TheSun.co.uk

SELECTING the right seat on British Airways’ Boeing 777 can enhance your flying experience.

From prioritizing a quick exit to finding the best spot for a nap, here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect seat for your needs.

The seat map for your British Airways flight can vary on each flight

Getting off the plane first

Exiting swiftly upon landing can often set the tone for the rest of your journey.

For those prioritizing a quick exit, seats located near the front of the plane are your best bet.

In British Airways‘ Boeing 777, this means aiming for seats in rows 1 to 4, particularly aisle seats, which offer the advantage of being among the first passengers to disembark.

Best seats for legroom

Legroom can make a big difference when it comes to comfort during a flight, especially a long-haul one.

If stretching out is a priority, consider seats in exit rows or bulkhead seats.

On British Airways’ Boeing 777, these are typically found in rows 10, 21, and 22.

Best seats for taking pictures

For avid photographers or those who simply enjoy gazing at the world from above, the best seats are usually by the windows.

Seats in rows 16 to 26 on the Boeing 777 offer unobstructed views.

Choose a window seat on the side of the plane that matches your destination for the best photo opportunities.

Best seats to get food

Enjoying a good meal onboard is part of the travel experience.

On British Airways’ Boeing 777, seats in the front, middle or end of the plane, around rows 1, 4, 10 and 50, are typically served food first.

If you’re eager to satisfy your hunger promptly, aim for seats in these sections.

Best seats to take a nap

When it’s time to catch some shut-eye, a quiet and comfortable seat can make all the difference.

Seats in rows 25 to 35 on the Boeing 777 tend to experience less foot traffic and noise, making them ideal for a peaceful nap.

Choose a window seat for extra privacy and a quieter environment.

British Airways seats to avoid

While British Airways strives to provide comfort across its fleet, certain seats may not offer the best experience.

Avoid seats near the toilets (typically in the last rows of each section) due to increased foot traffic.

Additionally, seats in the middle section, such as those in rows 35 to 40, may feel more cramped and have less desirable legroom.

How much does a British Airways seat cost?

The price of a seat depends on the type of seat and the aircraft you are travelling in.

However, when booking a basic ticket, which includes economy and hand baggage only, you will get an allocated seat 24 hours before departure when check-in opens.

Here are some estimated costs for seat selection, but please note that these prices are approximate and can vary with each flight:

Euro Traveller (economy short haul) – £7
Word Traveller (economy long haul) – standard £20, twin seats £30, exit row £50
World Traveller Plus (premium economy long haul) – £18, exit row £50
Club Europe (business class short haul) – £14
Club World (business class long haul) – £62
First – seat selection is always free at time of booking

British Airways has many aircraft types, meaning the seat map can vary on flights.

British Airways provides detailed seat maps on their website to check the seat map specific to your flight.

Keep in mind that this may not be the exact aircraft you will be flying on, as BA operates a diverse fleet including single-aisle Airbus A320-200, A320neo, twin-aisle Airbus A350-1000, A380, and Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft.
