I wasn't being snarky, it's a great seat, there's just the unpredictable risk that comes with being right in front of the bassinet seats. I flew it in May and had an awesome flight. Can't wait to fly BR again. Just need to order my meals in advance next time.

11K has been my favorite seat whenever I traveled in RL over the years. I did not remember being disturbed by crying baby. More disturbances from opening/closing curtains by FAs or Elite pax looking for toilet.

Are all the 773s (apart from the HK ones) the same? Option has come up to fly via Vienna and it’s a 773 from there too like from JFK

TPE-VIE operates with 77M aircraft, JFK-TPE operates with 77A aircraft. The difference in RL is the location of the lavatories, the Panasonic EX3 on the 77A, and the tablet-style interaction on the 77A. I personally prefer 77A because of the use of the new and brighter LED lighting in the cabin compared to the dim yellow ones in the 77M. There is no difference in the shell of the seat.

It will depend on the routing and whether or not that day's jet stream force it to go high up into Alaska or cut through the West Coast of the USA.

And yes, they would be to the north, off the right side of the aircraft. That time of year, you are likely to take a northern route due to strong jetstream.

Hello all, I'm flying YYZ-TPE on a 77A in economy. If selecting seats by the window, does it matter if it's the first section (row 45-58) or the second section (row 60-73)? I won't be able to select bulkhead. Would one section be roomier than the other? Thanks!
