Thanks for the helpful image. Do you remember if the bulge from the door was a problem for the window seat passenger?

I'm 5'8 and I've never had a problem with it, and I doubt you would unless you were very very tall, as I wasn't exactly bumping against it. It does mean there's a bit of a draft, though, so you might want to cover up.

Other plus points is that your first to get fed and first to get some sleep. Pack your first class eye masks and drop a tablet and youre bound to get 4 or 5 hours on the way home.
The last thing to note is that the cabin is tight. The last few times we have had a blocked seat and spread out over the three. If there is someone next to you in ecomony then I would reccomend eating one handed. I tend to choose the J&K on HJK side as I am right handed and can fork it in easily..
To be honest it's not great in Economy on these frames but if you can get two side seats in that front row with an empty middle seat it's a very very pleasurable flight.
Enjoy Barbados, we are there in January too (flying club this time)

Apologies if been asked before, but I'm flying club suite soon (first time in J! the only BA cabin i've never taken oddly enough) and does anyone know if the row 5 bulkhead seats in J are any different? e.g for qatar the footwells for the bulkhead are larger than regular J seats. Would be much appreciated.

No, it's a non issue however you can get (1) a slight draft as mentioned - although I have a wife of a certain age who is running a little warm and quite likes it and (2) it is by the loo of course.

Now choosing way back seats and going for a middle pair so we can chat, everything from 9 to 15 is free, so plenty of choice (and a week before flying, so don't have to pay either!) - any recommendations?

We’ve been changed from a 77H to 77M, travelling in WT+, any seat recommendations? At the moment all seats except front row are available. Can see from the guide that it’s the 2010 WT+ cabin.
Are they gonna be the Royal Blue seats or the newer Navy?
Planning to sleep so want best option really.

Hello.
I am flying on a 77M in J. Flying with partner and all front small cabin seats taken.
Would 10 E/K be the best choice, is row 8 and 9 too near the loos/galley (we want to be able to talk to each other during the whole flight)
Also, is anyone able to tell me if F was ever for sale on this route. (LHR-YYZ 11th Nov BA0093)
Seems od to fly with a F cabin but not sell any F seats
Thank you

I think we are on different 77s then
row 1 and 2 are First on my flight (thought not first sold on the flight). then 5-8 are mini cabin (all booked out) and then 9-17 the main CSW cabin.
I didn't know if during a day flight if row 9 (front of large cabin) would get noise and people walking by going to the galley more than lets say row 11. (3 rows back)

I had a flick through here but go lost. I'm seeing a 777 layout for CPT in April that shows 5 rows of CS in front cabin and 5 behind the divide. 3-7 up front and 10-14 back. Can't work out what version this is as doesn't match aeroLopa.

I'm seeing the same on a 777 to LAS, and others have reported this as well. ExpertFlyer shows the 3 class 777 operating it with CS, so this looks to be a bug in BA. I've seen it show rows 1-14, then the next day 5-14, then the next day 2-14, and now 3-14
