64K [puts BA CW above other airlines' J seats]
I have bashed BA in recent years and fly a minimum these days. However just had a 64K trip last night for the first time in years, and compared to AA/CX/QR/EY this is hands down the best seat.
OK forget IFE/food/tired cabin/bus on arrival at LHR, but if i could get this seat every time it would be BA 100%.
MF crew were excellent also.

I have flown club world on the 777, A380 and lower deck on the 747 when op up'ed. Booked a return to JFK in October on a 747 on both legs and went to book a seat, looked on the upper deck seat map and 64K free both ways! Very happy that it seems to be a good choice.

The only downside of 64K is proximity to the toilet and the very occasional smell that wafts out, hence my preference for 62K and then 62A.

For my first UD trip I was in 64A on an overnight flight. The light from the galley was constantly shining onto the seat and I could hear what sounded like cutlery juggling for most of the night! I wouldn't want to sit there again.
I've gone for 62A on my next trip, better or worse than 64K? I imagine 64K suffers from galley noise too?

The whole upper deck has the added advantage of being much quieter than the main deck, and the cabin crew to passenger ratio is better than the main deck. Additionally the window seats on the upper deck have the extra side storage bins and when they are closed the extra surface area at the side. One of the main advantages of 64K is the direct aisle access too. With the blocking of 64A as a bassinet, 64K is now my go to seat.

I can't say the proximity of the toilet has ever been an issue in 64k either for daytime or overnight flights.

I've always taken 62a/k over 64, so can't offer any direct comparison.
62 is also an awesome seat, with the only downside being the slightly compromised view out from the UD, with the angle of the fuselage and extra lean across the storage
