Row 11, 12 mini-cabin - very quiet and private
15A has no windows
21 only 1 window.

Y+ seats:
32H/K have lots of legroom.
30D/E/F/G have huge legroom, but passengers walk in front of you to access bathroom. Light spills from bathroom particularly onto 30G.
31A has no window.
34H gets disturbed by the Y section curtain.

Y seats:

J seats:

Y seats:
Row 39 and 67 are bulkheads with better than average legroom and fold out IFE screens
Row 46 missing the window
Row 53 ABC, HJK has very generous legroom but are missing window due to EMEX position. A and K have emergency slide constraining leg room. All seats are near lavs, so some congregation of people. 53DEF has good legroom at bulkhead.

Yep. And PE passengers want to use that toilet (entitled or not):

+1 to staying away from 23A.

Hi everyone!

I will be on the 777ER service from LHR HKG and looking for an economy seat. I am quite tall (190cm) and would appreciate some good solid sleep on the flight (as far as it can be in Y).
I couldn't find any videos or picture of row 39 online. Can anyone provide pictures or personal experience? Would appreaciate it. Thanks!

Taken in 2017 so it took quite a while to locate this. This is 77G/77K/77H seats 39A&C. I am short (170cm), so can't tell how nice the leg room would be for a 190cm person. If you really care about leg room, I would choose exit row.

Thank you very much royng! It gives a good idea of how the seat will be although it will be new economy seat. I assume the bassinet forces them to give those seats more legroom. Still not huge. I think I will be happy with 39A, since the emergency rows are voted to be very bad..

I had no problem with exit row seats except the aisle ones which meet a lot of pedestrian traffic

I am 190cm tall and row 39 is absolutely fine for legroom. As always though you run the risk of being booted out if a baby turns up, or worse, having to sit next to it for 12 hours.

Flying HKG-JFK next week in business class. Currently in 12A and wife in 12D. Are those good seats? In the front mini cabin. Have seen above 15,16,23 have lots of differing thoughts. What would you say are the best seats for a couple?

thanks

mini cabin is good, however when I traveled with my wife, I love to take either two window seat or middle seat, like 11A/12A or 11D/11G.

With the 777 the further back you go the more noticeable the engine noise (and it is lound). The mini cabin is the best place to be seated if in biz class. If you can't get two windows, 12A/D would be a good choice. The two centre seats are not that conducive to talking (at least not comfortably, or in a manner that won't disturb your fellow passengers).

Flew over Christmas and had 12D and G both ways and very much enjoyed the mini cabin. Chatting to my partner wasn't impossible. I didn't really notice the reported noise arising the the crew use of the storage area in the bulkhead in front of row 11 in either direction.

If 1 & 2 A aren't available, just 1D & 2D, which is better? 1D seems closer to the bathroom....maybe 2 is better? Called to try and get the coveted A seats but they are assigned.

I am a 2-is-better guy. The cabin behind is a J mini-cabin, so noise is almost non-existant. On the other hand, most noise heard in the F cabin in my experience are the FAs talking in the forward galley. Space away from there is therefore preferable. I also prefer 2 because it gives me time to see an FA approaching before they can see me blowing my nose and reduces foot traffic (if you're in 1, then FA walks past you every time they see the guy in 2). On the other hand, if you want lots of drink top ups without using call button, maybe that's better for you

2D would be better compare to 1D, but not very much difference

2D. I can't think of any argument in favour of 1D. Did you ask for 2K? IIRC that is available on request as well?
