Pyjamas in F
A quick question for those more knowledgeable than I. Where do people change into their pyjamas? Are the lavatories in F so much bigger than in Y? I just have visions of lots of contortionists!!! I shall be taking my premier F flight later this month from LHR to DFW so I am unsure of the etiquette with the pyjamas.
Thanks so much! Andrew

Also on other aircrafts, accessible CW lavatories are bigger than regular ones and offer more space to change.

Essentially whenever you want, space in the wc depends on the airplane type. By putting the shelf/seat down over the toilet it can give a bit more room to change.
In my experience on day flights people change just before they plan to lounge or sleep and on night flights people often change during boarding.
In short, do what’s best for you.

The lavatories are the exact same size as others have mentioned however there is a seat that folds down over the toilet which can help when putting shoes back on etc. Once I noticed a passenger had changed in the lounge and boarded the aircraft in PJs so it all depends I suppose.
On most recent flight I found the lavatory more spacious on the 781 over the 777 although can't say for sure.
On the subject of lavatories on BA there is nothing that stands them out compared to other carriers F or Business class lavatories.

I try to board early then change during boarding.
Glass of bubbly.
Change into PJs in the toilet, as above if there's a flip-down baby-change shelf, use that to fold/stack clothes so I can slip them into the locker without too much creasing.
With luck, another glass of bubbly.

I know that the above is very unlikely however I for one never thought I would experience it and I did.

I generally change in the lavatories but on occasion, if wanting more space, I’ve also changed in the lounge and gone to bed with pjs on or pj covered by jeans which I then remove at seat.

Once upon a time I would have agreed that this would have been the best option until I experienced a full evacuation of an aircraft. Fortunately I was not in PJs and had my shoes on and ever since this it has made me realise that it is best to remain in outdoor clothes until airborne as I for one don't want to be going down a slide in PJs or without shoes on and end up on the tarmac and then in the terminal with no clothes on.

Indeed, doing so demonstrates that you know exactly what you're doing.

Most aircraft have curtains that can be pulled across at doors 1L and 1R which will give you far more room to change, just ask the crew to pull it across for you.
