Twin seats on British Airways

Have sat in plenty of other locations and can’t say I noticed any difference with turbulence, but can’t really compare as turbulence varies anyway. No issues with getting off last as the plane emptied quickly and minimal queues at immigration. Still had to wait for our bags.

Can I ask if the back row seats recline fully, some or not at all? Thanks

Don’t know about the twin seats but the very last row with 4 seats did not recline. The last row in the first economy cabin did though, so we mistakenly thought the very last row would be the same. Very uncomfortable night flight home, so much so we are flying business on way home from Vegas.

Thanks. I’m losing the will to live with these seats! I paid something like £70 each for them having spoken with 2 different members of staff at BA who both said they fully recline. Seatguru say they have limited recline and some dibbers say they do and some say they don’t! I will not be happy if the row in front reclines in my face if my seat doesn’t move back as the seats are cramped as it is!

We flew FLL to LGW in August on the 777 in the two seats at the very back and they definitely didn’t recline.

Thanks! Sounds like I’ve been sold a pup! I think I’ll see them for myself in the outbound flight this weekend and might move them even though I’ve paid for them on the way home if they are non-reclining as I now expect 😭

We flew from Gatwick to Tampa a few weeks ago, and booked two rows of two seats at the back of the plane (refurbished 777) for both journeys. A week before we travelled we logged onto the BA app and noticed that we’d been moved to different seats coming home. It turns out that if there has been a change of plane, these are the seats that are affected. So, if you do book these seats, keep checking the app. We’re flying to Miami in February and the same thing happened, but we saw it early enough to book the back seats again.

Thanks for heads up. We’ve booked them coming back in a few weeks time and they are still showing just now. Tbh if they don’t recline, i’ll move anyway and lose what I paid!

Just flown back tampa to Gatwick in these seats, we had the last 2 rows of 2. Loved them, would happily book them again.

& they do recline. Felt more spacious having the wider aisle too.

They do recline and the wider aisle meant less knocks from the trolleys.
