BA 0016 seat configuration

[sydney slug]

I am in BA J SYD SIN on 26 Dec and although i refuse to pay for seat allocation in business i just checked the seat map on ba.com. It appears the plane will be a refitted 777 with business suites going from row 5to 28. That doesn't leave much room for economy or premium economy. Last business seat well past the wing. I can't see this configuration on seatguru or AEROlopa. Any thoughts?

There should only be row 5-24 on December 26's BA16, which is this layout: BA Boeing 777-300ER type 77H with Club World Suites - aeroLOPA | Detailed aircraft seat plans

This is the configuration:

BA Boeing 777-300ER type 77H with Club World Suites - AeroLOPA | Detailed aircraft seat plans

Hola > British Airways > Boeing 777-300ER (type 77H)This is the latest version of the British Airways 777-300ER with four classes of accommodation. All aircraft are equipped with Wifi. In-flight entertainment installed is powered by a Panasonic eX3 system delivering content gate to gate...

As this plane has Club Suites, all of the business seats are pretty good so no need to pay for advance seat selection. You can choose from the remaining seats at OLCI (or a bit earlier if you have any oneworld status).

Yes, the economy cabin is quite small!

We are happy to fly J on the BA 777. I think it is a really good seat. But if it is their 787 then we fly F. They still have the backward facing J seats.

However on BA 16 into Sydney on the 777 the best J seats are rows 5-7 as in Sydney they always use the second door so those rows get to get off before the F passengers but the other rows are held back until the F passengers are off.

Sorry yes I misspoke when I said down to row 28 it is only 24. I am pretty surprised that there are 24 rows of J, 2 rows of F and 18 all together of premium and economy. That is a lot of premium v non premium. Interesting that BA are configuring that way. 76 business passengers and only 132 economy.

Seatguru was abandoned more than 4 years ago now...it doesn't know that any BA 777 has Club Suites.

They still have the backward facing J seats.

My preference is rear facing seats and love airlines that have them

I'm not sure why too surprised? Have you seen the yield of premium v non-premium? If you're a regular BA flyer you'll see most Y doesn't start till well after the wing as each J seat yields multiples of some Y seat.
