BA Airbus A350: Which are the best seats? Master discussion thread
The questions are already starting, thought I would start this thread along the lines of the other excellent seat resources on the forum.
Wiki has the info I have noted from videos, blogs and other sources, obviously all without having actually been on the aircraft yet myself so still subject to change once people get onboard and can verify, add or correct the info.

Please post your thoughts and questions in the thread...
Safe travels.

It appears BA has recognised the issue with the IFE boxes under the seats and at least from pictures I have seen the IFE box is thinner and less intrusive in WT+, there does appear to be more space in the A and K seats than the B or J seats for leg room, however, the box is far thinner than in the past (from very few pictures so this comes with a big caveat until people fly it!)

Is the entertainment box also less intrusive in WT? That's where it is the real problem on the 787, essentially occupying the entire space where you would want to put your foot (without having to angle your pelvic or knee joint). Has the A350 got a smaller entertainment box, alleviating this problem?
I haven't looked at all the videos from the 29th Press day so maybe someone will be able to say that was there (or see it in a video)...
The WT+ box looks to be only about 1.5" thick and attached to the aisle side seat mounting brace. I hope it is okay to post the following cropped photos from third party sites with links to those pages and crediting them for the photos...MODs please amend or let me know if this falls foul of the rules.
First from God Save the Points (link: https://www.godsavethepoints.com/bri...m-club-suites/ ) this crop:

Also from Simply Flying, link: https://simpleflying.com/ba-a350-best-seats/ this different seat and cropped photo:

Hope that helps and illustrates what I imagine to be the IFE box changes. Looking at other photos of the middle row of seats it does not appear the F side has an outboard IFE box so maybe they are both inset near the centre seats? Time and experience will tell...
Any other photos, corrections, additions people have noted so far? TIA.

I commissioned the BAFT Art Department to produce a higher resolution version of the Club World cabin layout. Window positions are included so I hope this version will be useful to you. A link to this thread been added to the forum Dashboard.

EDIT: seems we have a confirmation in the posts below so unless this changes, we now know where the bassinets are in Club and WT+. Wiki updated.

From a Head for Points article (and info from JFX1764) on the new Club Suite:
Rows 3, 4, 7, 11 and 17 all have one window only.
Rows 2, 5, 6, 8 and 16 have one and a half windows each
Whilst rows 1, 9, 10 and 15 all have two windows.
So, be ready to bag your preference!
Safe travels.
