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.

How come the fuselage is on the right hand side then? If it's an A seat shouldn't it be on the left?

64A (upstairs in CW on a 747) faces backwards, sort of over the stairs, towards the galley, if that makes sense.

What's that on the wall on the left-hand side of the photo? A door? I can't work out why you appear to be sitting in front of it... Also, it looks like you're in the row in front of a bulkhead, from the top-right of the picture. I'm going to say a K seat on a wide-body, but can't narrow it down more than that.

And not sure what we're meant to be looking at to guess the route. I want to say the JFK-LHR day flight just because that flight number has a different catering pattern from the rest, but it's a total guess.

Quirky/fun photos of seats (always on BA metal) are most welcome, and I think there ought to be a clue of some sort in the photo, so we don't run the risk of endless Y seat guesses for example.

So here's an easy one to get us going, as it clearly limits the possibilities to only a few options.

Good luck!



Name that seat!

Yay a Snugglebundl. Handy I would imagine for a bassinet.

A total life-saver. Easy and quick to get the baby in and out, walk around the cabin etc. I recommend this approach 100%!

I would say that you are on a A380 going to HKG.
