219 seats: 11 good, 43 mixed, 18 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 2, seats A and K (First): 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.

Seats to avoid

  • Rows 6–7 and 10–13, seat E (Club World): middle seat of the centre three with no aisle of its own: you step past D or F to get out.
  • Row 7, seats D and F (Club World): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
  • Row 21, 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 44, seats D, E and F (World Traveller): last row of World Traveller, with galleys drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
