Managed to bag an I-class fare LHR-JFK-SJO-DFW-LHR for £2050 2 weeks out which i didn't think was too bad. Still a little way to go to retain gold with the TPs but was due a holiday!

LHR-JFK is currently showing as the new suite - I gather the seats are all the same and only difference is windows? Could someone kindly point me in the direction of a thread laying this out if possible? Are there any preferred suites? Front mini cabin mostly full. I'm travelling with my best mate but he'll likely prefer a window also rather than middle pair as they look at quite a distance anyway? It's the 777 obviously - running rows 5-17.

I've never done top deck 747 for the DFW return. It's pretty much wide open. Have currently bagged 64K and friend in 64J for now. I think consensus is that's a good seat with no one climbing over you - but not too close to the gallery for an overnight flight?

Thanks in advance!

64K is a very good seat (if you are under 6' tall), 64J is a terrible seat. If you want your friend to still be your friend after the flight, move your seats to row 62.

Thank you - i'm actually 6'4" so struggle to fit in club world (the few times i've flown it) and normally have to sleep at an angle and slip my feet round the seat in front of me when I can. Would love a longer stretch - is 64K a tight squeeze?

At 6'4" you definitely won't fit in 64K, it is a standard 6' long CW seat and there is a solid wall immediately behind the footrest which means you would have to sleep with your legs bent. You need to be in 62A/K which have nothing behind the footrest so you can just stick over the end. As an added bonus your friend won't have their head in the toilet.

Thank you so much...j

I just checked map and 62 A/K both taken...what would you recommend as next best window for 6'4" that doesn't like having to climb over people but does need to sleep straight!

That BA seat map doesn’t bear much resemblance to the real thing with respect to the exit row. Have a look in here: Boeing 747-400. Which are the best seats?

There is a bit of a gap between the end of the seat rest and the wall, I'm 6 ft 1, and I'd normally assume on more than 3 inches (why am I not using metric) from my heel to the bulkhead. At OLCI you can go for 64A perhaps, or call up for it, which has a bit more space. I would be ok to stick with 64K in your circumstances but grab 64A if you can.

At 6’4 I suspect you could be one of the few who will lament the end of the old seat, when you need to contort your legs to squeeze your feet into the foot coffin!
