I think I could deal with the 3am ‘alarm’, and the 5am arrival is marginally more convenient for me on paper, but as I’ll be straight into a work event, comfort and sleep are important. Prices are almost identical. Would you recommend the old CW (5K or otherwise) in terms of comfort for a tall fella?

Due to fly Club World MCO LHR in 3 weeks, seating arbitrarily reassigned from 1A and 1B and seating plan removed from BA booking system (Still showing for Outbound). Can live with being bumped but would at least like to chose alternative’s just wondered if anyone had any ideas why they’d remove plan.
TIA
TIA
Possible change of aircraft to one with Club Suites perhaps - it happened to me yesterday and had to ring to get seats sorted out.

Got the choice of Club Suite or the ancient CW on one of the five 2006 vintage 777s coming back from CPT in a couple of weeks. Not a regular club traveler and have never used the new club suites. I know it’s an obvious answer to most, however I am 6’4 and the Club suites look a bit tight for the lankier traveler. 5K is available on the old CW flight, which is a rear facing ‘bulkhead’ window which I gather would have slightly more legroom. Which flight is likely to be more comfortable?

Thanks for the replies. I went for the old CW simply because the price on the CS flight had increased by around £150 this morning and was now £250 more. So I guess the next question would be is 5K the best seat in the house for a tall traveler, or would I be better off opting for a front of cabin forward facing seat, or 11A/K? I do like a window, and I understand 5K is missing one, however that’s a long way down the list of priorities on this occasion.

Choosing Seats 777
Never flown BA before but it was the best option home from NBO to SFO. I am a little confused on the seat map. BA shows the first seat map so looks like the best remaining seats for a couple would be 13JK. But if I look at Seat Guru for that flight (BA#64 on Aug 27th), it shows a very different configuration that would put the best seats of couples in what looks like the middle, 14EF. So which configuration is correct? TIA.

Use the wiki at top or aerolopa
On Expertflyer it looks like a 4 class 777 with old style club seating in row 10-15.

Yes on Expertflyer it looks like the old 777. I did notice when we booked that First was not even offered and Expertflyer shows every seat in First taken. Does this seem correct or could it be that we will have an equipment change?

Not sure that NBO normally has First. Might be the case of 4 class used but only 3 classes sold, which has been quite common on Caribbean routes. A lucky few might get put in First cabin with Club world service if Club is over sold.

Ahh - got it. Thanks! We were able to do first on the connecting LHR-SFO fight so looking forward to that!

This seat plan doesn't seem to correlate with any of the seat plans on the Wiki or AeroLOPA. I'm travelling with 3 kids (all teens so old enough to sit in window seats alone) but if there is a galley between rows 7 and 8 then I will re-think my choice. It is BA189 to EWK. Many thanks.
