I think there can be a bit more vibration on those units attached to the bulkheads but on a 777 there's plenty of vibration anyway. But the seats are identically made and a lot of the debates we can legitimately have on legacy CW seating - in my opinion - now falls away. It's essentially down to what to do for couples and families, but the seat itself doesn't vary.

Our return is on the 77W (or 77H). I read the whole thread but no one really recommends the best pair. The mini cabin is full. We have 9A and 10A but pretty much everything else is open. Thoughts?

We seem to have drawn the 77H for our flights to and from MLE next year. Obviously this could change, but I was wondering what the collective wisdom would say about the best WT seats for a family of three in that configuration. Currently eyeing either 49ABC of 49HJK, which looks to be the last row of the three-seater blocks. Can't do row 40 (exit row) as child is considerably younger than 12, so looking for the next best thing.
Thoughts welcome!

For the older (fwd/back) J configured 777 - how is the access to the window rear facing seats (A, K)?
Would there be an issue for an older person (who does not have explicit mobility issues, but nevertheless as all people of age may not be too nimble)?

So thinking either 1B or 3K to avoid stepping over anyone. How tight is the passage out of 3K?

If you want window and unrestricted access, my choice is 3A followed by 3K.
1B is a good aisle seat since nobody climbs over you but you do get a lot of foot traffic with people going to the front toilets and galley as well.

Flying out to Jamaica from LGW in J, old club seats but suits me and the wife fine as we like to sit together! Looks to be the 32J configurations.
From the seat maps, I am guessing row 4 would be the best seats for a centre pair, even though one is a bassinet so currently blocked, as you would have direct aisle access?
Is it T-72h the bassinet seats normally open up? I have searched, it looks like this may not be standard practice anymore so I may have to call. Appreciate any advice!
