    Count those seats again. This was a 3-4-3 configuration, not 3-3-3. Before the pandemic, BA 77W flying into or out of London Heathrow Airport had 3-3-3 configurations in economy class, but in 2020-2021 they refitted all their 777 aircraft to do 3-4-3. The armrests are much narrower and aisle space is more cramped. And they have those bloody entertainment boxes taking up space under the seat in front.
    I used to fly BA regularly before the refits. Since then I've started to pay the extra for premium economy on Virgin Atlantic instead. I still can't sleep sitting up, but at least Premium on Virgin Atlantic 787-9s is comfortable. The food is generally rubbish though.

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  Год назад +1

      Yep, I see it now. It's 3 X 4 X 3 :)
      With how short the flights are from the east coast, I struggled to get much sleep (in between the meals). In a couple of months, I'll have First Class on BA and Upper Class on VS videos coming :)

    What about LAX-LHR on the 777s? Do they have the same economy seat because I'm going to Doha this winter and I'm not sure if those 777s will have good economy seats because I do not like the old ones based on my research
    Edit: The flight to Doha will most likely be via London which is why I asked about BA's 777s lol

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  Год назад +1
