luke,
You will be flying on G-BNWH, it is the only one of BA's 767s not yet to be fitted with the new flat bed and IFE system, I believe it goes down to LGW to be done very shortly.
At the moment in economy (2-3-2) yo have a number of larger drop down monitors along the aisle ceiling, you will get to watch at least two movies and some other family type entertainment, or you could choose to listen to some of the audio channels.
The flight itself, looking at tuesdays forecast is likely to depart from 24L and will then head off on a wallasey departure up towards liverpool, the routing after that is very much dependant on the North Atlantic winds, more than likely it will be as you expect and take you somewhere over Ireland and the routing will head towards gander, newfoundland somewhere. That part of the journey will take around 3-4 hours, from there the routing tends to be more regular, you will basically follow the eastern seaboard down past Halifax and on past Bangor, Boston etc and start the desecnt into NY.
There are many approaches into JFK, the usual selection for BA will be either be almost a straight in approach to 22L, or the more complex (and better views for pax) is out over long island and then a series of right turns at low level to land on either 13L/R.
With regards to where to sit in economy, i'm not to sure, however a window seat on the left would give you the best views of manhatten island should the weather be reasonable and you get to land on 13L/R.
The guys flying you there will I'm sure to be more than happy for a flight deck visit either before or after the flight.
Enjoy New York!
