Nice spot is rows 5 & 6K, or maybe 3 & 4 A, depending on whether you are left or right handed and like to sit with a glass of bubbles within easy reach of your left/right hand. With the Suites now, there's not much to choose between any window seats in CW suites, except positions of windows if you like to look out (Rows 7 & 13 are missing a window). Worth looking nearer the time to see if one cabin is quiter than the other, but I suspect that route is going to be packed!

Anyone know what seats the 77H WTP cabin has? We’ve tried Google but can’t be sure the pictures are the 77H.
We have this version on way back from NYC. We’ve currently reserved 34 A & B but not sure about this at moment due to proximity to the toilets, front row blocked at moment and would be preferred choice so monitoring it so we can try to reserve when they become available.

Are you on a 77M or 77H?. Those are the only two with a row 9. If that is the case, 9 is much nearer the toilets than 5, and 11 is a bit nearer. I'd go for 5EF if that is your main concern.
I hope it reverts back to the new J config in the next three months!

Any suggestions on best seats to Maldives for a couple - other half thinks the view dictates better to get two window than two middle - he's probably right 
We're on BA 77W and the seatplan on the app has the galley and toilets between rows 18-19:
Whereas https://www.aerolopa.com/ba-type-77h has it between rows 7-8 (From which I understand that 77H is uniquely identified as 77W on BA's seat chart).
Does anyone know which is correct - I'd assume BA knows how they've configured their plane?
Also any recommendations on seating for a couple, side of plane, or anything else for the Club suites and/or Maldives would be very welcome

It may be for ease of view that BA have cut out the galley between 7 and 8 on the seat map, just replacing it with that little block instead. Cheeky, but possible, as all BA 777s have the galley there or thereabouts, it's part of the Boeing design.
And 9k and 10k should be nice. Please report back if they are as good as I am told if you are going between now and the end of March, as I have those booked for our flight to LAX!

My companion and I are booked on a red-eye flying what looks to be the 77T configuration. Attached seat map right now:

This is our first time flying Club World, bummed they aren't suites.
Trying to get opinions on the best seat selection for us? I'd like to avoid having a stranger stepping over us, would rather my companion be the one to step over me or we are the ones doing the stepping! I was thinking 1E and 1F? I can keep an eye for if/when 4E becomes available with 4F. Thanks all in advance!

The above is assuming that 4E/F are not available. Galley noise in row 4 can sometimes be an issue.

A couple of issues to think about is that you will not be able to converse with each other properly and both of you will be staring at a stranger (1A with 1B etc) and during take off, descent and landing, the divider will have to be down. Other times, not a massive issue since you can put up the divider.
