Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Which F seat is best for solo traveller?

  • 279 posts

    I’m headed out to ORD from LHR early in the new year, on BA297 which is currently a 777. I’ve redeemed my GUF voucher and have my pick of seats from the 8 F seats. Currently I am in 1K. Any suggestions for a solo traveller please? I’ve steered away from 1A due to proximity of lavatory. Thanks in advance!

    2A or 2K. 1K is nearer the galley which will be noisy throughout the flight and it’s darker with just a wall in front of you.

    2K. Always sit on the starboard side of the aircraft travelling East to avoid the heat and brightness of the sun.

    So, on this analysis, with the OP flying from London to Chicago, should he be in 2K?

    @JDB completely; I stupidly said East but meant West. I hate being on the sunny side of an aircraft.

    Thanks for the advice. I’ve switched to 2K now.

    The flight also shifted in time from 15.30 to 16.15, which will mean more time in CCR as my train is already booked too.

    I was FLUB’d on my last BA flight home, fully upgraded to F on Etihad home last week. I’m concerned I am developing a taste for F!
