Reply To: BA 77W – seat map mismatch

[dst87]

Yeah, I’m confused too. I’m taking BA as the source of truth here, of course, but I’d like to see which seats are recommended on the aircraft and see a more detailed map, hence looking at various site like SeatMaps and Aero Lopa.

British Airways shows the aircraft type as 77W. I can choose seats from rows 1 to 24, suggesting no First Class cabin. The cabin is divided as rows 1 and 2, then a large gap, then rows 5-7, then a bulkhead, then 8-18, then a bulkhead, then 19-24. Rows 18 and 24 have only the middle pair.

I understand that 77W is a 777-300ER. Both SeatMaps and AeroLopa show a 777-300ER aircraft for BA that has the same cabin division and seat layouts as the BA seat map, but where rows 1 and 2 are First Class, NOT Club Suite.

I mostly just want to know which seats to pick. I know, there are no “bad seats” in Club Suite…

If it helps, the specific flights are these:

LHR > HND BA0005 Nov 26 11:50 – 10:25
HND > LHR BA0006 Dec 13 13:15 – 19:15

Maybe this is just a configuration that the seat map sites don’t have yet? But also… nor does the BA seat map page here: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/seating/seat-maps/full-seatmaps

So this makes me think that either there’s a new layout coming later this year with the First cabin ripped out and replaced with Business, or there’s some strange bug in my reservation that is showing me a mangled seat plan.
