Y on 777ER - which seat?
Hi,
we are a couple who will be travelling from Hong Kong to CPH via DXB on 777-300ER. I am thinking about choosing the double-seats in the rear, but I am afraid that there will be to much noice and traffic due to the lavatories. Also serving tends to be a problem in the rear (nothing to choose from).
Another option is to choose the window seat and aisle seat in the front, and hope that the middle seat will not be occupied. But what if somebody shows up? I am not good to handle such "strange" situations :-) And if the plane is quite full, that will happen.
Maybe I should just go with window and aisle on the night leg (Hong Kong - DXB), and two seats in the middle on the daytime leg (DXB-CPH).
Any thoughts?

Hi Jensine
There are plenty of threads covering seating in the 777ER and all other aircraft in the fleet. A quick search will yield several results.

We went on the 777-300ER in October and sat in seats 47A & B, these were great seats and we didn't really notice much noise, as for the choice of meals we didn't miss out as they actually started serving from the back. It was a little bumpy but I really didn't notice it to be any worse than further forward in the cabin. Enjoy your trip!

46B Fixed Handrest + More Leg Space
I just flew on the aile seat of the first of the two seaters 46B from SFO to DXB a 15.5 hr flt. Has lots of leg space but hand rest is fixed and the width of the seat seemed a little less. Some of the meal options ran out and people were standing next to my seat taking a break. Me being a big size guy always have people and carts brushing past me if I take a regular aisle seat but no such problem here. Overall a better seat if you need more leg space.

so I avoid the back as much as possible.
