Hello,
I’ve been trying to work out which club world seats are the best to select within club world on the Boeing 777-200 (Gatwick) plans. I’ve got 3 questions:
1) I’m guessing there’s not really any good seats since they’re all positioned the same way? it’ll be myself and my partner. Seat plan here: https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/information/seating/seat-maps/full-seatmaps
2) I also read the HfP guide to BA Club Suites and it mentions BA don’t plan on upgrading any of their Gatwick planes. Would I be right in assuming that it’s not worth the investment based on the age of those aircraft and they’ll no doubt replace the aircraft before they even get their investment back?
3) Is there any news on when BA expect to replace those aircraft?
Thank you 🙂
I asked the same question so here goes (yet to actually fly) :
1a- 4J/K – face each other and no clambering over people
1b- Any 2 in the middle, though you need to clamber over people (I assume you don’t have this issue in row 4 though it seems blocked for bassinet) – anyone know when these are released?
2/3 – correct. Apparently there are a few LHR777 flying out of LGW so you might get lucky.

The same also applies to The A/B seats, in case that wasn’t clear.
@ekposh The bassinet seats don’t seem to be released until OLCI opens.Thank you both, luckily I’ve already pre-selected 4J/K 🙂
We flew to Cape Town on 21st Jan, having pre-selected 4J/K. I’m silver, wife gold.
At check in we were reseated in 1J/K. Crew had no idea why. Not very happy as we booked the seats 9 months ago, but not much we can do about it I suppose. 1J/K are decent enough.
On longer flights (>9 hrs?) 4K is usually blocked for crew rest, so 4A/B are the only ‘good’ seats available for a couple. Even if marked free by accident, it is possible that 4K could be reclaimed, as crew rest rules are pretty much a go/ no-go situation. (I’m not BA staff, just seen this explained before…)

Hopefully not the case as I have booked 4J/K for the 7.5hr flight. Guess I’ll find out in 8 months time hehe
