Where are you seeing buddy seats in F on the 789? You would sitting on the footstool (which you aren't supposed to do), and the tv is where your head would be.

Same here, but 1A/K only if B747, no other seats.

I just arrived home today on BA272 from San Diego (SAN).
This was my first time in FIrst not being on a A380.
It was a 777-300 (G-STBH) and quite a new one, being under five years old.
It was a nice clean aircraft with a good cabin crew, however I was really disappointed with the storage space. Compared to the A380 it doesn’t have any storage space beside the seat, and even the wardrobe has much less space than the wardrobe on the A380.
It probably wouldn’t stop me flying in F again on the 777, but if I have a choice it would be the A380 all day long for me.

Crew were fine with me sitting there, so perhaps the rules have changed (flew in March). As mentioned it’s not particularly comfortable.
