We also have a leg from CHC to SYD on B777-300ER & are in row 7 A&B have read that these have offset window again should we move or for the 3+ hour flight is it not a major issue?

In J whilst they do serve from the front, they divide it into sections, so rows 7-14ish will be served by one FA, then 15-26 etc. etc. The service is not going to be swift anyway so I wouldn't worry about that. I find it is uncommon for them to run out of food choices. You can amuse yourselves at the bar whilst waiting for food where there are some quite edible snacks laid out if you are feeling a little hungry!

I don't think the window is a big issue unless you like to sit and stare out - the ambience of the mini cabin I think more than makes up for the misaligned window. I am rarely disturbed by the galley noise even sitting in 7B/J - if it does become an issue, earplugs are available. Or alcohol!

Any recommendations for J seats on a 777-300ER? I'm surprised at how full the flights are, but have managed to get aisle seats for all 4 segments (CPT - LGW). I've selected 7B on 2 segments, 7D on the other two - anything in particular I should be aware of, or better seats I should try to get?

I'm not worried about meal choices, etc, as I have a special meal; my biggest consideration is having enough space around me (which I imagine shouldn't be a problem in any J seat).

7B and 7D are fine.
On a recent trip I even had 7K. Which a few people don't like, because of only one window instead of 2. It was fine, and plenty of room in all seats.

Having space really depends on how, err, to put it delicately, big you are...:D

There is a little area the seat frame itself to put things like a phone (you can charge in the USB port there too) and glasses case/wallet etc. Apart from that there is a small place to store shoes between you and your seat mate, and a magazine pocket under the screen in front of you.

I think it's a perfectly adequate J seat, especially in the more intimate mini-cabin. If you are a light sleeper, ask for ear plugs.

Ha ha, that's why I like 23A/K as it's not too far to travel back.

So row 23 on an A388 isn't too loud from the bar? Trying to find the best E/F seats on an A388 in J. Was thinking either 23 or else maybe 20.

Any thoughts out there?

Thanks in advance!

The bar can get a bit loud. The area just behind FC is good except they have the bassinet seats there. Last flight had a baby in FC and then the bassinet row full of babies was long flight!

I don't find 23 to be loud at all, but I am someone who is usually sleeping with earplugs or listening to music/watching movies with headphones. Very rarely am I just sitting with nothing on my ears, so it would have to be very loud to be heard.

Any noise has never caused me any problems. Always 23 if available.

3M earplugs available on request...and you can use the noise-cancelling headphones or escape the bar!
