Seat2A
FromSan Francisco, CA - San Francisco International (SFO)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
A British Airways 777 in the eight seat version in first class.
2A was the window seat. I was not troubled by the galley for first in front of seat 1A, nor the galley for business behind. the seats had sliding doors making each seat a private suite.
sitting the seat was wide enough, but converted into a bed I found it quite hard, and too narow,the mattress pad was not thick enough. Plenty of storage space, and a deep wide individual luggage compartment above, this easily took my wheel on bag and my brief case. The entertainment system provided the largest screen I have ever seen, but I found the controls a bit slow and fiddly. BA advertised free WiFi, this was a complete bust , it would engage for a few seconds and sometimes a whole minute before dropping out, I had hoped it would improve over land as we aproached Heathrow but no such luck. I was unable to send an email to my pick up, the plane was over two hours late, so my pick up kicked around Heathrow for an extra two hours.
The food was good as was the service, on trying to sleep, i found the cabin too bright, the "No Smoking"sign right above my head illuminated the bed brightly as did two cabin spotlights, pretty anoying.
Obviously I paid lots for the ticket, I felt paying that much for a two hours late flight with not much sleep was a waste of money. I would have felt better just paying the business class fare.
I have had better experiences on Air France 777's from Paris to SFO, wider , softer seats, better food.

Seat1A
FromLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
ToMexico City - Internacional Benito Juarez (MEX)
Overall good. Better air quality helps on long flight. Downside aisles are narrow on 787 and BA lacks full seat adjustment and prefer the more open cabin of AA and JL 77W to the Dilbert cubicles . Personal taste, some folks like to be locked away. BA service was much better than usual. Food is more limited than JL or AA but good quality. I wish BA would serve a salad course.

Rear facing window seat. Was strange sitting backward at first, but you get used to it.
With the partition between the two seat up, it feels like you are in your own little exclusive cabin. The seat is very comfortable and adjusts into many positions including of course completely flat. The fold out tray has plenty of room for your food and drink when it's time to it. The entertainment system is responsive and BA usually have a great selection of current and older movies, TV series and games. I loved playing battleship with whomever was in 10K!
Cabin service was perfect. Not too intrusive and leaving a cart full of snacks and a fridge full of goodies you are allowed to raid at any time. Not that you need to as the food is very filling. It might not look very generous portion wise, but there are enough courses to fill you up. I've never felt so full on an aircraft. I never once actually nabbed anything from the cart or fridge.

The view of the frankly ginormous engine was also spectacular!

Flew on 64A to DFW. I was so happy to be able to bag a top deck seat. It had a very exclusive feel to it . With the aisle seat partition it feels like you're in your own little airborne suite. You have more than enough room and loads or storage thanks to the large bins under the windows. Seat 64A is also the rear most seat, meaning you do not have to step over anyone to get into it. With the partition up, it feels very private. The seat is adjustable to every position you could ever need, including of course lie flat.

The seat was comfortable with a well adjusted footrest. The food and drink was good and delivered by friendly helpful air attendants. Will never travel cattle class again on long haul and would hope to be able to try business class sometime!

Seat15A
FromLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
ToSingapore - Changi (SIN)
This seat has plenty of room. It has a lot of adjustments to recline and lumbar support, and extends to a flat bed. The table folds away nicely and moves backwards and forwards to create room. The TV pops out of the adjoining seat structure and I was able to pass it it get out without closing it. There is a small draw to put nick nacks. The big downside for this seat is that it is close to the toilet. My wife was in 15B an sometimes there were several people queueing for the toilet, and she felt uncomfortable with this. Seat 15 A has aisle access behind the 15B seat which is a benefit. Another downside is that the seat is right over the huge wing so the view out of the widow wasn't good. I'll get some good earplugs for our next trip, because these are decent seats except for proximity to the toilet. Service from the crew was exceptional. Food was served as if in a restaurant and it was lovely and very tasty

Seat10A
FromNassau - Nassau International (NAS)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
Comfy seat, nice and private so ideal for sleeping. As ever the foot stool system BA have in Business means you have to climb over people on the way out /in during the night when everyone is sleeping. The entertainment system (screen size mainly) is a little dated and not at the premium end unlike the ticket cost. Staff were super friendly as ever though.
