Seat25D
FromLos Angeles-Los Angeles International (LAX)
ToLondon-London Heathrow (LHR)
Seat Maestro was helpful in my selection of D25, some extra cost but unlimited leg room, it made a very good difference on this flight.The Airbus 380 aircraft is quiet, well laid out and a (relative) pleasure to fly in, compared with Boeing models. The BA food was basic, but it's only a 10-11 hour flight, absurd to spend hundreds of dollars more for better food. The bathrooms were fine and kept clean.

FromLondon-London Heathrow (LHR)
ToBuenos Aires-Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE)
Très agréable voyage. Siège confortable et position "flat bed" très reposante. Le personnel de cabine de ce vol a été parfait. Le siège 11K occupé par ma femme lui a permis de se lever la nuit sans enjamber le passager contigu.

This seat row was a good choice as I was able to look aft of the wing to see the ground and over the engine cowling to get a forward view. Any further forward and I would have been unable to see anything on the ground behind the wing.

Seat60B
FromJohannesburg-Oliver Reginald Tambo International (JNB)
ToLondon-London Heathrow (LHR)
Overall a very nice Business class flat-bed seat in the upper deck. Aisle seat, so no need to go over someone else to get out, and because it was the first row and the window seat was facing backwards, no one goes over you! The only drawback is that there is absolutely no place to put anything - your eyeglasses, your paper trash, your water bottle...

Nice cubbies for window seat but legroom is significantly reduced due to some equipment boxes under both sides of the seat in front. Storing anything larger than a small purse is impossible.

Excellent exit row aisle seat between the CW and WT section of this 747 mid-J config. Plenty of leg-room (approximately 10 feet to the bulkhead in front of you) - the takeoff/landing cabin crew seat is directly in front of you and it faces you the entire flight - see attached picture. The seat is a bit narrow since it is an exit row, with an non-movable arm-rest. The TV swings up from the bottom of the seat, but is manageable. The seat itself is a bit old, and still has the old IFE on BA. All in all, the leg room of this seat beats its quality. Perhaps the best WT seat on this version of the BA 747. Note, if you do not have premium BA status, you must pay to pre-book this seat upwards of $70USD.

Couldn't be more pleased! In front of this seat is a floor hatch that must be accessible. That gives you 2 rows worth of legroom. There are strong advantages over bulkhead and exit row seats. 1] the extra legroom, 2] non-isle standing room to access your overhead compartment, 3] a seat in front to stow your smaller gear, 4] not near restrooms so no traffic but close enough, 5] no cranky babies nearby, 6] no reclined seat back in front of you, 7] your own free-standing video display. The seat might be a tiny bit narrower than standard because the tray table is stored in the armrest but it has standard recline. On balance, this is the best seat [if you don't need a window] in World Traveler [economy] class. I give 4 stars for standard in class aspects and 5 stars for the best legroom.

Seat39B
FromLondon-London Heathrow (LHR)
ToAustin-Austin-bergstrom International (AUS)
This seat is better on leg room because there's a gap between the window and the seat that allows you to move your legs around a bit more if you're a taller person. I would definitely use this seat again. And I didn't even notice that its close proximity to the lavatory since there is a bulkhead between the lav and the seats. Great seat for a tall person on a 10 hour flight!

FromAustin
ToHeathrow
Nice seat but after about 6-7 hours my legs started cramping up since there's not much leg space if you're over 6ft. Other than that, it was a pretty nice experience.
