Your post indicated that flying LX F is sufficient. It's not. It was particularly unclear given that OP had specifically raised the ticket stock issue.

Seat 4D
I booked seat 4D on my flight from ZRH-BKK (mini-cabin).
I know the galley is just inches away on the other side of the bulkhead from the pics I've seen on FT and online.
Would it be very noticeable (light and sound) if I've got my noise-cancelling headphones and/or earplugs on while sleeping?
I would imagine there won't be too much back and forth traffic from First Class to the Business Class galley, so I'm inclined to stay there for now.
Thanks!

4D's footwell is way better than most other seats. Also, the galley isn't near, you'r behind a door that leads to F. The galley is behind the mini-cabin
I have flown in 4D. It's one of the better seats in J. Sadly, even despite being swiss, I'm losing a bit of my love for LX since I'm not super impressed with their J product. F on the other hand is another story… ridiculously good!

Re ANR headphones: they are definitely necessary on that noisy plane, and LX does not provide any.
I've set an expertflyer alerts for the thrones, and will check at T-48 hrs, but 4D and 5D are my alternates if I can't snag such a seat.

Traveling with a newborn in LX - F 777
Hello guys,
In July i will travel with LX from HKG to LHR via ZRH in F with my wife and our newborn baby (at that time around 1 month old). Does anyone have experience or recommendations about traveling with newborns in the new 777- F? Do they have baby bassinets on these types of planes? I know I will have to pay 10% of the full fare for the baby. What other extra costs are there?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, do you know which of these 6 seats are the ones allowing to put the baby bassinet? I know that business class only has them in the 4th row. Do you know of any reviews or pictures that I could check out? A Google search did not yield any satisfying results.

I recommend 1A and 1D. That way your baby can sleep well in 1A bassinet while you can enjoy a meal with your wife on 1D thanks to the ottoman.
Also think about bringing something on board to protect the bassinet from light disruptions. As the cabin lights are usually turned on during meal times it is much easier for the baby if it can sleep in the dark.
Works well for us. Our baby normally gets a 10h solid sleep and has not been crying even once on all those flights we have taken her along with us, believe it or not. Funny enough we just recently checked with a medical doctor (for something else) but he confirmed that pain related to ear pressure are very unlikly to happen to her. She has been gifted with wonderful ears that are 100% fit to fly
.
Good luck and enjoy your flight.
