I am soon to be flying with my wife and 2 teenage daughters on BA to Tokyo. We can book our seats 1 week ahead using my wife’s Royal Jordanian status (BA Bronze equivalent).
This is the first time any of us have ever flown long haul business class and I was wondering if anyone has any advice regarding which seats to select. It is the early afternoon departure which is the old Club World seats.
Many thanks
For a couple, I quite like the old Club World seats – you can dine together and talk (quietly!).
It is unlikely the good, rear of cabin, seats that allow access without hopping over someone else’s feet will still be available for you. So, the more athletic person gets that seat 🙂 (If those seats are available at d-7, billy bonus and jump on them!)
As for teenagers, I wouldn’t necessarily go for a middle group to keep everyone together – that’s for very young children. Another pair of seats within a reasonable supervisory distance should be fine, and that would allow them to possibly have a window seat.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

Thanks Tocsin. I’m struggling to picture what the seats look like. For a couple, can you talk and dine together even if the seats face opposite directions (e.g. seats D and E)?

In the seats that face each other you’re so close you could almost kiss the other person. There’s a sliding divider that has to be down for take off and landing which is why singles hate the old seat.
If you’re in the window seat you have to climb over the legs of the person in the aisle (with the exception of the seat in the rear of the cabin if I remember correctly)
Looks like it’s a 787 so CW is split into 2 sections, the front is smaller with 6AB/JK & 7AB/JK being window side, so you could all have one side or the other. But I’d be surprised if they are there at T-7, good luck.
