Note that on 772s reconfigured from 4 to 3 class, 4A and 4K no longer have a window. The original 3 class do have windows, but those same seats on an old 4 class now are useless if you want a view. The footrest gets a window, but the seat doesn’t. Found this out the hard way after flying TPA-LGW last month and at booking I paid to choose 4A and got a view of a wall. Nicer cleaner cabin though and less squeaks and rattles, but nothing to see. I always chose these seats because of the direct aisle access. I stole a spoon in protest.
Do these seats not have a window next to one's head? If not I need to change seats pronto as in the past I've avoided these seats like the plague!
Appreciate clarification on this.

Is this post referring to the new "densified" 10 abreast 777-200s at LGW? I'm travelling LGW-KIN next month and have booked 4K out and 4A return as they are no-stepover seats.

I'll be flying on BA182 JFK-LHR in November in WTP and would like to book my seat in advance. I'll probably go for a window seat Currently the seat map shows 23 A/K and 24 A/K available. Are they all much of a muchness or is one of them the "must go for"?
Edit: BA shows it should be a B772

Does anyone know the state of the 777’s operating LGW to Mauritius? Guessing it’s the old style light blue fabric seats. Config is 40J/24W
The total cost of upgrading from Y to WTP will be £500+ as I’ve already paid and reserved two seats in Y that I’ll lose and will have to reserve again. Not sure it's worth it if it turns out to be the old style WTP seats after paying that much to upgrade (plus the extra avios).
