On B777-300ER aircraft with CS, the blocked seats are 8K and 19A/19K.
On B777-300ER aircraft with CW, it is only 16E&F
Basically pick whatever Business seat you want on 4-class B777’s as you will be safe (unless they change the aircraft config)

You may get a seat next to you blocked if there are empty seats and Theoretical Seating kicks in.

If seats 29 C or H are available these really are great economy seats as there is no seat in front of you so you can stretch your legs. If any of them are available I would nab one.

We prefer it and so by the seat maps so do many others but YMMV. Flying as a couple we prefer middle seats in the old CW as the new CWS is not nearly as intimate...

Definitely choose the mini cab. I prefer window, so generally choose window seats on CS for both me and my other half, much to the disapproval of my other half since she likes to chat to me throughout the flight (which the middle seats do allow you to do) but the window seats don't

Could anyone help?
We've booked flights to Nairobi next March (BA065) in CW and when selecting seats the first row is 10 which I think means its a 4 class aircraft - issue is they are not selling first class tickets and never have (we booked early with companion voucher)?
We need to pay for seats so I'm unsure whether to pick them now incase they change the aircraft again - has this happened to anyone else?

Hi I'm flying on BA117 to JFK next Monday in club world. Am bronze so seat selection is now open but all seats from rows 1 - 17 have been taken with only aisle seats from rows 18 - 24 left. Prob the best of a bad bunch - I've taken row 18 for now but any insight from others on what they'd pick from what is left? (we're travelling as a couple)

Hi
Does anyone know what 1k and 2k are like on the 77L (refurbished 3 class) layout are like? Have a flight planned on that aircraft and have reserved those sears but wondering if made a mistake? It's an overnight flight flight and I'm quite tall so hoping that 1k is a bit longer than normal. I'm not too worried about galley noise.
Edit: it's an overnight flight
