British Airways Boeing 777-200ER (777-200ER, 272 seats)
272 seats: 44 good, 26 mixed, 16 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–7 and 11–14, seats A and K (Club World): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 10, seats A and K (Club World): exit row with extra legroom
- Row 30, 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 31, seat A (World Traveller): no seat in front: BA's map has no seat 30A, so there is more room for your legs.
Seats to avoid
- Row 7, seats E and F (Club World): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 29, seats A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J and K (World Traveller): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 44, seats D, E, F and G (World Traveller): last row of World Traveller, with galleys and lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
