Row 21 would be my preference in this situation. You'll have the main cabin filing past you on boarding, but 11A/K really are vcery close to the galley and WCs at the front, with a lot of foot traffic and potential for noise and disturbance. Ideally I'd be picking something in rows 15, 16, or 17, A/K.

I used to do 15DG on 77G but switched to 11DG on recommendation of other flyers. No galley or WC noise concerns (c.f. 11DG on 33E/K or 35G)

I guess it depends on how sensitive a person is to noise and increased foot traffic. I tend to stay away from any seats at the very front of rear of the cabin unless there's no other option.

11A/K
Hi,
Does anyone have any opinions on 11A/K as I generally choose seats in the middle of the cabin (for the 3-class 777) and would like to see whether these seats are great for a day flight.
Cheers.

This is pretty subjective... but if you're happy with a seat in the middle of the cabin, why change? Row 11 is close to the galley, close to the forward WC. Both cause increased foot traffic. Row 11 has a bulkhead smack-bang in front (can reduce the sense of space) and always looks a bit confined/dark. I guess it depends what the motivation is for selecting row 11... it might save you a minute or two disembarking from the aircraft.

Do the bulkheads provide extra foot room? Or any extra room as I am 6”7’

1A is somewhat exposed to the galley (and 1 & 2 DK are all exposed to each other, but you're not considering those anyhow)

I just booked PE LAX-HKG-SIN and chose 32K for both CX885 LAX-HKG and 884 HKG-LAX (on the 77H it would appear). It appears as there is a divergence of opinion on these seats - not enough legroom or OK legroom. I wanted the leg-rest and a window so I chose these. Hoping the bassinet shelf won't be in use, of course. I am 5'10"/160 lbs. so not super-tall nor wide.
30 A/C were occupied, although I did get 30A SIN-HKG PE on the A330. HKG-SIN is regular economy (77Z it looks like so at least no 10-abreast economy) as there is no option for PE if you take the daytime LAX-HKG (other than overnighting in HKG which wasn't offered anyway). I chose 45C.
Hoping my choice was not the wrong one!
