All being well I will be on BA208 from MIA-LHR with the same configuration as above - flight is almost empty so far only 3K and 5A occupied and 10AK blocked for bassinet. Probably the best thing to ask is which seats to avoid rather than best ones to choose.

I've had to book a fairly last minute flight and am restricted on which seats I can choose. Flying on a 77L config in WT. Does anyone have experience of 25C or 25H? I am traveling with a disabled individual so 25ABC / 25HJK are both open to me.
Looking at the seat maps it feels like either seat will be looking directly down the aisle towards the front of the plane, which is fine. I'm more concern about cabin crew catching my fee as they move between WTP and WT.

I’ve also been allocated the same seats for a day flight. Are these good for couples ? I.e. can you easily see who you’re travelling with and chat together (the cabin pictures I’ve seen suggest it’s quite a small gap to talk through). Wondering if 2 windows would be better.

You wouldn't be able to talk with each other or see each other with two window seats. Window and Aisle are quite separated too, especially with the suite doors. E&F are really the only option if you want to see each other and talk. The gap is a bit bigger than it appears in photos, but you might have to lean forward slightly. (Though as an aside SWMBO and I are both taking window seats when we fly to LA in Club Suites (fingers xd) next year )

My booking has changed to the 77G (300ER), older style where toilets are at rear of First cabin.
I've picked 1A as a result, which I'd never usually pick - usually 2A - because in most F arrangements that's usually by the toilets.
Any advice on whether there's a better alternative? Travelling solo, want quiet, away from bassinet potential disruption. Not sure how loud galley will be in this 14 seat arrangement on that side.

Hi all,
For the first time in a few years I’m booked to fly BA long haul economy back from Bridgetown in early January on a ten abreast 32j 777 to Gatwick. It’s a companion voucher booking, and we got club world on the outbound, so it’s not all bad news. Obviously I’ll be checking for business or premium availability every day until the flight happens, but should the unthinkable happen and we have to fly in economy, I’d like some advice please.
I’m 6.3” tall and a gold card holder, so I have basically the whole cabin to choose from at the moment. I’m thinking the front row of the front cabin is a bad idea, as the bulk head usually reduces room to stretch my legs and there could be infants, so I’ve gone for row 32 and hoping the gold block works and we get the three seats to ourselves. I’m aware the downside of these seats is that they are right by the toilets, so I’m also wondering if I’d we’d be better off sitting in one of the pairs at the very back? Or with my height is this a stupid idea for 7.5 hours?
Would be great to hear from someone with experience of these seats, however I appreciate there aren’t many world traveler experts in these parts!
Thanks

Id stick to the legroom seats. Unlikely you'll get a spare seat though on a BGI in January. The standby lists are often 40-50 long with staff (and retired staff) using their free tickets, of which there are loads to use up following the hiatus.
