 1 and 2 for a First booking. Can I hope that this would be the new F cabin?

Its possible. One way to tell is to look at the J class seat map for your flights. If it has rows 5-17 it will be the old First seats (-200ER), if it has rows 5-24 it will be the new First seats (-300ER). Alternatively, you can use expertflyer and check there.

The seat map for the new three class configured 77L has now been added to the wiki
I will try to add a seat map for the new four class 777-300 (77H) tomorrow

Ah, ok. Old F it is, unless some new planes or cabins arrive by January. Are there any estimated delivery dates or refurb dates yet?

777 not matching seat maps in Wiki
Hi All, I wonder if anyone can help. My upcoming flight to MLE (BA61 out / BA60 back) has a seat map that doesn't appear to match any of the seat maps in this post.
Outbound, we're flying in WTP and the aircraft is listed as 77W in MMB. It has 5 rows in 2-4-2 config; rows 30-34. We've currently selected 32H&K.
Inbound, the aircraft is again listed as a 77W, and we were fortunate enough to find redemption availability for CW. It was a very pleasant surprise to find the seat map showing the new CWS (that will be a first for me!) - but with a seat map that doesn't appear above. It has a mini cabin of 3 rows; rows 5-7, then what looks like a cabin divider (not a galley or toilets), before a larger cabin of 11 rows; rows 8-18, with row 18 only having seats in the centre of the cabin (not at the windows). The toilets are located aft of row 18. We have currently seleced 5K and 6K for the long day flight (we can cope with 11hrs sitting a row apart, we'd rather have a window each!).
Can I ask your opinions on what type of aircraft this is and any seating tips from anyone that has experienced it previously? Dates, if they help, are 4th of November and 12th November.
Thanks all!

Sonic Star, thank you for your prompt response. Are you certain? I would note the following differences:
Still, thank you for responding
- You refer to 77H whereas my MMB refers to 77W
- The 77H has an additional (third) cabin of suites, which the seat map for the 77W doesn't display
- The 77H has a galley behind row 7 - the seat map of the 77W shows nothing more than a bulkhead
- The 77H has 4 toilets aft of row 8 - the 77W seat map shows 3 toilets aft of row 18
Still, thank you for responding
