Twin seats on British Airways

[princess pixie]

Not sure if I should pick twin seats at the back of the 777 to tampa, got the new layout both ways and its showing 3 rows of twin seats at the back, we are a couple only this time and hubby not keen anyone sat next to him

I hate turbulence though and heard its felt more in that area, not bothered about being last off plane, also what happens with plane changes if we book a twin seat, are you still sat together somewhere?

Need hubby sat with me as have autism

Anyone any reviews of the twin seats, any pics/reviews generally of the new layout, last 2 times we have done the mia route on 747 so been a while since on a 777

Thanks

We have booked the first 2 rows of 2 for our homeward journey (but on a 747). Someone said the last row don't recline properly so we avoided those. They came well recommended on here when I asked about them, but some people still preferred the middle of the plane.

We also have the last twin set on the flight back next year, keen to hear others opinions.

Just check out if the seats recline fully - see seatguru website or any reviews of the seats. You may not want to recline yours but I bet the person in front...

We flew in them to Miami and back, they are fine, bit of extra room by window to slot a bag (or my daughter used it to see dad behind.
Only disadvantage you are last of the plane

I find the website thebasource/seat-maps/ to be much better than seat guru if that helps.

We had the back row of twin seats LGW to MCO last week and would happily book them again. No issues with recline. Only possible negative is you’re the last to be served with drinks/meals etc, so you may not get your first choice of meal. 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.

Flown on both 747 and 777 using the twin seats, found them to be comfortable with a bit more room around you. Didn't notice any extra movement during turbulence so would say go for it.

I second this! We had the last row of 2 on our BA flight home from LA on Sunday. They don’t recline and the two guys sitting in front of us reclined as far as they could as soon as we were up after take off. The seat was virtually touching my nose. I appreciate on a night flight it is to be expected that people might recline their seat but these two kept them reclined for the whole flight, even when not sleeping, and had to be asked to put their seats upright by the crew when serving food/drink so we didn’t end up wearing our meals 😡
Would not pick these seats again but the rows of 2 in front of us were fine (we had one of those on the flight out). Lesson learned to check SeatGuru before booking seats!

On the plus side we were first to be served meals so didn’t have to eat whatever was left.

This was on a 747 so not sure if the same on other planes.

We always book a pair of seats at the back of the plane. usually the first or second row of 'twos'. Find them more comfortable. Would advise to photo a seat plan before you book them though. A couple of years ago we paid for a 'pair' (quite expensive) with BA and subsequently had a plane layout change and ended up in the middle row. When I queried about a refund on what we'd paid for our seats BA told me there no price difference! Codswallop, but I couldn't get the seat prices up to prove it.
