Ba bisinessclass seat configuration

We're flying GOT-LHR-SFO-LAX/ LAX-LHR-GOT next year in business class.
When we reserwed our seats the seatmap at seatguru (I always check seatguru to get tips on good/bad seat reviews) was different from the seatmap at BA, we called BA and they confirmed that seatguru was inacurate.
Our longhauls are B777 and according to BA the seat configuration was 1- 2 - 1. Could that be the 777 with the new Club Suits?
We have booked directly with BA 👍

Hi

1 2 1 is the 777 club suite configuration.
the aircraft type could change between now and then. Ie it could go to an A380 which does not have club suites

Seatguru is not accurate

Regards

If you google Aerolopa the seat plans it has for Club Suite are accurate.

is there a thread about Club suites and prefered rows etc?

Are the center ones good for couples?

Thanks for any replies

Biggest helpful tip I can give you for 2022.....
Stop using seatguru. It's full of incorrect information.

The general new club suites seats thread is here:
New CW ‘Club Suite’ Discussion Thread
Also see:
BA Airbus A350: Which are the best seats? Master discussion thread
Boeing 777 Club Suites: route info and updates
Seating guide: Boeing 787 Dreamliner
There are separate seating threads for each aircraft type that includes recommended seats:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31623107-post5.html
You can click on the aircraft type and review the wiki and posts.
You should probably start at the aerolopa site identified above.

Thank you Jerry a.laska for your reply.

Looked through all the threads you kindly listed but don't see one that has pros and cons of various seats on Club suite layouts

Maybe its too soon for that kind of thing?

Thanks

The wikis in several of those threads list recommended or "best" club suite seats (including in some cases C-W-S recommended seats). For example, from the A350 thread wiki there is this:
Row 1:
  • A K have two windows
  • 1K is a bassinet seat
  • All seats in row 1 have storage spaces, flat surfaces used by crew and therefore potential activity by crew around seat area
  • First row to get served food.
Row 2: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 3, 4: A K have one window only
Row 5, 6: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 7: A K have one window only
Row 8: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 9, 10: A K have two windows
Row 11: A K have one window only (and great views of the wing/engine) Closest to door 2 if that is used to disembark. Be aware that the overhead bin has reduced space due to emergency items that are housed here (from this trip report)

Rear (Smaller) Cabin:

Note: some FTers have noted that vibrations in the rear cabin could make sleeping harder. corporate-wage-slave, bigmerv

Row 15:
  • has a bit less length in the foot well area
  • A K have two windows
  • A K are bassinet seats
  • has storage spaces, flat surfaces and potential activity by crew around seat area
Row 16: A K have 2 full windows at seat and views of the engine. (best seats for the view so far it seems)
Row 17: A K have one window only, should be best for the sleepers as only one window and most secluded space in the Club cabin. It has views of the wing/engine.
If you are flying a 777 then I would just spend some time reading in the 777 seating thread and looking here:
https://www.aerolopa.com/ba-boeing-777-seat-plans
Best Business Class Seats on 77L Configuration
You can also search some of those threads using this search "best" club suites couple" or club suites couple and some discussion will appear.

Yes, I certainly wouldn't use Seatguru as a definitive source - especially in determining the aircraft type on a particular route. It also has several misleading seat plans - but I still refer to it as one of the tools. There are some useful notes now and then and sometimes the user images are helpful. The seating guides on here and https://www.aerolopa.com are definitely better.

Even BA is not always totally accurate - I'm sure we all remember their 747 upper deck layout:
