256 seats: 37 good, 25 mixed, 10 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Rows 6–10 and 13–16, seats A and K (Club World): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 30, seats A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J and K (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.
- Rows 46–47, seats B, C, H and J (World Traveller): one of a pair of two seats where the cabin narrows: good for couples, with no third seat to share.
Seats to avoid
- Row 24, seats A, B, D, E, F, J and K (World Traveller Plus): last row of World Traveller Plus, with lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
- Row 48, seats D, E and F (World Traveller): last row of World Traveller, with lavatories and galleys drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
