Another question. 61A lacks the slip-around aisle access of 64A, correct?
I can never work this out from the seat maps. The main thread here shows the exit between 63 and 62, which is correct. BA's own MMB seat map suggests it's between 61 and 62, given the gap illustrated. Hence confusion.

Having lurked for a long time and searched for the answer to the below - I've had to admit defeat and register!
I have a booking on a Mid-J 747 and can see from the useful info above that 18/19 AK all have window blanks - but what I can't work out is if all the windows at these seats are blanks, or how much of a problem it is.
Does anyone have any pictures of these seats?
Thanks!

Welcome to FT, Moleish!
Only one window is missing at a time, and each row in Club should normally enjoy two or three windows.
This photo probably shows the effect in the cabin interior as well as any: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Brit...-436/2018665/L
You can also be reassured by looking at photos of the exterior of the aircraft (and it doesn't have to be a BA aircraft). The relevant part of the fuselage is the overwing area. AIUI, the missing windows are because of ducts that carry something from the upper deck floor level (= main deck ceiling level) down to the wings, possibly control cables. This photo, for example: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Brit...-436/5912159/L

After some advice. I've booked paid-for seats on my next trip to NYC in March, I'm in WTP booked for an 86J
We've booked seats 34A+B - are these good seats? I'd like 33A+B/J+K but these are greyed out and probably will be until much nearer the date

I've been in 35 J/K a few times and I'd definitely plump for there again as there's no one behind you. Nothing wrong with row 34 though and quite comfortable going to NY! There's a loo behind you at 35 but blocked off by a curtain and its really no issue.
Watch out for any aircraft changes though as March is a very long way off and in the current climate who knows if it will stick as a 747.
