British Airways Boeing 777-200ER (777-200 with First, 237 seats)
237 seats: 48 good, 20 mixed, 13 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Rows 6–7 and 10–17, seats A and K (Club World): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 25, seats D, E, F and G (World Traveller): exit row on BA's map with open floor in front of the door: lots of legroom, though people pass through to the door and lavatories.
- Row 26, seat A (World Traveller): no seat in front: BA's map has no seat 25A, so there is more room for your legs.
Seats to avoid
- Row 8, seat K (Club World): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 24, seats A, B, D, E, F, G, J and K (World Traveller Plus): last row of World Traveller Plus, with lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
- Row 40, seats D, E, F and G (World Traveller): last row of World Traveller, with lavatories and galleys drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
