Name That Seat! Thread - Guidelines
The aim of the game is to guess the seat number and aircraft type from a quirky/fun photo of (or from) a seat on a BA-operated flight in the current fleet.* There ought to be at least one clue of some sort in the photo, so we don't - for example - run the risk of endless Economy seat guesses.
There are only three rules to follow:
1) Photo posters: remember to keep it to one 'live' photo at a time (i.e. check that the last photo posted has been guessed correctly before posting another).
2) Guessers: you must guess a seat number and aircraft type.
3) Guessers: in the event of a wrong guess, please wait a minimum of 10 minutes before guessing again (i.e. let someone else have a chance at guessing before you do so again).
Good luck!
* Depending on how popular the thread is, we might - in the future - open it up to seats on aircraft types retired from the current BA fleet.

In that case, it must be 12C (and I’m guessing the exit instructions are just below the pic and the tray is somehow different in the exit row - no coat hook maybe? I hadn’t noticed hooks there (as opposed to the side of the seats) on the new interiors, but that may be just because I only ever sit in row 1 or an exit row!) I’m about to board a flight in Row 12 of an A320, so can check for myself shortly...

Both 11 and 12 are exit rows on the A320. The trays on exit rows have a little catch stops the latch turning towards the door when people walk close in an evacuation, leading to the tray opening at the wrong time.
Row 12 also reclines while 11 does not, making it my favorite, especially when it is not in CE.
Enjoy your flight!

You’re right!

Hmm, I think you might be right!
I've tried - as best as I can - to match that photo against my past bookings, and I think I was on the BA54, which tends to be a 744, not the BA56, so this would back up your thesis. And that means I was definitely in 64K, UD in CW. I'm not sure if that was guessed up-thread, but I don't want to cause any further confusion. Apologies!
