TIA.
Assuming you are on the 77J variant, I would stick to row 5, preferably 5A.
Do note that the windows are slightly misaligned in row 5.
Row 11 has better window seat arrangement but way too close to the bassinets in PE!!!

Hi, Can anybody shed light on when the 4 class 777-300 may be all fitted with the new suite? Bagged a couple of rewards for next Feb LHR-SFO(I know a long way away) but the seat map is showing the old layout?

hi

I belive that by the end of the year all lhr 777s will have club suites ( ( at least that is the current plan iirc( so would expect a seat map change later thus year.

Are any of these particularly good/bad? Row 1 might be good for getting off the plane early if they’re still doing the disembarkation by row number thing (though I assume one departs through door 2L), but not sure if the service/food choices are as good up there… all opinions welcome!
Never saw a response for this. But have same question. What is the preferred middle pair for a couple on 77L CS?

My friend is in 20A on BA117 on 23rd March showing as WTB. I can’t see 20A in the seating plan for a 77L layout?

I'm just back from flying on a 77L from DXB-LHR in WTP. I've maybe been spoiled flying further forward mostly recently but the lack of toilets was quite surprising. With the seemingly constant queues down the aisle I effectively only had access to one toilet on my side of the aircraft which was shared by WT passengers too. The A350 out was a little more bearable with an additional toilet on the right side of the aircraft.

Ba 289 LHR- PHX today

Can someone confirm that I am reading the seat map on expert flyer correctly and this is a 77L with new CS that’s heading to PHX now?

If you are only enquiring about today's flight - then yes, the aircraft currently operating BA289 is G-YMMG which has Club Suites fitted.

Stick with 12J/K and put up with people climbing over 12J and having to climb over someone in 12K but good window views or change to 16J/K but only wing views?
Also the toilets and PE bassinet seem close to row 16.
Day flight, so sleep is not a priority.
Any thoughts?
did you get a refund for seat reservations?

Just a note to say thanks for the Aerolopa link. Was properly confused as to what plane type an upcoming flight was going to be on, apparently it's this one.

If you get a chance to check, or if anyone knows - is 1A/K missing a window? Wiki seatplan shows two windows, Aerolopa suggests one is blocked. I'm booked in 1K LHR-CPT in November. Thanks.
