1K has about 5cm less legroom than 3K on the 777's

+1 and I have no interest in sitting together and prefer to sit foreword facing.

The things that interest me are wider bed, if that is true, and wireless charging, the rest

The biggest improvement would be fleet standardisation and fewer equipment swaps

1K is my go to if it’s available but otherwise any of the A or K seats suit me fine. They are all rear facing which is my preference plus you are closer to the window.

Reluctant to correct you, but isn't it the case that the odd numbered rows are rear facing and have the seat right next to the window, table on the right? Even numbered rows face forward with seat against the aisle.

Hate window seats and hate sitting cough about - so guess it will be B or J Tks for replies

It'll be D or G if you don't want a window, and you'll want even numbered rows to face forward.

Where the “Honeymoon” seats face aft and the divorcee seats face forward.

I’ll take the aft facing window seat any day!

Yes, odd numbers are rear facing and are next to the window., they are A and K
The even numbered ones are forward facing and closer to aisle, they are B and J

@Cruiser Elite , I think the bassinet seats are on the rear cabin bulkhead. But I can’t find something to be sure.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Yes they are - I selected 6J - last row in fore cabin.

Yep I never sit in row 1 for this reason.

Speaking of QSuite next gen, I believe it's debuting on the A350-1000 now because of the 777X delays. Rumours are it will debut on A7-AOJ, which went for its first engine run and taxi check last night.

I’m not tall so I don’t really notice the difference.
I’m very happy to take 1K if it’s free

Curious to know if anyone has sat in the rear facing seats and what the experience was like especially during take off and landing.

I only ever choose the rear facing seats if possible. and don’t notice too much of a difference but for some reason I just feel more comfortable

I haven't really felt that different. Taxiing the first time was interesting, landing was good and takeoff I don't think anything was very different.

The lack of a shoulder strap was really nice though, much more comfortable.

And the real benefit for me is that they are true window seats so further from the aisle.
The forward facing seats are closer to the aisle

100% on this.

Like others I like the closeness to the window. The first takeoff felt a bit odd but not unpleasant and the next time you don't really notice it much. I like watching landings on the nose camera and it does feel a bit odd when you see the landing happening 'in front' of you but the braking etc is coming from 'behind you'.

Thanks for all of your replies.
I have a flight next year DOH CDG and a confirmed seat selection will cost $100+ so I am debating whether to lock a forward facing seat in or take pot luck.
I don’t suffer from air sickness but don’t usually travel on a train ‘backwards’ either. I guess you don’t know until you try
