First time flying with CX.
Question about 77G 39K (economy) and 77H 30G (PE) seats I have selected for my return flight from Europe.
1) Is it so that in both cases IFE screens are mounted on the wall? So I need to bring longer USB charging cable in order to use USB port located in IFE unit.
2) How about headphone socket? My ATH-ANC33iS noise cancelling earbuds have heavy battery compartment in the middle of the cord so wire hanging on the air off the wall is not an option.

2) Headphone sockets are in the armrest on both seat types.
If you can i would move from 30G. Legroom is good but it is right by the toilet door and there will be a lot of light spill and people milling around nearby. Every time i fly that cabin i think how horrible it would be to sit there.

There are also two 77W PEY configs -- one with the front lavatory where 30-31HK would be (4-class planes; 77H) and one without (3-class, 77G). Having flown 30G on the config with the front lavatory, I'd agree that on that config, one of the other front-row aisles/windows would be preferable (and 32HK particularly desirable; 30DE might be preferable for a light sleeper) but on the other config, it's no different from 30BCH.
Regardless, I'd still always take one of the front row aisles/windows over 30EG and any of the front-row seats over anything else in PEY (indeed, I'll choose specific flights to get a front row, even if it's not quite my ideal schedule.)

Better to get 30D if you can for 77H PEY. Or better, 32H/K, 31A/C (best two) (the only four seats I will consider in 77H PEY). 32H is normally blocked until check in opens.

Thanks guys.
Looks like I mixed up 77G and 77H versions in case of my seat 30G in PE booking.
At Cathay website my PE seat map doesn't show lavatory in PE section so it must be 77G then. There are no lavatory between J and PE cabins so I'm safe.

On my CX250 flight on september 18th, expertflyer shows 40C as available, but when i go to select my seat on the CX website it's not available, and it hasn't been since i booked the flight a couple months ago, is it just not aviailable for me as a OWS or is expertlfyer wrong?

I'm taking my first CX flight from SFO to HKG. I've read all the posts in this thread, and don't see much info on seats 39 D, E, G. Right now I'm in 39D. But 40K is also open....is it worth switching to 40K and risk being next to the basinet? I'm indifferent about a window seat, but definitely want extra legroom. Also, on the CX App Seat Map, it has 40D and 40G listed as Premium Seats. Why is that? Thanks.

* 39D/E/G are bulkhead seats - somebody likes it, and somebody hates it. I don't like bulkhead seats.
* 40K is not a long legroom seat. Whether or not you have a baby next to you is unknown. Personally I like aisle seat.
* CX has a habit of designating their front rows in economy for their premium passengers.

Hi Guys,
I am on a lastminute booking in Business class from YVR-HKG. It is the 777 with no first class(CX837). I wanted a window seat and there was only 19K and 21A. I have chosen 21A, is this the best choice? I understand it is near bathroom but I wanted a window and seatguru says 19k has no window.
Just wanted to confirm this was correct because seatguru is often wrong. I have searched a fair bit but there is misleading info (some people say 19k does have a window?).
EDIT: I think 19k on the 77D has a window but I am on the 77G(I think) so 19k def does not have window. There are more than one seat in row 15, so this means 77G right? Looks like 21A is best choice of the two.

And of course with the first condition comes high chances of op ups
